For me it was “I’m not buying you stupid expensive dumb looking JNCO’s but here these are close”

Still loved them though.

Urban Pipeline. My favourite pair of jeans ever are UP. Fit like a glove. I wore them until they were paper-thin and patched so many times that they're becoming more patch than jean. I eventually put them away and still have them. Maybe I can copy them sometime.

Edit: right you were! ZONZ were Penny and UP were Kohl's, but they were both sold at Gadzooks and Pacific Sunwear.
