Corduroy is fast establishing itself as this year's fabric. While the ribbed cotton itself provides utilitarian tenaciary, texture and warmth, it is the fabric's long held associations that may provide a hint to its current revival as a fabric for all seasons.

It is Corduroy's link with the good breeding and country living that made it an essential ingredient in the gentleman's wardrobe along with Wellington boots and decent wooly.
