Some Notable Vintage Corduroy on Ebay.com
As a service to the Corduroy wearing population of the world, we shall on occasion make note of some particularly stunning Corduroy items that are for sale. In this case, these four vintage items show us that contemporary Corduroy really is less wonderful than yester yore Corduroy. Of course, all Corduroy is still wonderful…. There are two women’s items and two men’s items. Collectively the theme here is “color.” Corduroy really can grab hold of color, can’t it! Without further prattle:
NOTE: The Corduroy Appreciation Club has no connection, no business and no incentive to post these auctions other than to showcase some fine Corduroy and educate our dear members.
Corduroy Stretch CAT Suit Jumpsuit
This will surely send the blogosphere into hysterics, but this orange CAT Suit jumpsuit offered by seller vampofvintage is the type clothing that makes me want to become a woman. If I had this thing I would wear it everyday and I would be unstoppable. Act fast, there’s already one bid! It’s up to $24.99. Link.
Bright Sky Blue 3 piece HAGGAR Corduroy Suit
I’m tempted to not even post this beaut, as I may want it. It’s currently for sale at $59.95. A real steal! Only problem is, the incredible success and wealth which The Corduroy Appreciation Club has brought has made me a bit too corpulent for this blue baby! But, heck, maybe this is the motivation I need to get myself to the gym and to quit eating bags of Ruffles (the Official Potato Chip of The Corduroy Appreciation Club) . Back to the matter, at hand, this suit is beautiful. This is clearly an off-the-rack suit, why can we not return to such days? Link.
Funky Orange Corduroy Suit 1970′S
This orange piece is a bit less catty and a bit more disco than the first. Although it seems even I might be tempted not to wear Corduroy to a disco during the days of disco. It just seems you’d want something with a little more give, you know? Something with less friction to enable splits and spins. Anyway. You get the point. This piece is not an auction item, but a “Buy it Now” listed for $125.00. You have until 8:40 PDT on Sept. 24 to get it. Not sure what the shipping charge will be as it is coming from A Purrfect World, USA. I’m not familiar. Link
70s MOD corduroy 3pc hand-crafted suit 42 R
Here is another gem I’m tempted to keep to myself. (This one would fit. This is my size, by the way, in case anyone wants to send me a sample….) Except I already have one just like it. I call it “Rusty.” This one looks like it’s in tiptop shape! I love the collar. In my mind, this is a classic Corduroy suit. There are 5 bids on this suit. It is currently at $18.88. Link.
