"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""These shorts are a vintage dream—soft corduroy, perfect above-the-knee fit, and a little stretch for all-day comfort. I wear them everywhere, from beach mornings to nights out. They just get better the more you break them in.""Decades of Katin heritage meet effortless modern comfort in the Cord Local Short. Woven from soft, 16-wale cotton corduroy with just a hint of stretch, these shorts deliver the perfect blend of texture, movement, and timeless style. The elastic waistband and relaxed cut make them easy to live in, while clean-finished interior binding and welt pockets give a polished touch. Sitting just above the knee, they strike that sweet spot between casual and refined—ready for everything from early surf checks to evenings around town."
