A 14-wale cord is just about the most versatile thing you can wear in cooler weather: with a sport coat, you'll look pulled-together… but you can really dial it back with a casual shirt and boots. Think of them like a stepped-up version of jeans. (Though, for the record, we endorse corduroys in any weather.) Just like all of our Slim Straights, the shape riffs on two other longtime favorites: think Levi's 501®s with more taper, APC New Standards with more room in the rise, and slimmer than both from the knee down. There's also blue oxford pocketing, a zip fly, brass rivets, chain-stitched hems, and clean, unbranded back pockets.
