Disadvantages – The corduroy suit is a seasonal suit.

Alternative – A 100% cotton moleskin fabric. If you choose to have a corduroy suit custom made (made-to-measure), it will give you style options like three open patch pockets on the jacket, suede elbow patches, leather or nice casual contrasting horn buttons.
