It’s hard to say what’s more omnipresent right now: corduroy or A Star Is Born memes. The former, for its part, has firmly established itself as the definitive trouser fabric for fall. It’s showing up on the backs of our finest leading men and our most talented directors—to say nothing of our greatest living Goldblums.

Deployed in the form of a shirt or a jacket—or, better yet, a shirt jacket—it’s as useful a mid-layer as they come, delivering a subtle hit of texture and elevating everything around it like an André 3000 guest verse.
