Corduroy - Corduroy (English spelling)

Japanese: コーデュロイ - こーでゅろい(英語表記)corduroy
Corduroy - Corduroy (English spelling)

In German it is called gerippter Manchester, and in French it is called corde du roi, meaning "king's ridges." Also called corduroy, it is a type of weft cotton velvet with ridges running vertically. After the wool weft threads are woven into a plain or twill weave, they are cut vertically with a knife to make the fibers even. It is generally dyed plain, but recently colorful patterns have also been seen. In Japan, production began in the Fukude region of Shizuoka Prefecture in the late Meiji period and has gradually become more popular. Because the fabric is thick and durable, it is used for practical clothing such as children's clothes, work clothes, and trousers.

Japanese:

ドイツ語ではgerippter Manchester、フランス語ではcorde du roiで「王様の畝(うね)」という意味。コール天ともいい、緯毛(よこげ)綿ビロードの一種で、経(たて)方向に畝のある織物。平織あるいは綾織(あやおり)の地の中に毛緯糸を織り込んだのち、経方向にナイフで切り毛足をそろえる。一般に無地染めされるが、最近では多彩な柄物もみられる。日本では、明治後期から静岡県の福田(ふくで)地方で生産が始まりしだいに盛んになっている。生地(きじ)が厚手で、耐久力があるため、実用衣料として子供服、作業服、ズボンなどに使われる。
