While we do like our high end brands, it’s always nice to have someone mistake your high street buys for more expensive pieces. So when we saw that Uniqlo had dropped some corduroy jeans, we had to get a closer look.
Firstly we should address the ‘no wale’ in the title. A wale is the raised line that run lengthwise down the corduroy. It’s this line that gives corduroy that ‘ribbed’ look that so many intrinsically link to corduroy. Uniqlo have decided to do away with this on these cords, hence the ‘no wale’ in title.
They’re a little lighter than the cords Uniqlo did last year, making them slightly more suited for early autumn wear. Coming in various colours at a grand total of £20, there’s really no reason for not giving at least one pair a go. (Uniqlo)

I thought it was the ridges which made them cords? It’s a shame that the Uniqlo site doesn’t show the clothes being modeled, I would like to see how these fit.
The ridges isn’t what makes them cords, it’s just that corduroy is usually manufactured so that they have ridges/wales.
Yeah, Uniqlo could improve in showing more pieces modeled, especially trousers. They’re slim fit so unless you’re particularly slim it’s advised to size up for a comfortable but still slim fit. I just got mine tapered a tiny bit, but that’s because I’m overly fussy about the break. You can easily wear these without doing anything to them though.
