Yeah, maybe.
But you're too young to remember those corduroy bell bottoms with something like 40" of hemline circumference per leg. In my junior high you had to fairly well shout to make yourself heard over 125 dB "whoosing" in the halls.

LMAO. Cords were huge in my junior high since we couldn't wear jeans. We didn't have the bell-bottom style though. Now that I think of it, I'm not sure I've worn corduroy in 20 years. |

Cords kick ass. I just bought a pair last year, and loved them. They fell prey to some obvious quality mishap when the uh, button in the front let go. Cheap ass *feces*.  Jorts? I assume your talking about the staple of the redneck uniform? Never liked 'em. |

Chick cords didn't have back pockets. Dude cords did. At least I know you were checking out the right back pockets.  For some reason they were always tan. |

I remember those from junior high. The "cords" were about 1/4" wide and hip huggers. Circa 1971. |

The best shorts evar were Dolphin shorts. stroh might remember these. They became popular with the girlies when we were in middle school. They were like silky running shorts. They weren't all that revealing, but they were so sheer and silky smooth just thinking about running your fingers down them was enough to make you pack wood.*
*with full acknowledgement that, at that age, even a slight breeze had the same effect

Indeed! And being lucky enough to grow up in Florida during that time, they tended to be in season year 'round.  |

I never had them. I was a bit too young, but I remember my older cousins wearing them. I'm not convinced they were worse than the current trend of boys wearing girls jeans. |

I misread this at first and thought it said Jarts.
But viewing some jorts makes me want to take a jart in the eye, so they are not far off. So one worst invention of all time can counter another.
