When I Was Growing Up, All The Real Men Wore Corduroy

[KyokushinKarateMan]

Cue all the jokes about me being

Corduroy is a material/style that was a staple of my childhood. Not because I owned any(it was expensive for back then!), but because every man that I looked up to back then also happen to own at least one corduroy pants/jacket/outfit.

My pops was the corduroy king(as far as in my family). He had 2 bad ass corduroy outfits he would mix and match and have me and my brothers like .. my oldest brother and my uncles used to wear it as well.

And I know it's funny to yall now in these days and times but back then corduroy was THEEE sh*t. If you were a single man out on the town in some corduroy pants or with a corduroy jacket on, you was gonna eat that night. Don't fk around and have an entire outfit and nice pair of shoes to match

What yall know about that roy

Left: 60s 70s style roy fits, Right: 80s, the style that raised me

80s style roy fits

When I think back, all the men I looked up to as a child wore corduroy back then. I'm going to be adding some modern day roy-wear to my wardrobe soon. Something along these lines

My last pair was some grayish green corduroys, and a nikka stole them from me.

I crashed at his place when I was in town visiting my girl (before we got married, she stayed with her parents and they wouldn't let me stay there) and I somehow left my corduroys at this nikkas house.

Weirdo nikka and I talked a few days later and he tells me, "thanks for the pants, man. They fit great "

I was like cause this weirdo fool was dead serious too. Looking back on it, he must have been on the spectrum cause of all the weird mess I saw him do.

After he was wearing them, I hit the those was his pants at that point.

Haven't owned a pair of corduroys since then. My brother clowns me for that to this day cause I let that clown deebo me for my pants.

A chick bought me the exact pair of corduroy burgundy jeans in the op. I tried them on, looked in the mirror, and thought to myself, “you looking real West Hollywood, my nikka “ and I never put them on again.


That don't have shyt to do with this but I just thought that I should mention.

Facts OP. Folks don’t know how dripped out it was in the 80’s. I channel the style from that era all the time. Old school sheepskin coat, a bucket or an old school Kangol, cords, dope high quality vintage sweater, the right fresh kicks you killing the game. Old man drip>>>. Supreme bogo hoodies don’t move me.

Old school Gucci 1984’s with green cords would be money
