Tactile Outerwear: The Corduroy Jacket Is This Season’s Must-Own Piece
A few years ago, if you had wanted the world to know that you were a geography teacher, a good place to start would have been investing in corduroy. This wavy fabric has had a difficult relationship with menswear in the past, but today the way it is viewed from a style perspective is shifting.
What was when a hallmark of the clinically inelegant is now
a hallmark of smart style, especially when worn as outerwear. To proudly wear a
corduroy jacket is to master the textured dressing.
The corduroy jacket is a hero of the modern wardrobe.
Tactile, stylish, and
with just the right amount of quirk, it's a great way to add depth to an
unpretentious ensemble. We are of the opinion that no one should be without one
of these in their layer rotation, so let us provide you with all the
information you need before you get started.

Considerations for buying a corduroy jacket
Adjust
First of all: if a jacket doesn't fit like a glove,
everything else doesn't matter. No matter how much you spend or whose name is
sewn on the neck, if that part is not perfect, it will be for naught. The
length and fit will largely depend on the style of the jacket (see below), but
the arm seams should always be on the edge of the shoulders and you should be
able to comfortably button or close without breathing. When in doubt, visit
your local tailor.
Colour
The temptation with corduroy is to stick with earthy and
autumn tones. While there is nothing wrong with that, lacing works great on
browns and greens, sometimes it's nice to stray from the norm. Try wearing
corduroy as another way to make a fashion piece stand out. Yellow, red, and
royal blue can look great when paired with a clean outfit. Or, when in doubt,
go for navy blue, black, and gray for the ultimate in versatility.
Accompaniment
Unlined, fine corduroy classics like trucker jackets and
overshirts make great transitional garments. However, when the weather calls
for something a little more substantial, you may want to consider a little more
volume. Think about how you would like to wear this jacket. Will it work as an
outer layer? Or would you rather have the option of stacking other garments on
top? These questions will determine whether you choose a winter jacket with or
without an insulated lining.
Style
The most important consideration after fitting is style.
There are many types of corduroy outerwear available, from short and square to
long and low to the knees. Once again, think about how you will wear your corduroy
jacket and what final look you want to achieve. Some silhouettes are also more
versatile than others, so if cost per garment is a big selling point for you,
then a good all-rounder like a drawstring overshirt might be the best option.

So, you are convinced that you need to add corduroy to your
wardrobe this season, but what kind of jacket is right for you? Here's our
handy cheat sheet for the five outerwear silhouettes to consider.
Overshirt
We could insist on the merits of a good all-day overshirt,
but let's keep it short: it's a year-round, every-day essential, and no one
garment offers more versatility.
Because you need it ?
You probably already have at least some overshirts, but they
are less likely to be corduroy. This tactile element breathes new life into one
of the iconic pieces of men's fashion. An absolute must to spice up your daily
style.

It would probably be quicker to list the ways it shouldn't
be designed, of which there are few. However, as a overall rule of thumb, avoid
double corduroy pants and you'll be fine.

Truck driver
Originally cut from denim by Levi Strauss over 150 years
ago, this short style works equally well with corduroy. With flap pockets to
the chest, stitching to the front, and button / snap closure, that's the
definition of simple yet effective.
Because you need it
Simply put, the trucker jacket, corduroy or otherwise, and
