Corduroy
Beloved teddy bear
Corduroy is a durable fabric with distinctive raised parallel ridges called wales.
The texture comes from cut pile arranged in vertical cords, making it soft and slightly fuzzy.
Corduroy appears most often in pants, jackets, and upholstery: He wore brown corduroy trousers.
A corduroy road is made of logs laid side by side across swampy ground, the surface resembling the fabric's ridges.
