[edit] What is corduroy?
Is corduroy manmade, from a plant or from an animal? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 172.201.160.29 (talk) 12:55, 10 December 2006 (UTC).
A: Corduroy is a type of weave, and as such is neither plant nor animal. Referencing the article, it is typically a cotton based cloth.
