Who all wore Toughskin jeans as a kid?

[curtintex]

It was the summer of ‘69!

I was but a gleam in my daddy's eye in 1969

Never heard of tough skins. We wore what momma bought at garage sales and resale shops. The only thing new was the patches ironed on to them.

We must be related. Even though I’m old enough to remember the name we weren’t rich enough for such fine fashion.

I find it interesting that I never see any kids with holes in their jeans (knee area) anymore. Why is that? I had not thought about it until this thread.



The new jeans with pre made rips and tears don’t count!

I could send you a dozen pictures of my 8 yr old boy's jeans. Most of them have holes in the knees. We keep a couple Sunday go to meeting pair hanging up he is not allowed to play in.

Yep. 77-79 kindergarten into second grade. Then I stepped up to Lee and wrangler.

Are you sure that wasn’t the size tag

Are you sure your sarcasm meter has been calibrated? That was the point of the joke. [emoji848]

I have nightmares about the felony injustice of having to wear garanimals in elementary school. If you bought matching animals on shirts and pants, they would color coordinate.

Yep, remember them well along with the iron denim patches. Mom always ordered one pair of each color. That made for some interesting patches.

Shoot, when mine wore out my mother sewed patches in them! True HoBo!

Yep.

. Yep Toughskins and Trax shoes from KMart

Toughskins, Trax and a pack of colored Pocket t-shirts were my “school clothes” unti middle school.

Toughskins and Chuck Taylor high tops

Those Tuf Nut jeans were also hard to wear out!

Went through many pairs of Toughskins when I was a kid. I was so rough on jeans that my mom ironed patches on the inside and outside before I even got to wear them. And add one more to the HUSKY list.

Pretty sure we had Toughskin and Husky jeans

Also pretty sure Chew just triggered something with the Garanimal reference

Randy the reason kids don't have holes in jeans is 99.9% don't play outside crawling around with Tonkas in the dirt, gravel and grassburs

According to what I see in Highland park, when their jeans get holes in them, their moms take em away and wear them.


I never have understood why women want to wear tore up jeans.
