Problems with cords
I once yearned for a green pair, made by Levis. I think I once saw a picture of Otis Redding wearing some. I should have consulted somebody before now, and RS's descriptions of those worn by the Simons/Strachan/Lally axis has made me increasingly envious. I have a pair of Paul Stuart in a kind of muddy green that should be my Amazing Buy No. 2 - another workhorse, look fine with the olive green slack - but the Vineyard Vines turned out to be a disaster. The Bill's I own are good for the winter months, being hefty as fuck, but they're terrifically inelegant. I've heard Bean's are okay. Anyone?

Re: Problems with cords
I have some moss green 5 pocket bedford levis that Im fond of. They look good with a chambray bd and steel blue italian dessies & navy sack.
I have other levis in fawn, tobacco etc, I like. But there all from stateside trips.

Re: Problems with cords
The problem with cords is the noise and texture.

Re: Problems with cords
From October to March I wear little else beyond a navy corduroy Ivy suit from J.Simons, a charcoal grey roll neck and a pair of natural Clarks desert boots. Undies and socks too of course. I consider corduroy the most Ivy of all the materials. The right cord jacket or shirt or pair of trousers, well, they're the Holy Grail aren't they? J.Keydge produce some crackers but then France has always been the home of the finest cord-du-roi, ce n'est-pas?
