    I borrowed a pair of these jeans, wore them to school and became about 50% more popular in one day.

    I had several pairs of these and I wish I still had all of them. They were extremely comfortable well made and withstood a lot of wear and tear. I haven't had denim of that quality ever since.

    I skated in my JNCO jeans, but not all of them. It really depended on what model, I had two out of like 8 different models that I actually could skate in cause they weren't super huge at the bottom like all the other models were

    I had a pair in 6th grade back in 97' - 98'. They had blue piping running down the leg seam. As a 12 year old, I thought they were so cool. I would have worn Jncos every day, but at $100+ a pair, one pair was all my parents would buy me.

    Jnco came back in 2014 under new Chinese owner Guotai. The initial run wasn't up to snuff. A few years later, the original owners, the Revah family, took it back over and once again began pumping out quality denim like we remember. Jnco is back, and the Zoomers are digging them, too.

    We used to wear giant jeans that would fray near the bottom and up the outside seam. You repaired the fray by attaching some fabric in a triangle pattern. This was mid-90s. Jnco’s got tighter in 98/99. Kikwear and UFO’s were more experimental with material and styles. At one point jnco went away while those companies were still on shelves.

    jncos are best for skating because with how loose they are you dont even feel them on your leg, they are the least restrictive jeans possibile. to avoid the bottoms from catching on stuff you just buy them a size small on length or cut them
