i had the black pants; the white pants; the stone washed shorts!!!

those pants were so cool wish they made4 them again..people use to complement me all the time

I think they were popular closer to 1988 instead of earlier as noted. I had all the pants also, paid about $70 each. Several Z Cav sweaters also. Sure helped out in the nightclub scene.

You can buy z cavrici at torrid

www.zcavaricci.com They're still around

I had a pair I spent $120 on at Foley's, they were made from black velvet with a paisley pattern crushed into the material. I'd wear them tucked into black suede boots, the one's that had little belts on them! That and a black shirt with horizontal purple stripes... damn I looked good!!!

I just recently bought a pair of cavaricci's in good will for $4.50 and let me tell you my life has never been the same. I wore them on Halloween and boy o boy people were just flocking to me wanting to touch my cavaricci's they really know how to define your bottom to its utmost potential

I use to wear these pants all the time in high school. I had many different styles and colors. I remember being one of the only kids that could actually afford them. Does anyone remember their 70 dollar minimum price tag? hahaha this is a great web site. long live those crazy 80's!

I thought I was Mr. Cool with my Z.Cavaricci black pants back in the day. I don't think you could pay me enough to put them on again! Sorry, styles change with age.

I remember never having the $70 per pair price back when these were popular during my high school era. My friends and I used to steal these from the local fashion stores like candy from a baby! I had just about every style and every color...including the "cool" leather pants. What the hell were we thinking???

They were still cool in 89. You should update it.

I recall having few pairs, they flaired out a bit in the upper part of the leg. Almost like MC Hammer pants but were pleated and totally casual dress pants for the fashion in the late 80s. I was only in 4th grade and I had them, my mom was crazy.

Wow! we had some bad fashion in the 80's (bad meaning bad, not bad meaning good!) I had these in shorts. You had to show off that little z. Cavaricci label on the fly!

How funny, I had the Cavaricci's in the late 80's and early 90's. Last pair I got was a pair of Jeans and they still fit!! I even have a Cavaricci leather Jacket.

When I was in 7th grade, i was sitting next to a kid who had a pair of these pants on. I was a bit of a joker, and i had a pen out, pretending like i was going to write on them. he moved when i had the pen close to them, and it accidentally put a mark on them. he immediately punched me in the face. i said "well that didn't help anything" and then i cried.. lol.

I bought a pair of black size ten jeans almost 10 years ago. They have a smooth satiny lining to the fabric which has an very short cotton velour type nap.The have a slight stretch and the combination makes them ultimately comfortable. The rivets and the button at the front look like they are made of silver and look excellent with leather belts with silver buckles. They are long enough, which never happens, and the hip hugger top is high enough to keep my belly button covered when I'm sitting down, but low enough not to look like nerd pants standing up. I wore them to all of my most important gatherings for the first 5 years. Then to work at least a couple of times a week for the next 3 years. And now I wear them just for myself. They are good in all temperate climates temeratures. If I could duplicate them I'd buy 10 and wear them for the rest of my days and nights.

My friend worked at Madigans and got a discount - needless to say we ended up owning like 20 pairs each of pants and shorts and tops. I hate to say it, I still have one or 2 pairs of the shorts..I could never bear to throw them out. They are in mint condition. Still wish I had those flap over pants..we used to roll the bottems and wear with wild pair shoes. Ahh those were the dayz. If you want pics, I will take them of the shorts.

well i couldnt enjoy the fashion in the 80's cause i wasnt born untill 85 but i love z.cavarrici jeans now. i have this pair i got from a friend that look awesome. they must do some type of voodoo on the pants cause they make my butt look amazing. and from what i read here they used to do that very same thing in the 80's. you can buy z.cavarrici at jcpenny.

Z.Cavaricci never went out we are still around & we are doing really well....we no longer have that pant aka "the cat eye" as we have updated with the fashions...

The Z Cav tag covered my pleasure trail!! What a hidden suprise she had when she opened my pants up!!

Eeew they were so high waisted! Look at the guy in the middle, they are about to his nipples. I remember at the end of the school day I would have a red band across the bottom of my ribs from sitting all day in high waisted jeans.p84

Still have my Cavs...haven't worn them in 18 years though. Wore them with a pink t shirt and a Bolero shorty jacket...Never left the bar without a girl.

I had a pair in red, they fit like a dream.....

DOES anyone know where I can get a pair? I am really fond of the ones with the belt lopes the go all the way around. I had a pair like these in 6th grade back in '92. They were so tight...except for the thighs which were huge. I remember they were the first pants that you didn't have to tight roll. Convenience and style, what a great combination!

I remember getting a job at age 12 in 1989 working at a gas station as stock boy to try and raise money for some Z Cavaricci's. My mother just did not understand. When payday came my mom took me to Burlington Coat Factory to get some at outlet prices. Because of going to an outlet I had to settle for the dark green with all of the loops and a pair of red ones. I still paid like $140 for both. I used them on a rotating scedule until the colors faded to almost white. I would kill to have that style back. Let's start a revolution bringing back Cav's and IOU's, all the cool people will have them!!!

I was born in '84 so I had never even heard of these pants until recently. I had gone to torrid to buy a new pair of jeans and found a pair that looked great and fit awesome! I wore them the other day and my sister-in-law made a fuss about me being "fancy" and wearing Z. Cavaricci jeans. I looked at her wierd because I had no idea the jeans that I purchased were a famous brand. She grabbed her sister and pointed out the brand and she made a comment on them, too. lol.

Man, these were the pants of my young adulthood! From the streets of Tijuana and LaJolla, CA to the streets of chicago, IL...these pants and sweaters kept me looking too good for the ladies! Paired with anything from Cosi L'oumo and you could walk on water!! Haha!!! Great memories!!

where can you buy them everyone wants them

the vintage kind (w/the cumberbun type waist) for men,not the womens brand (at torrid)

I'm holding onto a pair, just in case I hit the lottery and can afford a tailor to copy them--well, take the size 8 I have and make it a 12. These pants were so good looking and comfortable. They fit better than any other pants I've found in my journey from size 8 to size 16, now back to 12.

lolz. I had a complete outfit- black pants with double belts, white shirt, black waiter's jacket with shoulder pads...oh and black boots from Journey's with the pant tucked in. Good times. I uploaded some pics...just waiting on them to be approved.

I was totally in love with a boy in 7th grade (or was it 8th??) who was like the Z Cavaricci poster child - striped t-shirts, jean shorts, pants... and he wore Calvin Klein cologne. At 13. I was smitten. *sigh* haha!

Z Cavaricci B*tch

anyone know what the other brand that had the logo on the zipper around the same time was?

I think you might be thinking of Girbaud's, chris. Those had the "fly" labels, too, IIRC. Cavaricci's really were still hot in '88-9. At least that's my story and I'm sticking to it. . .

FYI, On ebay, I have a pair of Z-Cavaricci denim overall shorts listed and will post some more vintage pants this week as well. Happy shopping.

I remember back in the late 80's to early 90s you were not cool in my Junior high unless you were walking around in your Z Cavaricci's and an IOU sweater.
