This 100% cotton yarn-dyed "Bedford" shirt is manufactured with environmentally conscious processes focusing on conserving the planet and its natural resources. The "Bedford" in the name refers to Bedford Cord, a distinctive woven fabric characterized by its raised, lengthwise ridges. Unlike corduroy, where cords are cut into the fabric, Bedford Cord features ridges woven directly into its structure, providing a unique textural appeal. Bedford Cord gets its name from the town of Bedford in England, where it was first produced and later popularized, in the late 15th century, by the Duke of Bedford. We have given it our “Eco-Friendly Trademark Vintage Wash" for a super-soft hand feel. To know more click on www.zodiaconline.com/sustainablemanufacturing
