Email Speedy Merrick at Corner Clothiers. Or the staff at Carter and Jasper. Both sell civilian clothes. they have a handle on proper corduroy.

Do you know if One of those two Vendors,
sell Cord Trousers that would work for Federal Fatigue Duty.

or am i correct, that maybe troops got these as an item while garisoned at a fort or something?

No, they would not wear cords on duty. There is a uniform for that function.

There was a lot of docmentation as I recall for Federal soldiers wearing corduroy but that's another topic for the military forums. However, the cord wale didn't change for troops versus citzens.
