Use Corduroy Nap-Up?

Has anyone ever intentionally used corduroy so the nap runs upward instead of downward in the finished garment? I had some slacks like that once, and I loved the richer look of the cloth. I have some nice corduroy I'd like to use for a jumper now, and I'm debating laying out the pattern so the nap will run upwards. Is there any sewing or wearing reason not to? Also, do you think this would annoy the child wearing the garment? I mean, they couldn't smooth the fabric downward. I think that might have annoyed me back then. Thanks.
