It is fashionable to wear corduroy in autumn this year!

The beginning of corduroy dates back to the French dynasty. It is said that the corduroy presented by the weavers was used for the uniforms of the famous servants of Louis XIV. After that, it was introduced to England due to the industrial revolution that occurred in the middle of the 18th century. In England, it is said to have been a favorite casual wear for the upper class.

In the 1950s in the United States, it became a standard material for the ivy style that was born among prestigious students.

Zori sandals and geta thongs made of corduroy have been popular in Japan since the Meiji period. In 1894 (Meiji 27), production finally began in Japan. In the 1960s, the ivy style and American casual style became popular in Japan, and corduroy spread as a staple material.
