[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
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.

I agree with the Empress.
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.
Pants have seasons?! Freaky.
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.

Nothing really. If the color's lighter (like you described) I would say wear em until it's Too Damned Hot. I wear my light chocolate brown ones on cool summer nights, but they are sooper-FOINE wale.
But doesn't corduroy do that "woosh-woosh" thing? Grade school traumas are not easily put behind.
