The feature of corduroy shirts that makes them desirable is their softness and how comfortable they feel when worn. This is due to the weave and the soft ridges, or wales, built into the fabric. The number of these wales varies from a standard count of around 10 per inch, to higher counts in pincord and lower counts in elephant cord. The material is constructed in a similar way to velvet and in fact the term "corded velveteen" is often used.

So there are features of corduroy to be appreciated and a quick browse through your local vintage clothing store will reveal an abundance of corduroy trousers and shirts on sale. An indication perhaps that many people have already experienced the advantages of the material and will even seek out used garments as alternative options.

The make-up of corduroy that makes it ideal for trousers, soft one moment yet structural the next in a different plane, and so smarter-looking than plain cotton, also lends itself to shirt designs. The fabric has directional properties that can be applied to shirt very nicely. Collars can be soft on the neck, yet stable where they need to be. Shirts can also be worn un-tucked and not look over casual either.

Although the corduroy shirt has never disappeared completely, the original articles found in vintage clothing stores do attract buyers who can't find the equivalent new items on the high street. Of the new items available, some by very well-known designer brands, prices can vary wildly. Brands that thrive on classic heritage and appeal to country-set feature some very expensive corduroy shirts. Ralph Lauren, Diesel and Boos all include versions in their ranges. But a traditional plain cord shirt can be found almost anywhere still, with vintage stores stocking the more interesting varieties.
