I recently came across an old picture of me and my oldest son, Devon. The year was somewhere around 1999, the place was my mom’s old house in Linden New Jersey and the jeans where….JNCO’s!
Now, I will admit that I am stuck in the 90’s, that was my youth so it is hard to let that go! But I have let go of the hair styles, my beeper, the VCR, the Ford Station Wagon and even many of the styles, but the one thing I wish I had kept were my JNCO jeans. I love wearing jeans, they are my favorite thing to wear and JNCO’s have to be the most comfortable! .
The style is super dated but I would still rock the shit out of pair of JNCO jeans. I still have a pair of cargo pants made by Caffeine from those times but the JNCO’s were retired some time ago. You see, they were super baggy and super long so they dragged on the ground and they would get that cool frayed look. But they would also get that not so cool rip that would travel all the way up your leg look.
So I went on a search to see if someone was selling these, and the internet did not let me down! Prices ranged from about $80-$300, yeah…..I like the jeans but not that much ha! But if anyone is looking to be my very best friend here is what I am looking for:
And I know I would totally look like ‘That Guy’ but as I have gotten older I finally understand ‘That Guy’. This was from a time when nothing hurt, life was hard but I had tons of energy, no grey hair and my waist was a 35…..but in all honesty I do not want to ever be that skinny again! Becoming ‘That Guy/Gal does not happen to everyone, I think it happens to guys more than girls, and I know there have probably been psychological studies on this but lets just say I see more That Guy than That Girl ha! And just to be clear I am not a lost cause to the 90’s, I have moved on with tech, fashion and to some degree music. We all know what we like and we all know what we love, wear it if it makes you happy and blast those tunes that have been now classified as ‘Classic Rock/Rap/Pop’at high volumes in local neighborhood!
So till next post; journal often, journal more and take pictures of everything.
