Corduroy suit suggestions
Hi everyone,
I was thinking of getting a corduroy suit and I thought I could get some help on color, wale and other stylistic details for the suit.
I was leaning towards dark brown or navy with a medium to wide wale, flat front trousers and normal, flap pockets. Maybe a fun lining in the jacket?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Re: Corduroy suit suggestions
I would go for something similar to what James Coburn wore in 'Sciarade': tan, very thin wale, 3 buttons, single vent (but also double would be fine), flapped besom pockets and of course flat-fronted, slim trousers.
Nice touch a fun lining!

Re: Corduroy suit suggestions
I wouldnt mind a burnt orange one meself. Any shade of brown really, olive, navy. Corduroy looks good in a lot of shades.
Make it standard in details its too bulky a fabric to start adding too many layers. And I agree about flat front trousers, although apleated one is not necessarily a bad thing. I havent had one in a while and Ive been thinking of one as well. Maybe a chocolate brown in a wide wale. I like the patterned lining idea too.

I would add stone and sand to the colors already mentioned. As for material, I've seen some cotton/cashmere blends that have a wonderful hand. I don't think that I would go wider than 6W.

Perhaps even a double-breasted would look nice.
