Never mind the quality, check the stripes. A useful shortcut to knowing what's what.

Did you know that the word "rep" refers to the weave of the silk and not the repetition of the stripe nor the "reputation" associated with wearing a regimental or club tie?

Also, corduroy is an Anglicanization of "corde du roi" meaning cloth of the kind.

Is Repp American & Rep English, btw? Not that they're called Reps over here...
Also is it an Indian word?

Ta!

Ah oui - I like calling it "corde du roi" you know. Out loud, in French.
