San Francisco based company Cordarounds seems hell-bent on living up to every stereotype about that quirky city. Their store is online-only and features a trippy blog. Their catalog ads involve horizontal corduroy pants worn by attractive-and/or-grungy people drinking, eating, playing guitar, camping, reading The Satanic Verses in a reversible smoking jacket, that sort of mundane thing. They offer free shipping - but only to Greenland, of course.
Best of all, they're not afraid to offend people with their uberedgy science:
Okay, maybe that's actually pseudoscience. If it's not, I really don't want to know how they calibrated that soft-o-meter, or how many bunnies died in the process.
(But I do kinda want to try a vagisoft blanket. Mmmm, soft.)

Wow, that is (intentionally, I'm sure) a disquieting fabric name - are we talking about a smoking jacket or a sex toy?
No, no - don't answer that...
sounds uncomfortably like vagasill
a blanket that also manages herpes outbreaks?
doesn't make me want to snuggle.
ummm this strikes me as tongue in cheek (gee did I just write that???) humor. lighten up folks
@jay - didn't mean to suggest that it should be taken seriously, just that it was in that gray area betw. funny and too weird. Also - bio note - I thought mermaids were more roe sack and less womb. Maybe the marshmallow kind are unrelated to the kind that sing each to each - convergent evolution?
Jessica-
It's a great honor to have our blanket discussed by actual scientists.
I see you live in DC, home of the seersucker-wearer. Those interested in learning more about the pseudoscience we inject into the puckery cloth may visit:

Jay, you cheeky critter you!
Dr.hypercube, anyone who tosses in an Eliot reference while debating whether mermaids have roe sacks or wombs earns my undying respect.
cordarounds, I am SO GLAD you posted that link to the suckerlab (http://suckerlab.cordarounds.com/tech/) . I do not myself partake of the seersucker, but for all those who do, check out the heat flow diagram.
What gets me every time is "freshly laundered bunny". I have not managed to read that without snorfling yet.
That is so funny, Jessica! Pardon me as I steal the image...
there's plenty of science-fiction-fashion to be found in our blog

Crappy clothes need clever copy. Cordarounds wins that going away.
