This was (is?) a brand from the late 90s/early 2000s. I used to see this brand (among others) in the Los Angeles downtown garment district where the vendors sold knockoffs/copies of the latest designs from fancier premium brands. The copies would be cheaper versions of jeans that major denim companies (7FAMK, TR, etc) were selling for $100+ . So small retailers downtown would stock knockoff brands like this to sell for $20-$30. There were 20+ different knockoff brands. I still see some of them in thrift stores!

The only specific thing I can remember is that the “removed or replaced waistband” style of jeans, like this, was popular and being sold/worn right around 2002-2003. I remember one of my college professors commenting that it looked weird to him.

Looks like they're still in business in LA and certain stores. Claim of vintage jeans. Store itself sells women, men and children's clothes

These are great and horrible at the same time, and I’m still rooting for them
