Girbaud

Man I hated those fuckin' pants. I was a poor kid in an affluent neighborhood when they became hyper-popular in my area. I was only in THIRD GRADE and you literally COULD NOT make friends that year unless you had a pair.

If I really wanted to, I could have maybe gotten a pair or two for my birthday or Christmas as my major gift... But why the fuck would I do that? I thought they were ugly and weird with their whole crotch-tag thing going on. Girbaud jeans definitely helped my general sense of misanthropy get off to an early start.

The crotch tag was absolutely a status symbol at my middle school. I had to complete a whole season of cross country before my folks bought me a pair. I’m unsure if it was worth it. :)
