Yes, ask Pingu to borrow a block of ice, freeze the gum and then it should peel off without too much fuss.

Rub area with ice, then scrape off with dull blade. Sponge with dry cleaning solvent; allow to air dry. Wash in detergent and hottest water safe for fabric.
Try egg white that's said to remove chewing gum from anything. Rub the egg white on the gum and it will remove it from cloth, hair or hands without leaving a spot.
Chewing gum may be removed from different materials by soaking them in turpentine.

The best thing for gum on clothes is ice. Rub the gum with an ice cube and it should peel off easily. Or you can put the garment into the freezer and then peel off easily.

If you mean without damaging your cordroys, put them in the freezer then it will freeze and you can scrape off, but why? throw the cordroys away and buy a decent pair of jeans

Put them in a plastic bag, then into a deep freezer for an hour or so, until the gum is solid, should pull out then and scrap out with a spoon. You have to be quick before it defrosts.

I haven't tried this tip but I have seen it in magazines several times --- put the item of clothing in a plastic bag and put it in the freezer. When the chewing gum is frozen, you could scrape it away with a knife gently. Hope it's going to work. Don't blame me if it doesn't or if you rip your clothes.
