Description
Sex: Female
Type of clothing: Clothing
When it was popular: 1980
Description: These were designer jeans, as opposed to plain old jeans. They had the name of the designer embroidered on the pocket. Jordache had a double w kind of thing in white or yellow (to stand out against the dark blue), Gloria Vanderbilt had a swan. Calvin Kleins known as "Calvins" were popularized by Brooke Shields in a set of risque (for the times) ads depicting her in her "Calvins" and an unbuttoned shirt.

Jordache was my first pair of overpriced jeans, at a time when 99% of people bought theirs at the mall or K-Mart for 19.99. Skin tight. Size 6. Wish I still had them.

I'm a guy, and I hate the baggy style jeans that are made/sold to men, so I looked and found women's Jordache lo-rise jeans for $17.00 at Wal-Mart. They made several different styles, and the last ones they made (stretch & non-stretch) were the best fitting jeans I've had since the late 70's early 80's! BUT, the Jordache jeans sold exclusively at Wal-Mart quickly sold out after the Tsunami wave hit Sri Lanka where those Jordache jeans were made. Wish I had more !

Mine were the earlier style; dark blue with white stitching and a picure of a horses head and mane on each back pocket. There were usually worn rolled at the ankle

I still see tons of designer jeans at Salvation Army stores. They're always dark blue with contrasting gold-colored piping down the legs and around the pockets-cool then, ugly now!

I remember "checking the zipper" for a horse. That would identify fakes from the real thing!

Dude, you buy $18 jeans from Wallmart? I have never spent less than $300 on a pair of jeans. Rock & Republic, Monarchy, only fit right for me. I dont think Ive bought a pair of sucks for less than $18.

for mo- that's exactly it. jeans are all about the fitting. if your best fit is the 300$ ones great but as bobby said the 17.oo ones are the ones that best fit him. who cares abut the price when it looks right (i usually go for a mid-price range if you must know but some of my cheap ones have lasted longer then my couple of more expensive brands)

I never had a pair in the 80's because they didnt fit me right. My waste at that time was 23" and my hips were 31". The waste was always to big for me by the time I found a pair that would fit my hips. I was always jelous of everyone that could wear them.

These were so popular I think they came from Kmart which is where the prewalmart generation shopped.

I was born in the late eighties, have always hated jeans because they didn't fit. Last year I unknowingly bought a pair from the thrift store for 4$ and when I came home my mom flipped out laughing when she saw the brand. :) They are my favorite jeans. The 80's live on!

The only good ones were made in Hong Kong, very sturdy. The best look on women ever!
