The Pocket Comb is Back. Shorts info too...

Always interesting to submit ideas to the high and honorable Style Forum. Enjoy...



SAN FRANCISCO - Online clothier Cordarounds today unveiled its newest line of shorts, featuring a fashion-paradigm-shifting rear stash pocket.

Said company president Chris Lindland from the rooftop of Cordarounds world headquarters: "Were we beholden to current fashion trends, we'd call this a cozy tote for popular electronic gadgetry like iPods, BlackBerrys, and Tasers. But since Cordarounds operates on the furthest fringe of fashion's bleeding edge, we've decided to take our pocket stuffing in a different direction.



"Yes," Lindland bellowed to throngs of onlookers below, "We're proud to announce the return of the pocket comb as an essential male fashion accessory!"



Each and every pair of minty-fresh pin cord and khaki lightweight cord shorts comes equipped with a pocket that's perfect for storing a regulation 80-tooth gentleman's comb. Fashionistas and barbaristas agree: A comb peeking out from the rear stash pocket looks as naturally elegant as it would soaking in a vat of sparkling blue Barbicide. And, according to a company prospectus, the pocket can also comfortably accommodate the most generously sized Afro picks.



"Rest assured that our pants and their comb-capable pockets have earned the approval of the prestigious Fonzarelli Institute of Advanced Grooming Technology," Lindland concluded. "We hope you'll give our shorts a double thumbs-up, too!

My Dickies cutoffs from when I was 14 and skated do this better. Same pocket same place, way more punk (tm).

It's good to know that skaters are also picking up on the pocket comb trend.

I KNEW the pocket comb would be back! Good thing I've held onto my ivory toothed comb for more than 35 years now

The only times I see pocket combs are when old men who wear pressed jeans and cowboy boots use them, which makes me want to use them even more.

Of course, this is a joke. But don't count out the mighty comb.

You speak of the men of course?

This is only cool if you're carrying a switch-comb.

I typically react the same way.

I also really want one of those soft plastic coin pouches that only old men seem to have, you know the ones banks used to give away.

there are a ton of other things that old men wear/use that i feel are things only they, or people with a lot of style/confidence can get away with

such as

bolo ties
belts with their name, or any other real embellishment
suspenders

The shorts look fantastic. However, I would never carry a comb in my pocket. It would remind me of my childhood. I'm going to pick up a pair next month.

Good thing I had my friend's friend bring one over. Shipping/Customs to canada would have been atrocious.
