Corduroy is a textile 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. Corduroy is, in essence, a ridged form of velvet.
The fabric looks as if it is made from multiple cords laid parallel to each other and then stitched together. The interpretation of the word as corde du roi (from French, the cord of the King) is a folk etymology.
As a fabric, corduroy is considered a durable cloth. Corduroy is found in the construction of trousers, jackets and shirts. The width of the cord is commonly referred to as the size of the "wale" (i.e. the number of ridges per inch). The lower the "wale" number, the thicker the width of the wale (e.g., 4-wale is much thicker than 11-wale). Corduroy’s wale count per inch can vary from 1.5 to 21, although the traditional standard falls somewhere between 10 and 12. Wide wale is more commonly used in trousers and furniture upholstery (primarily couches); medium, narrow, and fine wale fabrics are usually found in garments worn above the waist.

My fingers too numb to write
But I write to spite the cold
And moon, I can see you there
You're still hangin' in there
Though you are so very old
And I'm just thinkin' about a boy
Wearin' wintergreen corduroy
You're wakin' me where I sleep
You're takin' me where I keep
Tellin' myself not to go
What am I s'posed to do
All by myself without you
On a train movin' so slow?
I'm just thinkin' about a boy
Wearin' wintergreen corduroy
On the train again
Movin' away from you
On the train again
Movin' away from you
On the train again
I never wanted to leave
The sun has set in the west
The moon is doin' her best
To light up the sky tonight
I look to the moon for you
Maybe you're lookin' too
It's really a lovely sight
And I'm just thinkin' about a boy
Wearin' my wintergreen corduroy
On the train again
Movin' away from you
On the train again
Movin' away from you
On the train again
I never wanted to leave you
