Betabrand, manufacturer of the world’s most aerodynamic corduroy pants, is proud to unleash the latest edition of our Graphite Gray Cordarounds — not only our fastest-selling corduroy pants, but quite possibly the fastest pants on the planet, period.
How fast? For years, legend held that they were bequeathed to humanity by the speed-addled god Hermes himself in a secret ceremony atop Mt. Olympus.

HOW DO THEY FIT?
Our cords fit true to size.
WHAT IF MY INSEAM IS 30" OR 34"?

HOW DO I CARE FOR THEM?
Machine wash cold, tumble dry low. (They're prewashed.)
