"Each season (and each guy) has these pants. The heavy rotators, the first to rescue in a fire, the ones that always make it into the weekend duffel. In spring, mine is a pair of light-wash Dad jeans of medium value. In summer, linen fatigues."
"Corduroy, like many of our modern menswear building blocks, has a long history in workwear. An early precursor of the fabric came from ancient Egypt, where ancient weavers wove durable cotton on the banks of the Nile into a simple fabric called fustian. But it wasn't until 19th-century England, in Manchester, that the fabric took on its current signature: the wales."
Many people default to a single reliable pair of pants each season, wearing them repeatedly for comfort and practicality. Seasonal staples differ: light-wash dad jeans in spring, linen fatigues in summer, and navy corduroys in fall and winter. Corduroy offers warmth and a tactile, ridged texture that suits colder months. The fabric evolved from ancient Egyptian fustian and gained its signature wales in 19th-century Manchester. Wales vary from pincords to wide-wale "elephant wales." Corduroy shifted from working-class workwear into broader style realms including Western, Ivy, bohemian, aristocratic, and cinematic costume use.
