As you already know, we're kinda averse to tailored clothing over here, but when you got amber wales of grain waves as wide as these Massimo Alba corduroys do, you get a free pass. Also, since they're carried at Carson Street, they get the friends and family Four Pins $Free.99 post discount. But be aware, I was forced to drink Stella in the CSC VIP section last week. Up your beer selection, bromeos. Anyway. We all know thin wale corduroy is super swagless—J.Crew outlet sort of shit. But wide wale? Well, that's an entirely new ballgame. We like our quarter roys very old school and '60s-like and just straight up looking like a fucking towel. But at what point do the wales stop being wales and become stripes? Like, if I wanted to make super wide wale corduroy and put them, day, I don't know, six inches apart from each other, does that still count? What if, like, the fluffy part was super wide and there was a teensy, tiny trench in it? Is that still wide wale corduroy? I need to know the answer to these semantics-related questions so I can start my new line of pieces with misplaced stripes and patterns, get offered to join the CFDA and ride enormous collabo contracts with PacSun and Gap until the cows come in.
