Corduroy pants - from the under layer to the broad masses
Like many items of clothing, corduroy pants were initially heavily represented by the lower class. This was because most people used them as inexpensive work trousers, which at the same time also protected them from the cold if necessary. In the 18th century as well as in the 19th century, corduroy trousers and clothing made of corduroy were increasingly worn in schools in the form of school uniforms.
A little later hikers became aware of the material and so from the beginning of the 19th century the material was increasingly associated with hikers and/or scouts. Paired with a windbreaker or another between -seasons jacket, you are very well prepared for the wilderness with corduroy trousers. There are also shorts that are made of corduroy. This trend developed during World War II , when more and more boys wore short black corduroy trousers.
