Today (11/11) is Corduroy Appreciation Day

CorduroyToday (11-11) is Corduroy Appreciation Day. It's the date which most closely resembles corduroy.

Corduroy is a fabric composed of twisted fibers that when woven lie parallel (similar to twill) to one another to form the cloth's distinct pattern, a "cord." Modern corduroy is most commonly composed of tufted cords, sometimes exhibiting a channel (bare to the base fabric) between the tufts. The word "corduroy" can be used as a noun, a transitive verb or an adjective.
