I have a pair of vintage Japanese Uniqlo cords which do in fact fit the Ivy bill, but I absolutely concur in the beauty of how they’ve worn. On the backs of the calves mine have picked up tiger like horizontal stripes across the wales and similar flattening on the knees

Haha true! I haven't even noticed the horizontal honeycombs under the knees until you mentioned them. They are incomparably less pronounced than on denim but they are still there. I think that’s the beauty of corduroy: as it wears out the traces of wear blend in naturally with the fabric’s nepp and sheen.
