It’s time to give your denim time to breathe and get some Cords. Corduroy is a comfortable and durable cloth. The material is also used in the construction of (sport) jackets and shirts. The width of the cord is commonly referred to as the size of the wale. The lower the “wale” number, the thicker the width of the wale (i.e., 4-wale is much thicker than 11-wale). Wide wale is more commonly found on trousers; medium, narrow, and fine wale fabrics are usually found in garments used above the waist. In the past, clothes made from corduroy are considered casual and are usually favored in colder climates, but you know fashion; its all about the personality. Below is a list of some great fitting trousers.

Man, there’s nothing more comfortable to wear towards the end of the Summer season than a pre washed button-down (other than a summer cashmere sweater, but that’s a whole nother post). This week I chose the Pre-washed button down because its classic and casual and feel good on the weekends and on those days you don’t want to wrap on the tie. Below are a few shirts I checked out while looking for the right fit. Throw it on with some jeans tucked out by day, and tuck them in and throw on a jacket by night.
J. Crew
A signature collection for naval wear. Looking for a nice shirt at the last second for a beach party? Walk into any J. Crew store and in 5 mins flat and walk right out with what you came for. They have a great full selection of worn-in clothing from blazers and Polo’s to trousers to cut off chino’s. Not to mention the right accessories to match. The shirts have a great slim fit with a smidgen of extra room in the chest area for you bench pressers. I’d even go as far to say grab a linen shirt while your at it.
Ralph Lauren
What can I say if you want great quality shirt at a good price R.L. is the collection you can depend on. Another plus is that R.L. Has big sizes.
