Corduroy Corduroy is a textile composed of twisted fibres that, when woven, lie parallel (similar to twill) to one another to form the cloth's distinct pattern, a "cord." Corduroy is, in essence, a ridged form of velvet. It is considered a durable cloth, mostly being found in the construction of trousers, jackets and shirts. Other names are often used for corduroy, such as corded velveteen, elephant cord, pin cord, Manchester cloth and cords. |
