Because they stopped making them and you couldn't find them and skinny jeans were the in-thing.

I fucking hated it. I suddenly had to change my style whether I liked it or not.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago

Idk my husband never changed, Levi’s always had these

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Same. 527 is my current choice. I’m wearing a pair right now.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Gonna turn your 501s into 499s

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago
[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Those look awesome, thanks for the tip.

My all time fav are 503, but they have not been in production since the 2000’s. I held on to my limited collection of them until they were all in a state of disrepair. I’m still hoping for a revival of the model.

Wrangler relaxed fit boot cut

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

This is the answer, right here.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I have several pants like this, they're still common second-hand.

Probably after we got tired of walking around with soaking ankles

[-] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago

And absolutely shredded cuffs.

[-] [email protected] 71 points 2 months ago

Because they stopped making them!

They sucked though, the leg ends would always end up getting wet, muddy, and/or torn off

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

I really liked this cut, and would like them to come back. I used safety pins to keep the ends off the ground.

[-] [email protected] 28 points 2 months ago

So you hemmed them to a more typical pant leg length?

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

No, just the back, so I didn't step on them.

[-] [email protected] 31 points 2 months ago

When the ends of our jeans looked all freyed and hemmed

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Dusty, too. Washed jeans went from white to blue, unwashed from blue to brown.

This isn't what jeans look like anymore? Help me out

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

I just saw a high schooler wearing black ones when grabbing something to eat at the store.

What pants?

You wear pants?

[-] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago

I wore a pair of jeans like that yesterday...

[-] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago

I see nothing unique about this pair of jeans.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

They've started wearing them again

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

The last time I bought jeans they still looked like this. Granted it was 2003, but still.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

Looks a lot like my wardrobe, even the Chucks. Can't quite find a cut like that anymore, but I love that wash. And, honestly, I like it when they get tattered by the heel.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Try looking for a boot cut. It's similar, kind of baggy and the cuff is oversized to fit over boots (hence the name)

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

Who said I don't?

My leg length is right though..

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

I got tired of the torn up cuffs and jean cuffs are uncomfortable to walk on when you don't have shoes on.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

What up skaterboi?

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

Maybe because they were stepping on their own fucking pants.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

We got tired of hiding our powerful haunches

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

I really wish I could find comfortable jeans like that.

"Why does fashion" basically.

Could everyone stop pretending like you decide objectively what you wear.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Because they're not practical and they fell out of style

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

How is this different from regular ass jeans?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

These were the most regular in the 2010s. They are a bin narrower in the knees, and looser at the bottom. People liked to wear them longer, so that they wrinkled at the bottom.

It's uncomfy

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

You could not do sick kicks easily in them boys, or climb trees, I destroyed many a pair with my thick ass thighs.
