What is the history of corduroy?
Corduroy was first used by kings and noblemen in France and in a few other countries in Europe. For that reason, it was called the "cloth of the king". It was used for the upper ajusted garment (pourpoint) of the king which was called in French "justaucorps". The last part of that word is pronounced "cor" and means "body". The other part of the word "...duroy" is two words in French. Those words mean "... of the king". Kings and noblemen had their pourpoint (to keep them warm) made of wide wale corduroy. Many french kings and Henry Tudor had often their pourpoint made in wide waled velvet close-fitted to the body. However the French don't use the word "corduroy" but "velours côtelé" which could be translated by the words "ribbed velvet". Only french canadians pronounce "corduroy" as french words "cor-du-roy" exactly as if they were saying "body of the king" (corps du roi). Since it was a durable fabric which could be made out of cotton, it was used for young men and workmen for a few centuries before denim became more popular in Europe and North America. Though is was made known as a fabric for kings, it became "the poor man's velvet" since it was used by workers, artists and students. Nowadays, manufacturers of corduroy use some other component with cotton so that corduroy is softer and no more a rugged fabric. It is now often used by designers for more sophisticated clothing though is it still used for work wear especially in some countries.

How thick was a knight's armor?
Surprisingly thin, in many cases. the classic "knight in shining armour" consists of steel plate which would vary depending on location - the head and chest protected with much thicker steel than the arms or fingers. As a general summary, based off original harnesses shows the following: Head: about 2.5mm - 3mm thick. Breastplate: 3-4mm thick on the centre, thinning down to 1mm at the sides. Elbow and Knees, about 1.5mm-2mm. Arms and Legs: around 1mm thick, sometimes less. Feet and Fingers, about 0.6-0.8mm thick. Plate armour is made of curved or ridged surfaces, which give a lot of strength and make hits slide off, where a flat surface could easily be dented deeply. Underneath the metal, a knight would wear clothes called an Arming Doublet or Pourpoint, which in some cases had padding to help absorb impact shock - this would likely add a centimetre or so of thickness in some areas. In earlier armour (before the 13th Century AD), before full plate was developed, the armour would've been made from maille (chain-mail). As maille is flexible thicker padding was worn - a thick garment called a Gambeson or Aketon, with 1-2cm of padding to absorb impacts, while the chain protected from slashing cuts. Very thick plate armour was also made, specifically for jousting, often 5,6 or even 7mm thick plates of solid steel, making the armour extremely heavy and immobile. However, this was only used for sport jousting, and not for battles. Confusion between sporting and combat armour however has helped create the myth that knights' armour was incredibly heavy and immobile.
What are corduroys?
Corduroy pants are trousers or jeans made with corduroy fabric, a cut-pile fabric like velvet with ribs (narrow, medium or wide). From a distance, narrow wales corduroy look like velvet. Pants or jeans made of corduroy are called corduroys or manch (in Britain). The word "corduroy" was inspired by the French words "corps du roi" which meant it was an garment of the king. It was worn as pourpoint (wide wale velvet quilted doublet : close-fitting jacket without sleeves especially during cold months) Nowadays, French call that fabric "velours côtelé". Translated in English word for word, it would mean "corded or waled velvet". Up to recently, corduroy was usually made 100% cotton. (All those words : doublet, justaucorps come from Latin and Old French). It was also used as leggings (culottes) for the French stable lads and young countryman. Corduroy pants were worn for a few centuries by workmen in many countries because it was a durable fabric for active men. It was used by Englishmen and Frenchman alike for riding breeches and knickers. In Western Europe and North America, some working men wore corduroy breeches. During WWI, a lot of soldiers wore corduroys as part of their uniform. In the second part of the 20th century, corduroy pants and corduroy jeans were the most popular for college and university students. Scouts wore corduroy shorts and it was part of the uniform in a lot of private school especially catholic schools. Workman still wear corduroys in some countries such as Germany (Zunftcordhose or Zimmermannshose) and France where countrymen usually wore brown corduroys (marron). Since those pants were made in Manchester during the first part of the 20th century, the word Manchester was used in reference to corduroys and many countries in Europe used «Manch» almost as a brand name. As an example, that word is used by Czechs for corduroys (Manchestrove). Some british lads would call corduroys by the word "Manch". For the same reason some men have developed a leather fetish, a few men have a velvet fetish or a corduroy fetish because of an accidental connection made between sexual pleasure and wearing corduroys. Many stories were reported in the end of the 19th century or the beginning of the 20th by psychologists. The famous british actor John Gielgud had such a fetish for corduroys. It was publicly known when his diary was published after his death. Erik Satie, the French composer, wore only gray corduroys suits. When he died he had a closet full of corduroy suits. Such a fetish was common amongst gay men but there are also heterosexual men turned on by corduroys. The belgian author Georges Eekhoud wrote in 1904 a book named «Voyous de velours» that is «velvet or corduroy rogue» were it is obvious he had a special attraction for poor young men who wore faded corduroys. In French, the word «velours» is often used either for «velvet» or «corduroy». If a young frenchman says : «Je porterai mon jeans velours marron», he probably means «I will wear my brown corduroy jeans» and not «my brown velvet jeans».
