Age check who had them???

[Jeff Clark]

Good ol Sears.... Who had a pair or many??? these things were nuclear, first time wearing them would leave your knees red from the chafing... or a good month after...

And if for some reason you fell into a meat grinder or drug behind a semi and the pants got a tear you had these....

 

[dobber]

Well, I was born in 72 so you do the math. Mostly got the the JC Penney brand though.

You must be mistaken, I thought you had a good twelve on me.. fine sir...:laugh: one of these weekends we need to take a ride to Richards just to see what he has laying around :thumbsup:

For the most part I had 501's a few Lees, and a lot of Levi's Cords. I miss the early seventies!

 

[Jeff Clark]

I forgot about cords thats a whole new topic.... im not sayin but you might of made it to the early 80's with some baby blue cord shorts... not like I had any.... just memory of them around....

That would be cool, lets go. I've had PLENTY of time lately but I'm actually going back to work next Monday. I will have weekends off though.

 

[Jeff Clark]

That is good to hear!!!! Richard has came up a couple times It would be fun to see what he has, a adventure im sure!!

 

[Motra]

I stopped by your work one day and you were gone for lunch. There's been a couple other times I was in your neck of the woods but couldn't stop by.

Didn't matter what I was wearing,they all ended up with grease on them. I wore whatever my mom bought me and did not really like what she got.Levis mostly,lees,a few toughskins and yes them crazy cords.

 

[WrenchDad]

I had toughskins and those stupid patches. Didnt toughskins have a style that came with the indestructable Knee patch already on them? I remember the pants would wear out around the patch.

I remember those Tough Jeans, "bell bottoms" and coudoroys..when I grew up in the 70's, on the gritty, grimey streets of Elizabeth, NJ.... I don't care how hot it got, NOBODY and I mean NOBODY wore shorts unless you were a girl or "Little Lord Fauntleroy"....it was worn out greasy "Dungarees" and a white cotton T-shirt.
If your parents were taking you "down the shore" or to aunt Martha's pool then it was cut-off jeans ...I remember how awful they would look until you got the frayed edges on them.:doah:

how the heck could you crawl on the hot asphalt strewn with broken bits of glass..... working on your Schwinn Sting Ray or mini-bike or your hand-me-down '58 Rambler with push-button shift if you were wearing shorts :doah:

My wife thinks I'm nuts....I guess it's a product of where or how you grew up...I never was much of a beach person.

White Tee's were soooooo 60's! It was Hang Ten's in the 70's, and Pendaltens during the winter.
