Our jeans really did look ridiculous. Damnit.

Jncos had pockets so deep the cops couldn't find your weed.

You could easily fit a 40 in those pockets. Also, I had a pair that had a secret Velcro pocket between the knee and crotch area for hiding stuff.

Is how I read that initially.

My police record strongly disagrees with this statement.

I spent 2 hours in a police station before being released. It was only midway through that I reached deep down in my right pocket and felt the 8th the officers had missed during several patdowns and reach-ins. Got real nervous after that. But they let me go and I smoked that 8th.

I remember when I was like 12 I could fit a 2L soda bottle in my back pocket.

It's funny because the first time that I saw skinny jeans, I laughed and laughed. These are so much worse.

Oversized ones like this are bad, but the baggy look today is much more reasonable and appealing

Yea honestly I think we peaked a few years back. The big flapping jeans are slightly ridiculous. But maybe that’s because I was there for the first time I’m not sure lol

when I look back at jeans throughout history, from the 60s 70s 80s and most of the 90s, it's like yeah you can tell what decade theyre from but vast majority of them don't look ridiculous... but the super baggy for men and super low rise for women trends that came in the 00s is just still so awful

It’s not just that the JNCOs are so large but also that their shirts are so tight. It’s just so bottom heavy.

Yeah that contrast really bothers me. If shirts were equally as baggy it wouldn’t be as bad.

And they were extra stupid if you lived anywhere that snows and rains a bit. So uncomfortable but you didn’t care as long as you looked like a clown like everyone else. 😂 Good times.
