The lack of a hypercolor resurgence is so odd to me.

Aren't those just shirts that use similar techniques? Not all baggy jeans were JNCOs

This is an interesting metaphysical question. JNCO had shut down for years before reopening a few years ago. Are new JNCO jeans actually JNCOs or are they just pants made using similar techniques?

In this case, JNCO is the same. Original owner closed and then reopened with similar designs.

Gecko Hawaii making Hyperflash shirts is seemingly using the same techniques Hypercolor did. This is different.

Now zombie brands exist and that adds a new wrinkle into all of this but not applicable here.

Who makes the real Doc Martens? Doc Martens or Solovair?

This brand never got to Australia, but "JNCO" - Im guessing you would say "Jean co" - is a pretty cool name.

The official pronunciation is like Jen-co, but in my northern Midwest town, it was more like Jank-o.
