The History of Corduroy

While corduroy brings to mind fashion of the 1970s, it is derived from fustian, a fabric which can be traced back to Egypt around 200BC. A heavy cloth with a raised nap similar to velvet or moleskin, fustian had not yet acquired the distinctive ridges that would transform it into corduroy. It was favoured by schoolmasters in 18th century Britain, and after the Industrial Revolution, as a material for working men's clothing.

The wales that now define the look of corduroy are created by weaving layers of threads into a base fabric, followed by gluing, cutting and brushing treatments. Wales are measured in ridges per inch; the higher the wale, the finer the cord. At TOAST, we utilise soft organic corduroy across both our womenswear and menswear collections.

Corduroy Care Guide

Corduroy is valued for its durability, soft handle, and versatility across clothing and homeware. Believed to have evolved from Ancient Egyptian fustian, a weighty cloth with a raised nap, its distinctive ridges, or “wales,” were later developed to strengthen the fabric.

  • Wash corduroy inside out, with fastenings closed, at 30°C or on a cool setting.
  • Avoid overloading the machine to prevent surface damage.
  • Shake out gently after washing, smooth seams.
  • Hang to air dry to prevent creasing.
  • Store on a hanger.
