Toad & Co Women's Coaster Cord Short

A retro-inspired cord short with enough stretch and structure to actually move in. The kind of piece that looks intentional without trying too hard, whether you're walking to the farmers market or grabbing a post-ride beer.

Highlights

• Soft vintage cord with stretch — Lightweight corduroy that feels broken in from day one. The added stretch keeps things comfortable through a full day of activity without the stiff, restrictive feel of traditional cord.
• FlexForm waistband — Moves and flexes with you without sacrificing a clean, structured look. Comfortable enough for all day wear without feeling like you're in elastic waist territory.
• High rise with 5 inch inseam — A flattering, coverage-forward fit that hits above the knee. Works well for a range of body types and pairs easily with most footwear.
• Patched front and back pockets — Functional pockets that lean into the vintage aesthetic. Actually holds what you put in them.
• Shank button closure with zip fly — A polished hardware detail that elevates the overall look beyond a basic casual short.

Best for

Anyone looking for a versatile warm weather short with a laid back, retro personality. A natural fit for trail town life, travel days, and anywhere the vibe calls for something a little more considered than a standard athletic short.

Fit Note

Toad & Co updated the fit of these shorts in 2026 to match the feel of their popular Linden Short. If you're familiar with that fit, you'll feel right at home. If you're new to the brand, expect a comfortably fitted waist and hip with an open, relaxed leg opening.
