I think I should like to purchase a pair of red corduroy trousers but I'm not sure what the minimum income or level of poshness is before I can do so safely, I'm assuming it's in the region of 150k and a decent fee-paying schooling, but hopefully I can get in with minimum wage and the university of hard-knocks. I'm not so daft as to believe I can carry-off a quilted Barbour jacket. Is anyone here rich or posh enough?

I believe it is law that to be able to purchase such a garment, you will first have to first prove you are a jazz musician. Or possibly a 70's porn star. Or both.

Perhaps ease yourself in gently by purchasing a pair of chino's?

With your innate style, you could easily manage red corduroy trousers but are you ready to handle the green wellies that go with them?
By:

More of an inmate style, unfortunately.

No, the ulster accent has an explosion at the end. Or a kneecapping.

I have a pair or red corduroys which I enjoy wearing. Don't worry about poshness or how much money. Go well with your Barbour.

how would you describe your accent? and do you talk differently while you are wearing them?
By:

I forgot to add you can get them at a Menswear shops. (Google it to find nearest one to you?)

Should I need to pass wind while in the bath, I ALWAYS stand up. I do however, find Red cordoroy slack somewhat bourgoise. Those of a mustard hue are eminently superior.

If it's any help I'm common as muck, but managed to carry off a pair of red velvet flares in the 70s no problem. ;)

Yet perversely, gravy cords don't quite cut the mustard

Mustard cords can only really be carried off by mature students and disheveled teachers and must be accompanied by a jacket with leather patches on the elbows.

They should also be as baggy as MC Hammer's dancing trousers lest the wearer suffer Jarvis**ering of the image.

You have to be a pipe smoker or look like a pipe smoker to wear mustard cords

I have to say I favour mustard cords with a hacking jacket and a pair of brown brogues
By:

Def mustard cords are the way forward.
