mydaguerreotypeboyfriend: Nineteenth century pioneer hunter from Wyoming. Note the wide whale of the corduroy pant. The very wide whale.  Submitted by the NYRBClassics tumblr, which also points us to this passage in Thoreau’s journal where he purchases said pair of pants.  “Within a week I have had made a pair of corduroy pants, which cost when done $1.60. They are of that peculiar clay-color, reflecting the light from portions of their surface. They have this advantage, that, beside being very strong, they will look about as well three months hence as now,—or as ill, some would say. Most of my friends are disturbed by my wearing them.” LOVE Thoreau’s priceless commentary on the pants!
