Hello, folks! It's been a while since I last posted here. How I've missed the forums! So, I bought these jeans off the web and I'm kind of on the fence when it comes to dating them. They were made by New Max, which was first registered on April 18th, 1972. The fabric is 78% polyester and 22% cotton, which led me to believe they were from the 1970s, but the straight leg threw me off. I mean, I do realize that not all jeans made in the '70s are bell bottoms, but I was thinking maybe this is something from the early '80s? I'm unsure. They also have these “jewel” details in the back, which I wouldn't know how to name. Does anyone have an idea of when these could have been made? Thanks a lot
Nice to see you! My guess would be early 80s too with that ultra-straight shape, or maybe just on the 70s/80s cusp. A style I personally like!
The back embellishments remind me of USA Western wear collar tips. Never seen something like that on the back of jeans though.
