Is it ok to wear cordrouy jeans?

[Bob Buzzard]

I want to get some blue corduroy jeans but my wife says they're not very cool - I disagree as I think they're quite hip, so I might get them still anyway. What would others do? I generally like to be on trend.

[TheArtfulDogger]

I think just by needing to ask the question, it shows how uncool they are unless they are farmer Giles style dungarees

[Bob Buzzard]

But I've seen them in Oliver Bonas - is ?120 too much?

[DulwichFox]

I used to wear couduroy jeans in the late 70's early 80's.

If you like Cords.. Go for it.. who cares what other people think. ?

?25.00 from M&S

Grow a stupid looking beard, add some red braces and some NHS style glasses and I think you'll be welcome with open arms up Islington way.

[Bob Buzzard]

No, not Islington, I'm definitely an ED person, both geographically and spiritually.

Sorted out your builder yet Bob ?

This season is all about old skool, hard-wearing denim. Out with the stretch Lycra mix, in with the chafed thighs.

Take your wife down Memory Lane by making it double denim, with authentic vintage touches such as Converse hi-tops and Sony foamy headphones secured by an uncomfortable thin strip of steel.

Cords are already back in the Geography Teacher style camp I'm afraid. Only wear them if you really can't afford a vasectomy.

Hope that helps.

Corduroy is coming back into fashion. Primark have got it in.

[Pugwash]

Cords are cool! Love a man in a pair of good fitting cords - fortunately my husband likes them as well.

Go the whole hog and get a matching corduroy jacket as well.

[uncleglen]

Just make sure you wear a tweed jacket with leather elbow patches...

[maxxi]

I just bought a corduroy shirt (light not jumbo) from a 'vintage' gaff for under ?20 - Brown no less! It is loose, comfy, warm and definitely cool.

[Earl Aelfheah]

I have a pair of cords. Didn't realise they were so controversial.

[Bob Buzzard]

Sorry - just realised they are actually needlecord not cordrouy - that's a bit different. So are navy blue needlecord jeans ok or not?

[Seabag]

Needle cord has always been fine Bob, what's up with ya!

Next you'll be questioning "Earl Grey tea, is that ok still?"

Ps. DO was the trousers/jeans inside out, as nothing worse than that marbled effect.

[Bob Buzzard]

Thank you for that reassurance

And don't forget your pipe and the inane ability to talk randomly about nuclear fission being the saviour of humanity and solving the global energy crisis ...

Get a grip Bob and don't be dictated to by the chain stores, be your own man just like your mother was 😳

[miga]

Cords are classics, just like Cons, blue jeans or cotton t shirts. That's why you could always get all these items from any high street chain. All these items have versions at all price points.

[red devil]

Agree, cord has always been out there, high end to high street, it's a wardrobe classic...

[Bob Buzzard]

I'm going to Oliver Bonas now - I hope they still have my size.

[JohnL]

You won't be able to get classic fit mind, slim fit only these days (or some call it tailored fit)

[Earl Aelfheah]

High waisted, regular/relaxed cut are 'the fashion' I believe (not that I would really know, but seems to be what the 'kids' are wearing). Skinny fit more for the late 30's/early 40s brigade (so perhaps a bit more ED).

[JohnL]

Maybe I should check again - slim/skinny doesn't feel good on me :)

[Bob Buzzard]

I'm looking so cool walking down LL - definitely on trend now

[Keefe]

For sure Mr Buzzard. It's called "Dadcore" so I'm told by The Young People. Women will swoon.
