Best Corduroy Trousers UK | British Cord Trousers

Fabric Composition for your Corduroy Trousers

When it comes to buying the best corduroy trousers there are only two compositions to consider; either 100% cotton or 97% cotton with 3% elastane. If you are looking to buy the best corduroy trousers then avoid any composition that includes polyester as this will reduce the breathability of the trousers.

We source our cloth from Yorkshire Mill Brisbane Moss who are known internationally for both their corduroy and moleskin fabrics. Our standard in stock corduroy trousers are the cotton and elastane blend which offer an extra level of comfort that cannot be achieved with 100% cotton. You will find the trousers stretch in just the right places. Further this elastane is particularly important for men who prefer a slim leg cut as the cloth will stretch nicely around your calves. With the heavier weight cloths they are 100% cotton which is better suited for gentlemen who are seeking a more classic cut with a focus on warmth.

Wales

The number of wales refers to the number of vertical ridges in the fabric. The wales are made so that clear lines can be seen when they are cut into the pile. Again the number of wales varies considerably between cloths. Our in stock corduroy is the fine 16 wale but for those seeking a different number, we have access to a wide selection including as low as 8.

Other Materials used in our Corduroy Trousers or Pants

In addition to using the best corduroy cloth, we spare no expense in using only the finest materials to finish each pair of trousers. This includes using the best shirting fabrics for the interior pockets and waist lining along with a YKK zip for the front fly and polished buffalo horn buttons. The buttons are indestructible and far better than plastic alternatives.

Fit of your Cords

Fit is without doubt the most important aspect to any pair of trousers you buy and for many men the hardest part when finding the perfect corduroy trousers. Realising this issue was a major problem we launched create your own chinos back in 2018 which was an overnight success. We took the foundations of in house tailoring alongside made to measure and offered it online. Customers can choose from a wide selection of waist and inside leg options including odd sizes. In addition we offer three leg builds; slim, medium and classic to cater for all preferences. In total we offer 200 unique combinations per colour. After the success of the chinos we rolled out the same service for our moleskin trousers , corduroy trousers and most recently men’s denim jeans.

Like made to measure the success in getting the right fit comes from accurate measurements. We recommend you measure your own waist or a pair of trousers you own. Do not assume the current trousers you are wearing has the correct size label in it as many brands are actively involved in vanity sizing.

Origin of manufacturing

While there are many factories around the world that can make corduroy trousers, the differences in finish and quality vary considerably. It often comes down to certain steps during the production process which you don’t necessarily see on the final trousers. If these steps are missed to save time and keep production costs down, they often have the biggest impact on the longevity of the trousers.

All our trousers, chinos and jeans are hand cut and made to order at our Suffolk Factory in England. That is how we are able to offer men such a high level of customisation to get the best possible fit. Further our trousers also follow a production process with many extra steps that lead to double or triple stitches to reinforce those seams that are under the most stress. While this increases production costs it ensures that the trousers will last the test of time and is the same philosophy we have for all our British made clothing.

Sustainability and Size

It is well known that the fast fashion industry does enormous harm to the environment, particularly oil based fabrics and single use garments. Here at WISC we make classic garments that are built to last from natural fabrics to help minimise our impact. They are designed to be worn again and again without losing their shape or appearance. Multiple use also means that they become value for money. We also make most of our products to order so that unwanted stock is never a feature. Size is also a factor in sustainability. If clothes fit well they will be used a lot and the issue of returns for ill fitting garments becomes redundant. We stress this on our site and in addition to an extensive detailed size guide, we offer a special ‘design your own trouser’ section for this very reason. If you generally purchase off the peg chinos for example and try to make them fit, why not visit our website with your measurements and we will make you a pair. Going forward we continue to look at ways of improving our sustainability credentials still further
