The Corduroy Jacket Guide for Men (2026)

Three new corduroy jackets from Adam & Westcott, three different collars, $49.98 to $64.98, all in XS to 3XL.

Last updated: September 2026

Pick a corduroy jacket by its collar: the Vintage Cord Jacket ($64.98) has a shirt collar and three pockets, the Cord Collar Jacket ($59.98) zips up to a contrast cord collar, and the Drawcord Collar Jacket ($49.98) buttons to a drawcord collar. All three are new this season at Adam & Westcott and all three run XS to 3XL. Corduroy is cloth woven with raised ridges, called wales, and that texture is why it looks at home in fall: it does the work, so the rest of the outfit can stay plain.

Which corduroy jacket should I buy?

Choose the $64.98 Harrington for the most pockets, the $59.98 chore jacket for a full zip, or the $49.98 trucker for the lowest price.

Jacket	Style	Closure	Pockets	Sizes	Colours	Price
Vintage Cord Jacket	Harrington, shirt collar, ribbed cuffs and hem	Zip	3: zipped chest, 2 snap-flap	XS to 3XL	4	$64.98
Cord Collar Jacket	Chore jacket, contrast cord collar	Full zip to the collar	2 large patch	XS to 3XL	3	$59.98
Drawcord Collar Jacket	Trucker, tall collar with drawcord	Buttons	2 buttoned chest	XS to 3XL	5	$49.98

The difference is mostly the collar and the pockets. The Harrington is the tidiest, with ribbed cuffs and hem that close it in at the wrist and waist. The chore jacket is the most practical, with two large patch pockets for a phone and keys. The trucker lets you pull the collar in at the neck on a windy morning.

What size corduroy jacket should I get?

Your usual jacket size: each of the three comes in seven sizes, XS to 3XL, and none publishes a chest chart, so buy by letter.

M, L and XL are carried on every one of the 79 jackets in the Adam & Westcott jackets collection, so your letter size translates across styles. If you plan to wear a chunky knit underneath most of the time, consider one size up. For how the letters compare across the store, read what size jacket should I buy.

What do you wear with a corduroy jacket?

A plain knit or tee underneath, slim trousers below, and a boot with some weight: for example a $44.99 pullover, $29.99 pants and $52.99 boots.

Keep everything else plain, because cord is already the texture. Over a tee in September, over a knit such as the Soft Waffle Pullover (S to 3XL, $44.99) in October. Below, dark denim or the Slim Stretch Casual Pants (waist 30 to 40, $29.99). On your feet, the Padded Collar Boot (US 6 to 14, $52.99) or a clean leather-look shoe. Cord trousers work too, as long as they are a different colour from the jacket.

The three jackets

Frequently asked questions

Is a corduroy jacket warm enough for fall?

All three Adam & Westcott cord jackets are described for cooler autumn days, so wear one alone in September and over a knit from October.

What size corduroy jacket should I buy?

Your usual jacket size. All three run XS to 3XL, seven sizes, and none publishes an inch chart, so buy by letter and size up one only if you layer a thick knit.

Can you wear a corduroy jacket with corduroy pants?

Only in two different colours; a matching cord top and bottom reads as a suit, not a jacket and trousers.

Which corduroy jacket is the cheapest?

The Drawcord Collar Jacket at $49.98, then the Cord Collar Jacket at $59.98 and the Vintage Cord Jacket at $64.98.

How do you care for a corduroy jacket?

Follow the care label inside the jacket, turn it inside out before washing, and brush the pile in one direction while it is damp.
