#254 Italian Brushed Corduroy - Graphite

Note: We recommend going up one size in this fabric.

Corduroy is classic, there's no arguing it. It's been used for centuries and despite the vagaries of the fashion cycle, it never goes away. We've come to appreciate Italy for bringing a unique touch to any fabric it takes on, from shirting to selvedge. This corduroy is the latest example. It starts with a 9 ounce weight. It's a true sweet spot. Heavy enough to last, light enough to be usable. The wale count really defines the look of a corduroy. 18 wales on these means you get the classic depth from the vertical channels without them being overbearing. Rugged or refined, 18 wale can go either way. A truly nice touch is the brushed top, which creates a slightly shaggy look and feel. Finally, great color is something Italy always brings - a metallic grey in this case. It's all here and done well.
