4-Wale
Out of the corner of your eye, you notice that the man thatching the roof of that sensational thick-walled cottage in Dorset isn’t merely wearing corduroy pants, but extra-wide-wale corduroy pants.
Aha! The Broadway director driving to work from Snedens Landing in his Aston Martin is wearing, naturally, very-wide-wale pants.
(Wales are the soft, velvety ribs of corduroy. The fewer the wales per inch, the wider they are; the wider they are, the more handsome. Why? God works in mysterious ways.)
I had to go to some lengths to find 4-wale corduroy and am pretty confident that you will appreciate it when you see it and wear it. Lustrous and velvety, but thick and deep and bumpy. Very uncitified; striking just the right note of dressing down when worn with a contradictory upscale sports coat or vest.
4-Wale Cords (No. J1371). Pure cotton corduroy, the best. Unmatched rumple. Pleat front. Two on-seam side pockets lined in cotton. Two rear pockets, both buttoning. Dress-pant details including fully-constructed waistband. Zip front with metal trouser hook. No suspender buttons. Unfinished hem. Imported.
