King Cord Overshirt / Gold

HebTroCo

£125

All hail the king of cord. Golden like the setting sun. This hefty overshirt is no lightweight. Clean design bursting with functionality. Enormous side seam and inside “bag for life” pockets. Designed on our Calderdale cutting table. Cut and sewn for us in North London. There is debate about the origins of the word “corduroy”. Some argue that it comes from the French term “corde du roi” – cloth of the king – while others protest that its true roots lie on our side of the channel in 18th century British textiles. As far as we’re concerned, it was invented in Yorkshire, so everyone else can step

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as HEBTROCO LTD, number 09958194. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
