The juxtaposition of old and new is a defining feature of the vibrant, flourishing modern day city of Manchester in northern England. The city boasts many landmarks that define its history as a powerhouse of the British industrial revolution and the birthplace of corduroy as we know it today. Corduroy’s defining features of versatility, durability and soft lustre have seen it utilised across the whole of society throughout the years, from workwear uniforms to the heights of 1970’s fashion. Offered in a range of wales (the number of cords per inch) and colours, this fabric is ideal for separates in the modern day wardrobe.
