At long last, an aerodynamic corduroy pant.   Praise technology and the remarkable times we live in!

Through sheer scientific marvel, Lindland Labs have fabricated a corduroy that wears sideways, cheating the wind and lowering drag coefficient by an amazing 16.24%

Finally, cords that can keep up with our fast-paced lives -- even accelerate them.  But that's not all...

Don't you hate it when vertical cord friction heats your crotch to uncomfortable, even dangerous levels? Problem solved.  Lindland's Cordarounds mesh evenly, lowering the crotch heat index by up to 22%

With such advances in technology, fashion really is an afterthought.  Are Cordarounds cooler than the common cords?  But of course.  We have the data to prove it.  We even have a song.  

Oh, the countless come-ons Cordarounds have inspired: "Ooh, may I touch your leg?" Or "Ahh, may I tickle your silky pocket?" Yet for every lusty, Lazenby-esque tale, there is a tender story of heartwarming love. Today Cordarounds treats you to two such vignettes -- one true and one false. Only Sherlock Holmes himself would be able to deduce which is real and which is red-hot pant fiction. Can you?

Dear Cordarounds,

Last year, I was beamed aboard a spacecraft and transported to a small planet in the far reaches of the Andromeda Galaxy, where I was supposed to pledge my allegiance to Zygloff Exbbuggggh, leader of a race of reptilian-like humanoids called the Fallopians. Little did I know at the time that horizontal corduroy was the rarest and most prized fabric in that solar system! Because I was wearing a pair of Cordarounds at the time of my abduction, I was instantly awash in wealth and power, which I used to unseat the tyrannical Exbbuggggh and, in the process, secure for myself his enormous harem of nubile, gymnastic Znorts. THANKS!!!

Dear Cordarounds:

Your pants reunited me with my true love. We were together for 2 years, and then broke up when I moved to NY from TX. We lost touch for a while, but then he sent an email telling me he'd bought these new pants called Cordarounds. I was a little curious, so I emailed back, just casually. We kept in touch this time, and I had a renewed interest in him ~ before he never seemed to go out on a limb, try really new things. He liked things just so... kinda ho-hum.

But now, something was different. After a few months of emailing, we decided to meet next time I came to Texas. Over Christmas we met for lunch, and he was WEARING THEM! I kept feeling like I was being drawn, pulled to him as if by some gravitational force. Sparks flew as soon as I touched those pants, and we've been back together ever since! He attributes it all to the coolness of the horizontal wale!

I guess you can say I dug his lowered drag. Though I'm not sure I trust your lowered crotch heat claim -- hmmmmm...

I'm planning to relocate to TX as soon as possible, so we can start our new life together!


The true story, of course, is #1. And now that your hearts are warmed as much as ours are, why not spice up your love life with some horizontal corduroy?

What are Cordarounds, Summerounds, and Pot-Docs?  All part of an online clothing experiment that's been covered by The New Yorker, New York Times, Newsweek, NPR, and 50 other publications that don't start with N. 

Each textured product we design is produced in small batches of a couple hundred items, then we move on to new ideas. 

We're a 2 man design shop that manufactures in San Francisco and only sells online.   We ship every other day via UPS and via the US Postal Service to foreign destinations and military bases.

Our models are friends, neighbors, customers and pigeon matadors.
