It is no secret that I love corduroy!
From warm hunting pants to western needlecord pearlsnap shirts to californian surfer shorts, you can wear corduroy in any situation. It is heavy enough to drape well, breathable despite the weight, and unfussy enough to machine wash despite being a variation of velvet.
Lets discuss corduroy!

I had a corduroy blazer that I really loved. I had to retire it a few years ago as the shoulder seams were coming apart.
Maybe I’ll replace it this year. Is there anyone making a decent brown corduroy blazer? I like the look of this one from Spier and Mackay: https://www.spierandmackay.com/product/product-detail/dark-brown-corduroy-unstructured-sportcoat
I’m very glad to hear you loved it until it was completely worn out!
That one you linked looks pretty good but I’d check your local thrift stores first, I always see a corduroy blazer or three floating around. If that doesn’t work I’d check ebay. Better for your wallet and the environment to buy used.
Edit: and also corduroy looks good beaten up a little. Ages nearly as well as jeans imho
