Green Corduroy Trousers - Your views

[Flashman]

Gents,

I was in mind to purchase a pair of (racing) green corduroy trouser - but the other half was not too keen and i put them down. She felt they were too 'old' for oneself at almost 35 this year.
I do own a rather smart (dark) brown cord casual suit, which i wore and looked rather snazzy in during my graduation a couple of years ago.

As a fully subscribed 'english gent' i rather feel that this autumnal color and warm fabric would look very nice with my 'Barbour' jackets. Still, i plan to purchase them anyway and i have noticed in the Barbour brochure the model wore them with great aplomb.

Please advice and give me your views.

FYI - i am soon to be 35, 5 7", average build, conservative dresser, 3 piece suits during working week with matching tie and hankie etc, so you get the picture hopefully always with white shirt. During the weekends i favour the standard 'blue' Van Heusen shirt of which i have half a dozen of the same color.


Please share your thoughts.

Go ahead. Though I would prefer an olive green to racing green, the trousers you intend to buy will go very well with a Barbour jacket. If you wear "city" greys and blues during the working week, the "earth tones" of greens and browns make a pleasant contrast at weekends.
I heartily endorse Tomasso's comment!

I have a pair in racing green from Hackett, and I think out of all my colourful cords (purple, red, yellow, light blue) they are the most versatile and I wear them an awful lot. I am also younger than you, so I wouldn't be fussed by the age thing!

My next pair will be burnt orange I believe.

A slight incorrect choice of word...replace 'racing' with 'olive' - i just realised the slight difference in the colors.

Thanks Jim. I just noticed my Barbour brochure has a pic of a pair similar to those i wanted - and the other half seems fine about them now.

In fact, all this talk about cords...I'm going to wear these today!

And dashing you look with it too...! I like the contrasting socks, have a few swanky colors of the same ilk myself!

Sounds great. Get a pair in orange and one in red while you're at it.

I have them. I like them. I wear them.

OK, one leg, green.

Second leg, her choice.

Without a pic they don't exist.

Apologies for inability to post pic - the site that advertises it seems NOT to be showing the color of the pair i want!
As soon as they fix it - i will post a pic.
