Brown Corduroys are hard wearing, reasonably smart, usually have good pockets for keeping things in (very useful when fishing), generally cut on the roomy side - a big plus in my book, water resistant up to a point and easy to clean.

But for me the best point about them is they disguise any embarrassment when catching large fish on an expensive Cane Roach Rod..... :Hat:

A good purchase Mark.

Might I enquire if you are you going Carp Fishing then?

As ever,......

I wear them for work,then my old work clothes become my fishing clothes.
I get them from marks and spencers,blue harbour label.They have a good range of colours and they are not too baggy,green being my favourite.

They'll wonder why there's been such a rush of sales all of a sudden I may get another pair if these are what I want
Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish

Today I also treated myself to a pair of new brown leather brogue boots, to go with me new cords.

Can't go wrong with the "cloth of the king": though I did once have a corduroy covered office chair and occasionally the cord in my trousers and the chair would "lock" and I'd have to unzip myself in an undignified manner!
