Pants have seasons?! Freaky.

[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.

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.)

(I don't think there's a wale finer than fine, right?)
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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
what's lighter than fine-wale?
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.

Ooh, he can't just say "You said this job would be over by [date], and I have other work, wrap it up, and I'll be available on email"? Eesh. That doesn't seem worth it, giving up other paid jobs, you'd think they'd understnad that!
I dont' see why fall wear and spring wear can't be similar, given the similar temperatures. Especially if they're tan cords, why not?

Also, I apparently need to send ND an email about prepping for the next show at the colony.
