content: The following description is from a National Cotton Council brochure: "Corduroy is a fabric so much a part of the contemporary scene that most of us take it for granted, never realizing what an amazing feat of a textile technology it is. It's been around for hundreds of years, but it wasn't until post-war 20th century that it became fashion's darling. So popular has it been in the past few seasons that mills have had to work around the clock to meet the demands for it."
