Corduroy is usually cut casually, and it is not obvious why. The fabric takes a crease, holds a line and has enough body for tailoring - all this pair does is treat it the way a suiting cloth would be treated.
So there are proper welt pockets set into the front rather than patched on, a concealed fly under a single waistband button, and a leg cut wide and straight to a full-length hem. The wale is broad enough to read clearly from a distance, and the pile catches light differently depending on which way the leg turns.
They are the trousers that make corduroy look like a deliberate choice rather than a comfortable one.
