    Corduroys

    Corduroy and wales

    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...
