I wore some hella JNCOs back in the day. Not your average JNCOs. I wore the most extreme JNCOs you could buy. I had a pair that had 50" openings and they were khakis and they had tabs in the back that said "Five Oh". Tell me about the the JNCOs you wore back in the 90s. Dickies and Ben Davis are cool too. This was me probably around 1999-2000. I had the penis belt and the cholo pompadour too.

I only had knockoffs of course, but they were comfortable and rotund- friendly after the tight Wrangler era. Never did carry a hammer in the hammer loop.

At least back in the day, there seemed to be no in-between. Either you kept them crisp or they were hella worn at the bottom.

We didn't have jncos in small town Canada when I was that age. I wrote the pants my parents gave me until I was 11-12 or so when peers told me I was gay unless I wore baggy oversized pants. My Mum got me some baggy cargo pants and I got baggy carpenters jeans from the church basement thrift store. Then I wasn't gay for my pants, but for my sensitivity and popularity with the girls. Years later I was told I dressed like a slob because my pants didn't fit me properly and I wasn't showing off my figure. Oh. Now I wear things that fit me except when I get too fat in my 30s. I've gone from a 34 to a 30 and back twice in the last 2 years.

Something I can't find except for Supreme selling $100+ shirts these days, is the fur collar work shirt. I had a green Red Kap type shirt that I bought from Hot Topic in the 90s that had a name patch that said "Rick" and a fake fur collar. It makes me sick to think how much these clothes would be worth if I still had them.

Mostly this combined with not wanting to ask my mom to drop the $70 or whatever they cost back in the day. They weren't cheap and I remember the bottoms always getting wet and gross and frayed in salty rear end wet michigan winter.

Honestly the OP is the cleanest I've ever seen JNCOs look. This includes the person wearing them. Most JNCO wearers wore them all the loving time and were also stinky 90s teenage boys with weird trendy white boy braids. Think like four braids off the top of the head, kottonmouth kings oversized shirt, Osiris D3s.  If you know, you know. I wore baggy khakis and off brand polos or solid color tees from Kohls and remember getting called a "trendy" by the above. Ahhhh middle school. It was the worst for everyone.

It's funny because I was actually an early adopter of the Kottonmouth Kings back when they had the original version of Suburban Life on the Scream soundtrack. I got into it because a friend of mine had the Scream soundtrack CD and then when my school went on a trip to Arizona, I found their EP at a mall in Phoenix. He actually got his grandmother who lived there to mail him the same CD after he borrowed it from me. Pre-internet music was weird like that. I was actually mostly into Bone Thugs-n-Harmony at the time and I had some sick shirts from back then that I really wish I had pictures of myself wearing. The one I'm specifically thinking of had Wish Bone holding a bottle of champagne and that's why I wasn't allowed to wear it at my high school after my world religion teacher saw it. It was especially funny because he would wear a Rolling Stones tongue t-shirt after hours and I knew they had a song called "Cocksucker Blues".

I also got dragged into the vice principal's office during sophomore year because I wore a "R U Still Down Remember Me" 2Pac shirt and he lectured me about how his son had a 2Pac poster and he didn't understand it but rules were rules and so on and so forth.

Poohs Packin posted:Seems like the man was really keeping you down I really felt that way. I got kicked out of the mall for wearing a collared uniform security shirt, untucked and way too big for me. It was looked kind of like this.  I was sure it was a major violation of my rights and I sure raised a stink but then again I was just a dumb teenager and forgot about it in a couple of days.

Can I bet that you'd gotten in trouble for shirts/clothes stuff before and the school had one of those generic 'No band shirts' rules in the dresscode that like, no one ever enforced except the two times in however many years that you went to school there that 'there was that one kid who insisted on wearing his Korn shirt and mouthing off a little' kind of thing?

people in the school lunch line would stand by the drink cooler and steal drinks by passing them to someone wearing jncos, who would drop them into the seemingly bottomless pockets. we're talking on the order of 8+ bottles of iced tea and sports drinks disappearing into those pants

Yeah, I wore a Green Day Insomniac shirt that had the track list on the back and another kid even tried to tell the teacher that the track list was just a list of shirts that they made and it wasn't a band shirt at all. It was funny because the alleged reasoning was that wearing these shirts would distract from learning when in fact the enforcement of the rule was more distracting than anything.

I was absolutely destroyed when my mother wouldn't buy me a pair of JNCO's on the basis that they were ridiculous. Looking back.. I am so glad my mother didn't because I don't need any more cringe memories.

For better or worse, I was allowed to create my own cringe memories when I discovered the joys of minimum wage jobs and Ross Dress for Less and Goodwill.

Turns out they just do whatever the gently caress they want, and don't give a single gently caress about an obviously wasted 16 year old moaning about their rights.

I read The Source religiously pre-internet and it was so easy to find all the albums they recommended on their 100 anniversary issue on tape at the thrift store. It was too bad when Benzino hosed everything up, trying to kickstart his pathetic career off the back of an old tape of a teenaged Eminem saying the n word.
