Cold weather is in, get the cords out!

Originating as a heavy-duty workwear fabric in Manchester and still fondly called "Manchester" in Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands, corduroy is a fabric with deep roots and unmatched character and is the PERFECT material for those who wish to layer for autumn with a stylish flair.

Wrap up warm with ‘Corduroy: The Story of a Timeless Fabric’ by @just_ask_eric_musgrave publishing next month!

Pre-order your copy now, available via our website (link in bio) and via all good bookshops.
