A fun flashback for your morning! If you’re pushing 30, you probably remember the embroidered “designer jeans” that the ’80s PYT’s used to clamor for—the token colorful stitching on the back pocket, celebrating extremely type fit in conjunction with pop culture icons of the time. They are, with explicit enthusiasm, remembered here. Did you ever squeeze into a pair of these?
