The moleskin was born before the corduroy and in fact it is considered just the forerunner, has all the same characteristics except the appearance.
History wants it to be produced for the first time in a city center of fabric production in the 2nd century BC overlooking the Nile River in Egypt: Al-Fustat.
Needless to say, the definition of fustian is taken precisely from the name of this city.
The enormous success due to the exceptional resistance, its convenience and practicality meant that production began in England in the sixteenth century.
Appreciated for military uniforms, hunting and outdoor sports, it was so that the corduroy fabric was developed from corduroy which was presented for the first time in Manchester in the eighteenth century, the "corduroy" whose etymology derives from French "cord du Roy" or fabric of the king (the liveries of the servants in France were in this fabric).
Few fabrics such as corduroy and fustian give us such pleasant sensations with their bright color tones and their warm fluidity, for these reasons they have never been forgotten and fashion offers them continuously.
