Why We Love Corduroy at Black Bear Brand

Corduroy is one of the most underrated fabrics on earth, and I'll die on that hill.

It's got everything I love: texture, warmth, history, and that soft hand that only gets better the more you wear it. So at Black Bear Brand we treat corduroy with the same respect we give our denim.

Made in Japan, where it's done best

We make our corduroy fabric in Japan, we dye and distress it in Japan, and we sew our corduroy pants in Japan — because that's where it can be done the best. Premium cord with real depth, built to be worn hard.

The fabric with character

Those ridges — the wales — catch light and shadow in a way flat fabric never will. Men's corduroy pairs perfectly with selvedge denim and good boots, and it ages into something personal. Once cord gets a place in your rotation, it earns a permanent one.
