And, now that I see I've posted trivialities in the middle of Kristin and ND getting screwed by the Mouse, let me just say:
Fucking mouse.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Corduroy pants: only for fall/winter? Okay for spring as well? Does the answer depend on whether the cords are wide-wale or fine-wale?
Ok for spring if the color and weight are lighter than your normal corduroy.

My "normal" corduroy is a fine-wale tan color; does that mean I would have to wear white supah-fine-wale?
(I don't think there's a wale finer than fine, right?)
(Man, that's a weird question.)

Color? I pretty much always wear black pants. Is that bad?

Tep, never apologize for trivialities. Trivial away, my friend.

Yes, but -- what's lighter than fine-wale?
I feel like the rule should be: once it's appropriate to wear linen, you must stop wearing corduroy, and vice versa.
But I don't know that such a rule exists. I feel that I'm approaching a 3-month corduroy-to-linen gap.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
As an admitted fashion heathen, I'd say corduroy season lasts until right before "dude, aren't you too hot in that?" season begins.
(And I've heard of both narrow-wale and pin-wale corduroys, as well as those described by # of wales/inch, but I'm not sure if there's a real standard of fineness for the named ones or if they're all just fancy marketing terms.)

Wale is actually given in numbers. The higher the number, the finer the wale. (So 16 wale is fine, but 21 wale is finer.)

Depends on the air conditioning. Some movie theaters in summer require thermal underwear. Corduroy would be an acceptable substitute, even in July.
