    Wide wale corduroy

    Does anyone know where I can get quality, cotton corduroy fabric with a wale of 3 or less, please?

    Corduroys

    I always enjoy cords, especially the chunky ones in colder weather, but they have to be the heavier cloth for me - I'm not a fan of skinny cords.

    Corduroy and wales

    The widest wale I have found available to a tailor is 5 wales per inch. I think anything lower than 5 wale is considered a "furnishing fabric" although you might find 4 wale if you are lucky. I much prefer the wider wale corduroy and would wear 1 wale corduroy trousers but that isn't going to...

    Cordoroy suit still in style?

    Great post, epa. My suit was bespoke and cost over 500 pounds so it's good quality and (still) a good fit. I save it for theatre, opera and special occasions so it's still in good condition and the trousers show little sign of departing from the jacket. I agree that a well-fitted suit makes a...
