Pana Budapest

Corduroy, also known as Corderoy or Corduroy, is a classic winter fabric used to make clothes – such as informal suits and trousers – or to upholster cushions or sofas. It is, without a doubt, a good cotton alternative to our polyester-based velvet. This cotton composition of our Corduroy Budapest makes this fabric very soft to the touch, not rough at all. Its parallel fibers, also called ridges or wales, could come from the French expression corduroy, but its inner part is also very soft.

It is believed that the name corduroy could come from the French expression "corde du roi", which means "king's cord", although an English origin is also spoken of. What is clear is that the first textile production of this unique fabric took place in Manchester during the industrial revolution and that, at that time, this city was known for its huge number of cotton looms.

The thickness of our corduroy, 210 g/m2, makes this fabric suitable for clothing not only in winter but also in less cold seasons, such as autumn or winter. It is a fabric that allows for a wide range of colors in its prints, being able to combine colors as disparate as forest green, burgundy, camel, or navy blue.
