Just turned 30 at the end of November.

If you were REALLY cool in 71 you didn't wear the bell bottoms, you wore the straight leg plaid pants with beatle boots and a button shirt.

Or you could go with the white jeans, paisley shirt and chuckas.

Can you say chick magnet?

bastage!

Here's something else. It was hella cool to wear cut off levis to the beach, but you had to wear long boxers underneath so the boxer legs hung below the cutoffs.

Of course these could only be worn with 'Hang Ten' t-shirts.

"Some viewers may wonder why the models' bodies are wider below the navel. Those are called hips. Hips have not appeared on fashion models in the last twenty years, so some confusion is understandable."


He's right.  Modern fashion models are worse than the ones in that old catalog.

Gawd, I remember THESE .........



I also remember that stupid robot they had for awhile that advertised the jeans for them.  By then I was starting to get old enough to realize how ugly those jeans were.  You HAD to outgrow them, you couldnt destroy those jeans.  Reinforced everywhere and made out of blue colored galvanized steel.  I think they had a fire resistant rating too.  Brrrrr.
