Corduroy Chronicles: A Sturdy Fabric with a Rich Heritage

Corduroy, renowned for its distinctive ribbed pattern, traces its roots back to ancient Egypt. Initially crafted from cotton, this fabric found its way to Europe during the Renaissance. The word "corduroy" itself is a blend of the French words "corde du roi," meaning "cord of the king," suggesting its royal origins.

Beyond its noble beginnings, corduroy evolved into a robust and hard-wearing fabric. The raised ribs or wales not only provide a unique texture but also enhance its durability. As the fabric gained popularity, especially in the 18th century, it became a symbol of durability and workwear.

In the 20th century, corduroy found its place in both casual and formal wear. Its ability to withstand wear and tear made it a favorite for trousers, jackets, and, of course, shorts. The San Diego Cord Shorts pay homage to this rich history, blending tradition with a contemporary twist. Crafted from Tan Cord Bossa, these shorts not only embody the hard-wearing qualities of corduroy but also showcase its timeless appeal.
