Favorite Classic Corduroy Pants?
What are you favorite classic corduroy pants? I have a nice pair of J.Crew 770 five-pocket corduroy pants I got via eBay, but I'm hoping to get something more classic for a second pair. I'm in the US and willing to spend up to ~$200 for a new pair or <$100 for a used pair.
Preferences
- Flat front, not pleated
- Wider wale (i.e. 8-12 wale)
- Classic fit, so not too slim, but not relaxed/baggy
- Prefer to not have a permanent crease, so more of a casual pant style than a trouser style
Budget
- Used: <$100 via eBay
- New: Up to ~$200, though would prefer <$150
Things I'm considering
J.Crew Classic 10-Wale Corduroy Pant (https://www.jcrew.com/p/mens/categories/clothing/pants-and-chinos/corduroy/CB491)
- These look pretty good at $118, but I don't love the colors that much and they are not currently on any discount. I typically try to get at least 40% off J.Crew MSRP.
Freenote Cloth Deck Pant Corduroy (https://freenotecloth.com/products/deck-pant-olive-corduroy)
- I love Freenote, and their Deck Pants fit me great, but these are $300 and not on sale anywhere.
RRL Indigo Corduroy Pant (https://www.ralphlauren.com/men-clothing-pants/indigo-corduroy-pant/648399.html)
- These are $445, but I can get for 50% via my sister in law who works for RRL
PRL Stretch Straight Fit Corduroy Pant (https://www.ralphlauren.com/men-clothing-pants/stretch-straight-fit-corduroy-pant/625701.html)
- These are $125, and I can get for 50%, but I'd be concerned about quality frankly.
I also looked at Todd Snyder and Spier & Mackay, but didn't see what I was looking for.
Let me know if you've got any ideas. Thanks!

The PRL pants will be fine. RRL isn't miles above them in terms of construction.
I like the freenote too, I have one pants at tailor from freenote now. But it is not in your budget!
I have brown cordroy from levi, not a fancy brand. But in your budget may look good to you
Awesome, which Freenote pants are you getting tailored? I’ve been wearing a ton of their chinos and denim lately, but have been able to find for at least 30-40% off, so always less than $200.
The modesto pants, it was my first freenote pants. Getting tailored, should have got slimmer legged pants
