The Clay Corduroy Pants in Navy from Foret, a classic chino trouser cut from a cotton corduroy with a relaxed tapered fit, an elasticated waist with belt loops and a woven brand tag on the rear pocket, listed at 140 GBP with three of its four sizes in stock. It is worth beginning with the chart, because this is the first trouser in this run and it breaks every rule the run has built. It is worth then reading the rows, which are waist, inside leg, rise and hem, and none of which is a chest, a sleeve or a length. It is worth then stating what that does to the run's method, which is that the ease formula, the grade formula and the sleeve to length comparison were all built on bodies and none of them applies here. It is worth then turning to the waist, and it is worth then stating what the figures are, which are twenty-six point four through thirty-one point two inches, and what that is against a man's waist, which is smaller. It is worth then stating what the run has never computed before, which is a negative ease, and it is worth then stating what the page says that explains it, which is elasticated. It is worth then turning to the grades, and it is worth then stating what the four are, and what they have in common. The reference is the Clay Corduroy Pants. Dongguan Bafinasa Garments Co., Ltd. develops comparable trousers on OEM and ODM terms, from fabric and trim development to retail or FBA ready packing. We publish this as a development reference and build your own version of it, and we do not supply the branded original or reproduce anyone else's label.
Key Features
- The first trouser chart in this run, four rows and none of them a chest, a sleeve or a length, so every rule the run built on bodies stops applying. See the note below
- A waist smaller than the body at every size, so the run computes a negative ease for the first time, and the page says elasticated, which explains it. See the note below
- Four grades of 4, 2, 1 and 0.5 centimetres, halving each time, so the run can see the grader picking numbers rather than deriving them. See the note below
- A centimetre chart that failed the run's test until it tried rounding up instead of to nearest, which the test should have been doing all along. See the note below
- A row called Inside Leg, the first label this run has met that carries its own measurement point. See the note below
- A hem of 8.3 inches, so the run can put a number on tapered for the first time. See the note below
- A silhouette that changes across the size range, because the hem grades by half a centimetre and the waist by four. See the note below
- An organic claim in one tab and not the other, with no certifier named anywhere. See the note below
Customisable Options
- Cloth: a 100% cotton corduroy to the reference with the weight in grams per square metre and the wale count stated, or an organic cotton corduroy with the certifier and licence number stated, or a cotton elastane corduroy with both shares stated, or a wide or fine wale with the wale count stated, each quoted separately. See the note below
- Waist: an elasticated waist with belt loops to the reference with the relaxed waist and the stretched waist both published, or a fixed waistband with the waist published, or a drawcord with the same figures, each quoted separately. See the note below
- Chart: all four rows published in the unit they were taken in, with the original figure kept where a conversion is printed, and whether each figure is flat or round stated. See the note below
- Grading: a grade chosen per row from the pattern rather than picked as round numbers, or where round numbers are picked, that stated so a reader can see it. See the note below
- Composition stated once in one form, with any organic claim carrying the certifier and the licence number. See the note below
- Fit: a relaxed tapered fit to the reference with the waist, hip, thigh, rise and hem all published and the ease given for every size against a named body table, or a straight leg with the same figures, or a slim tapered with the same figures, each quoted separately. See the note below
- Composition stated once in one form with every share summing to one hundred and the certifier and licence number given for any organic claim, the fabric weight in grams per square metre, the wale count, waist with the relaxed and stretched figures both given and whether flat or round stated, inside leg, rise, thigh, hem with whether flat or round stated, a grade per row derived from the pattern, all four rows published in the unit they were taken in, a body table for the waist so ease can be computed, one cleaning method or an order of preference, the temperature as a number, a drying instruction, shrinkage figures for both length and width, colour fastness to washing, rubbing and light, abrasion resistance, a stock line for every colourway, size set, colour development, private label and care labelling

Size Chart as Published by the Reference
| Size | Waist (in) | Inside Leg (in) | Rise (in) | Hem (in) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 26.4 in | 30.9 in | 11.4 in | 8.3 in |
| M | 28 in | 31.7 in | 11.8 in | 8.5 in |
| L | 29.6 in | 32.5 in | 12.2 in | 8.7 in |
| XL | 31.2 in | 33.3 in | 12.6 in | 8.9 in |
Every figure in this chart converts back to exact centimetres: the waist to 67, 71, 75 and 79, the inside leg to 78.5, 80.5, 82.5 and 84.5, the rise to 29, 30, 31 and 32, and the hem to 21, 21.5, 22 and 22.5. Note what the four grades are, which are 4, 2, 1 and 0.5 centimetres, and note what they have in common: each is half the one before. Note what that tells the run, which is that the grader picked round numbers rather than deriving each row from the body, and it is the first time the run has been able to see that. Note the waist, and note what the run must say plainly: it has no body table for the waist, only for the chest, so it cannot compute ease here the way it has on every other garment in this run. Note what it can say instead: against a waist of roughly 31 to 37 in, a garment waist of 26.4 to 31.2 is about five inches smaller, and note what the page says that explains it, which is elasticated. Note the two honest readings, which are that the sizing runs small and the elastic makes up two inches, or that the run's body table is wrong for this house and it makes up five, and note that the page gives no body measurement to settle it. Note that the page does not say whether the waist is relaxed or stretched, so the run does not know which figure it has. Note the hem, which is the flat half measure, doubling to about 16.6 to 17.8 in around, and note what that gives the run: its first number for the word tapered. Note that the hem grades at half a centimetre while the waist grades at four, so the taper deepens as the size grows, and one word is applied to all four shapes. Our proposal below publishes the relaxed and stretched waist, every figure marked flat or round, the wale count, the weight, and a body table for the waist.

Occasions and Styling
Suits everyday wear, smart casual dressing, weekends and autumn and winter. A corduroy trouser carries a knit or a shirt above it and a boot below, and an elasticated waist makes it comfortable through a long day.
Production and Quality Control
The reference publishes four measurements for all four sizes, states one fibre, names its fit, its leg, its waist construction, its country and its house country, gives three care instructions including a temperature as a number and a drying method that is a permission rather than a prohibition, gives a code, and carries four photographs. It gives no fabric weight, no wale count although the wale is the whole point of the cloth, no yarn count, no thigh, no hip, no elastic width, no stretch figure, no pocket count, no pocket dimensions, no leg length word although an inside leg of 30.9 in is short, no size conversion, no certification and no certifier or licence number for its organic claim, no model, no shrinkage figure and no pilling or abrasion grade, no statement of whether any figure is flat or round, and one of four sizes is out of stock, and its size field is named with a typo. Three things follow: the first trouser chart in this run, which stops every rule the run built on bodies; a waist smaller than the body, which the run has never computed before and which the page explains; and four grades halving down a series, which shows the grader choosing numbers.
Sixe, and that is the first thing, and it is worth saying what kind of error this is. It is worth then stating what kind, which is the first error in this run that is not a number, and it is worth then stating what every error before this one was, which was a figure that did not fit. It is worth then stating what the run's method has been, which is to distrust the numbers and trust the words, and it is worth then stating what this does to that, which is break it. It is worth then stating what the run must now say: it cannot sort errors into figures that are suspect and words that are safe, because a hand that keys a field name wrong is the same hand that keys a figure. It is worth then stating the practical consequence, which is that the size labels on this garment were entered by that hand, and it is worth then stating what the run should check, which is whether the other garment from this house says Size or Sixe, because if it says Size then the typo belongs to this listing and not to the house. It is worth then turning to the rows, and it is worth then stating what they are, which are waist, inside leg, rise and hem. It is worth then stating what the run has been reading on every other garment, which is chest, sleeve and length, and it is worth then stating what that means: the ease formula, the grade formula and the sleeve to length comparison were all built on bodies and none of them applies here.
Sixty-seven, seventy-one, seventy-five, seventy-nine, and that is the third thing, and it is worth saying how nearly the run got them wrong. It is worth then stating how, which is that its centimetre test tried rounding to nearest and failed on this row, and it is worth then stating what it nearly concluded, which is that the waist was the one row not written in centimetres. It is worth then stating what it should have tried, which is rounding up, and it is worth then stating what happens then: all four figures match. It is worth then stating the lesson, which is that the run's test has been trying one rounding rule when there are at least two, and it is worth then stating what it must do, which is try both from now on. It is worth then stating what the four recovered rows give, which are grades of four, two, one and a half centimetres, and it is worth then stating what that series is, which is geometric. It is worth then stating what that means, which is that the grader chose the numbers, and it is worth then saying why that matters: the run has been asking whether grades are derived from the body or picked by hand, and here it can see the picking.
Optional upgrades include the fabric weight in grams per square metre, the wale count, the yarn count, the thigh and hip, the relaxed and stretched waist both published, the elastic width, every figure marked flat or round, the leg opening given as a round figure, a leg length word or the inside leg given for short, regular and long, the pocket count and pocket dimensions, a waist body table so ease can be computed, the certifier and licence number for the organic claim, the composition stated once in one form, a size conversion table, shrinkage figures for both length and width, colour fastness to washing, rubbing and light, abrasion resistance, cotton elastane and wide and fine wale options, five pocket, cargo and drawcord options, straight, slim and wide leg options, a fixed waistband option, size set, colour development, private label and care labelling.
