Hello and welcome to the short stuff, I'm Josh, there's shock. There's J J Brand new guest producer we'd get this revolving door going on it's too slake beautiful in this short stuff can t Jays were he's a pro, though like it's not like you can to show up here. Greater ticket like the daily knew. No, nothing like that. This is it. This isn't. Cats is Delhi Miller I be pretty happy for, nor is it Doktor catches therapy office anytime in here of doktor cats- I think of them. I think it was DOM Moreira he's too be irregular on any of the gallery. Doktor cats- Chacha john- it's always has been in my head since, like ninety ninety three may doktor gets was great. I miss it really was Lisco whatsoever,

That's, ok, all right, but let's talk about cord of Roy Furs, sure sure that's fine! We can talk about that. Can't you see I'm wearing it today, I know you're wearing some rough colored corduroy pants that I would say are maybe probably about it. Well, ten to twelve whale yeah, maybe eight they're, pretty standard Levi's words, whatever that whale is and if you're running talking about will tell you here in a minute after we get do a little bit of the the history here, which is debatable. Apparently, it is because this either french and origin corridor do Roy the kings cord My money is a little more toward what the bricks brother say, which is now made. It was St Street where, in eighteenth century England, I don't think the Brooks brother solemnly

now. What are they sound like? I can just think if Albert Brooks Super Dave Osborne as the bricks brothers asking why Dave Osborne he's not a bit sissy, their brothers man, believing no near no, it's great wow may their parents must have a really cool public sector. Ok, either way were really talking about here is where the origin of the meat for the fabric came from it looks Chuck like Corduroy has its roots way further back than that that it comes from possibly improbably a type of fabric from dating back to about two hundred c e back in ancient Egypt COS

the four seasons named after the city where they were made out, who start, which is, I think, Fustian still actually a term for certain types of corduroy early certain types of fabric, including corduroy, that a real thick in squishy in in originally they were pretty course yeah, but that Brooks Brothers story that has allowed credibility, because the word cord referencing, the the rose, the riches, the cords, which makes sense in do Roy which is a wolf fabric right. That sounds like a pretty open and shut case. Demeanor younger Amnon, with yeah I'm going with the Brooks Brothers interpretation to is really just the the in the impression you did that I had an issue that many fabric itself. You think that is it

gin or middle ages, and then later egyptian YO? So so it was an egyptian first, but it was it. It wasn't, courted there weren't whales on it was just one thick piece of like velvet kind right where you have a certain kind of fabric and then woven on top of that fabric. Is it the fabric that may Kind of pleasure, thicker sturdier, and that is what Corduroy is edits its base and that that's what they were, King for many many centuries and finally, at some point during the middle ages, somebody said: hey. I've got a really good idea about this. Let's turn this into corduroy by cutting rose into the sea right. What we do know in the United States is that it was first made and was a mass and about seventeen. Eighty

and I do need to shut out corduroy the bear here, because not only is it does. It appear in this house to forks short article on corduroy, but I have a pretty great corduroy. The bare history, which was I love that book a yacht, is again, sure did you. I was aware of it, but I think I was a little ahead of my time I think that the head of my time to I mean I think it predates me but of the story and my mom made, she had a teddy bear that look come corduroy and made him not little corduroy overalls than shorts and was missing a buttons that is so soon yeah. I had my very own, that's kind of one of the great things about my mama. She could really so, and so she could make me things when they did not exist on the toy market. Obviously she could save some money and just make her own knockoffs, where we did. That is well right. Right had more than once,

short made for Irma like Curtain fabric. If it's late, my mommy should take my t, shirts and like stuff, I'm in turn him into pillows when I grew up its way near there was pretty sweet. I have no idea where they are anymore, but yeah had a few people realise I had one. That's a big Macs area that be pretty cold out today, Anyway, so we mention the whales and I think we should get to that before we take our little break. The whales. Are those rigid low, rigid? W h e s, I'm so glad you spelled it yeah, it's the higher the whale count. The smaller the the little ridge is. So if you have one one of those really fine sort of like Corduroy OX words, I'm not a huge fan of them

for myself. I don't mind the way they look, but I've never like them for me personally, but that's about sixteen whale. Why don't you like about them? Is just not my bag, I'm not a big uncolored shirts period. They device ruffle my neck and much in yeah. I buy that particular when you just described about the sixteen well corridor think is typically called pin cord. Yet you have some of those right. I do not, but I have to say researching corduroy made me want to go by some corduroy stuff, so I think it's in the offing, yet my problem with my cords. Is they really where outline these very fast, yet I spent a lot of time on his knees. Efforts not scrubbin floors much early, so I don't know what the deal is. Ok, well, that's a mystery. I think we can go to commercial brake on. I will figured out well now job in shock, a thing or two Josh

Why, as K that stance, I come promo code s. Why, as K Stamps outcome, or go to the post office again. I took her back and let's talk a little more about how quarters Drake, as this blue my mind when I finally saw some diagrams- and I understood it right- let's hear it so with a typical fabric, you take two different sets of yards.

You leave them together, perpendicular to one another, and you have fabric when you're, making a fustian like a thicker, fluff, ear fabric like say Terry Cloth or velvet or Corduroy Terry Cloth. You is very nice, isn't it yeah? You use a third set of yarn and, what you have as their basic. You know flat fabric and woven into the top of that is that thicker, pile of fabric called the worse straight. Yes, ok, and so you just leaving it like that. You have something like velvet or again like Terry Cloth, which you love so much, but if you want to make corduroy you take that that dumb fustian fabric and need a very sharp set of scissors or something like that and you cut a line all the way along the link of the fabric and why you ve just done is created a two whale bolt.

Corduroy, but there's no one's going to wear that right, yeah into we'll, both as a great been named by the way it is. I that's funny causes. Can see only pursue brothers, somebody like flee from red hot chile payers, but who wear anything is pants, as we have seen over the years, so you start making more cuts and more cuts in like you're saying, depending on how supple or nice you

to make the fabric the more cut you gonna make, but, however many cuts there are, however, many ridges there are per inch. That's the whale count in that's the kind of describes how thick the riches are. But the point is: when you make that cut, what you ve done is cut, that top a layer of fabric, the additional third set of yarn, and you ve cut it into two and you ve exposed the other traditional to yarn, set a fabric underneath that's what corduroy is it's a raised ridge that used to be all one complete set of yarn and then there's valleys that are the fabric below yeah. I've been practicing for four days it's good and it still didn't go according to plan it like. I want to cut my thigh with a razor blade right now, I'm so frustrated chuck. No, I think I was perfect. Actually, what you end up with and how they actually refer to it in the industry, is a three dimensional fabric

dimensional pile weave, unlike you mentioned Velvet and Terry Cloth, are also three dimensional fabrics and it's pretty great. They say in here that you need to steam or fluff corduroy. I don't think that's the case. Release I've never done that No only a bergs brothers would do that, but I do have a pretty rockin corduroy coat from back. In the day I mean the thing is, I probably had it for twenty years and I got it second hand and it is beautiful and it's got a really fat whales on it, and I don't pull much anymore. It used to be my New York coat, but have evolved a bit since then, but I still have it and it's really nice code. That is the AL. I think I know the co you're talking to me. Their confusing you or Joe Mccormick has one that he likes to Iraq Alot. It's probably joke, has ever one mine in years. Ok, but you got your second hand

twentysomething years ago. So that would coincided roughly with the last quarter. Revival in the when I remember was in the nineties to remember that yeah, I mean there are big and fifty is certainly in the Sixtys and Seventys and then in the nineties I think that's when I got this thing and I got to, when shorter, when at a narrower whale and then. Is longer one that has the big fat wheels and I think I still have both of them. Is it like a trench coat one slash, four or trench coat, long corduroy coat with big brown buttons and like a wolf lapel, is it like? the bar code or something what a barn coat and ensure that it sounds like own cycle. To where the send someday hovering in the three and four showed tell sure. But yes, those kind of big in the fifties really took off in the late sixties in the rear.

Huge in the seventies and then went nowhere until the nineties. Then I guess this thing said in the two thousand tens it came back or the two thousands. It came back which I was not aware of that at all. Well, I've always right the cord pants, but over the. It is range from like school, uniform fabric too and more wine. One low ranking soldiers were at work where, if you worked and like a factory because the stuff is pretty warm right because this thicker and is durable to you very durable, except in the knees and, and then it's you know. Sometimes it's also been looked at as something a little fancier right, which apparently originally was. It was sportswear for the upper class and then is somehow just kind of fellow to favour and became associated with the working class and the lower classes, and then it's it's kind of stay that way until

I think, starting in the twenties for a little while there was pretty common as upholstery for cars, and you know that I have seen a car upholstered in Korea and it's pretty awesome bet. It's pretty also the way they could be any better as if there were like patchwork corduroy. Yet undersea now another job, that you're talking about that is Jos for sure. Yes, I think it even has elbow patches. Yet his is more like a blazer sure, not a duster like yours, it's racket. You got nothin else man, I support corduroy, like know a little bit more housemaid yet, and I say where it it's never out of fashion up with corduroy reed.
