Thoughts on corduroy pants for fall and winter, and which colors work best?

Of cotton trousers, corduroy drapes the best imo. For some reason most places taper their cords an unreasonable amount and include spandex or polyester. This actually makes them harder to find new than other trousers.

The best colour is dark brown, followed by dark olive greens. Tan is arguably as useful but they just end up looking like seasonal chinos. Jewel tones come across as extremely dandy to my eye, so if you’re asking about colour they’re probably not for you. Pleats are better than flat front (no you don’t need to put creases in pleated cotton pants).
