We only noted corduroy being used for two garments, lumber jackets sometimes called jerkins and trousers. A few schools had uniform made up of matching corduroy lumber jackets and trousers, usually short trousers. More common were schools that just used corduroy for the trousers, both short and long trousers. We noted most schools used corduroy for short trousers, but there were several schools that had cord long trousers as well. At some schools short and long trousers were worn seasonally. At other schools they were optional asnd up to the children to choose. The short cord trousers were just for the boys, but we noted a few coed schools let the girls wear cord longs during the winter term.
