I love super wide wale corduroy. This pair stunlocks me https://shop.colbo.nyc/products/double-pleat-pants-corduroy-colbo?srsltid=AfmBOoqywjSqgJccgxwe7LOLP43JObdng07NhdpMmtq5ySvsOTSlrAeu&variant=43858534990072. I found some vintage issey that is fairly wide but not quite as perfect as the colbo pair. I believe Beans owns these.

Today I'm wearing some Merely Made corduroy in a grid pattern instead of vertical wales. Not sure if there's a specific name for this style or not

I love corduroy. Darker palette for fall and winter, and you can introduce some lighter colors early spring/late summer. I used to have more pairs and colors back in the slim days and am slowly reintroducing wider pairs into my current wardrobe. They just pair so well with wool sweaters and evoke a very cozy feeling for me when it's cold out. And the texture's fun - sometimes when I'm needing a stimulation I'll just scratch my pants lmao.

I should clarify that my "slim" corduroy back then was closer to skinny. :xdcrying: I think they were Bonobos pre-Walmart in their skinniest fit.

Corduroy is great. I used to have a lot of it but for some reason I passed a lot of it on. Things I love about corduroy not mentioned yet: -Drapes pretty well for cotton. -Works pretty well in vibrant colours -Wide whale corduroy has a bit of a sheen, adding visual interest. I will eventually need to hunt for a very casual two piece set (i.e. Sherpa Trucker jacket + 5 pocket trouser or something like that) in corduroy. What I don't love about corduroy is how relatively tricky it is to pull off double corduroy. Double denim is much easier imo

I've only owned cord pants but I've been into the idea of a jacket for a bit, I just don't see too many options a lot of the time Green corduroy has been like 90% of my involvement. But I had like texture issues with it for a while where it would just like evaporate in certain spots or something. No idea what it was about

The pants are all Polo Ralph Lauren Andrews

❤️ my Andrews cords. I feel like corduroy trucker jackets deserve a mention here too.
