It seems that today, 11/11/11, is a day loved by the Cordury Appreciation Club. At 5,000 members strong, today is the day they've been waiting for because 11/11/11 most closely resembles the classic fabric.
And judging by the WSJ's story, the Club takes corduroy very seriously.
To join, applicants must recite an oath and pledge to regularly wear clothing made of corduroy, and to keep mum about details of what goes on during meetings. "We practice secret rituals," says Mr. Rohan. "I wouldn't call it dancing but there are chants."
And, should you want to join the Club, you'd better follow the dress code:
Security is necessary "to keep the undesirables out—usually some ruffian at each big event," says Mr. Schlachter, 32. And who, typically, is an undesirable? "Some advocate of denim or velvet who shouldn't be there," he says.
Tonight, the Club, which wanted to emulate a "secret society" will host a runway show in New York to celebrate the fabric. A corduroy bikini will be showcased. Really? When I think of corduroy, I don't tend to think of beachwear. We'll see if this registers on the fashion pages this weekend.
Retest because I did not see the first one
