KIDS KORNER
1980s Designer Denim
During this decade,
designer jeans became a
status symbol in pop culture.
Big name brands like Calvin
Klein featured acid-washed
and stonewashed denim with skinnier leg designs that
were tapered at the ankle. These styles were super " in "
and super expensive $$$.
1990s Big, Baggy and Saggy
Hip-hop and grunge style
music helped reshape skinny,
designer denim into baggy mom
jeans. These were high-waisted,
with a relaxed fit. Carpenter
jeans with lots of pockets were trendy. The bigger and
baggier, the better!
CALLING ALL
SUPER SLEUTHS
Alongside the Levi's jeans in
many clothing stores, is another
popular and well-known brand
created in 1947 by the Blue
Bell denim company. These rugged
pants were tested for durability
on the rodeo circuit and eventually became the first Western
wear brand to be endorsed by the Pro Rodeo Cowboy Association.
Years later, this jean brand became the primary sponsor of
professional driver Dale Earnhardt and his famous " Jeans Machine. "
Using these facts, help Hay Seed and City Slicker discover the name
of these celebrated jeans by finding one of its back pockets hidden
in the magazine.
