I'd like to attend, but don't know if I'll be able to make it.

Coincidentally, the first HY corduroy pants will be available the week of 11/11

I will be speaking in support of corduroy and against its natural enemy, velvet.

I love the idea of the Corduroy Appreciation Club, except their extreme stance regarding velvet. I can't pay dues to an organization engaged in such untoward partisanship.

After all, what is velvet but monowale corduroy?

Exactly! It's not the size of the wale, but the... texture?

If my lifestyle were only so glamorous. No, I'm just a skeptic who thinks that this corduroy-vs-velvet nonsense is a ruse concocted by the powers that be to distract us from the real crimes against sartoria: ubiquitous sportswear, corrected-grain leather, and general douchebaggery.

Mark your calendars -- 11 │ 11 │ 11 will be the date which most closely resembles corduroy... EVER.

The dorkiness is just a little bit too powerful. It borders on embarassing IMO.
