Classic ads
editThe best JNCOs were the super wide leg classics. This article mentions the Kangaroos (34-inch leg clearance). I also remember the Mammoths (40-inch clearance). It was fun knowing how wide the bottoms to your leg jeans were! What about the Convicts and Crimescenes(sp?) with a whopping 50-inch bottom clearance!!! I sure hope somebody has the classic ads for those (like they did with the Kangaroos).

- You can still see the classic ads and old JNCO websites at archive.org. Just use their Way Back Machine (or something similar) They stored JNCO websites as far back as 1994 or 1995, many of them still have their galleries and online store images intact. Tzar 16:15, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
Kikwear
editPerhaps we should create an entry for KIKWEAR...they spawned out of the ultra-wide-leg movement that JNCO started. But they took it a stop beyond. I remember KIKWEAR had a pair of jeans called the 69ers which had a 69-inch clearance (obviously).
Does company still exist?
editJnco jeans were not only the most comfortable fitting jeans (in my opinion), but were also manufactured of the softest, most comfortable denim I've ever had the pleasure of wearing. Unfortunately, I went to Kohl's today, and discovered that they no longer carry the Jnco brand, and subsequent research points to the disturbing suggestion that Jnco may no longer exist.
Phat pants
editJNCOs would be considered phat pants, right? Unless there's some distinction I'm not aware of (the people I knew who wore JNCOs were skaters, not ravers) there should be a link to that article. --Galaxiaad 04:23, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
Current Status of the Company
editI've since called the phone number listed on JNCO.com (1800-544-JNCO (5626)). They informed me that they are closing down the JNCO style for now and moving on to more premium Denim under the brand J&Company and they referred me to http://www.jandcompany.com/. To be honest, I'm quite surprised that such speculation occurred on the page and that no one took the time to even call this number. Whatever the case, I'm going to edit the page to reflect this change and remove speculation.Kakomu (talk) 17:10, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Webpage Reference Link
editI believe thie reference is no longer valid. I believe the company's new webpage is http://www.bewild.com/jncojeans.html Tesseract501 18:20, 10 December 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tesseract501 (talk • contribs)
- Oops - correction. Just spoke with the compant. The BeWild website sells JNCO brand but they aren't the JNCO company. Sorry about any confusion Tesseract501 (talk) 18:26, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
Contested prod
editI have removed the prod tags because despite this article having multiple issues including WP:PROMO and needing a rewrite, the brand is notable. While it is advisable for a source to be referenced in text, it is not necessary and for many of us who grew up in the 90s, the popularity of JNCO jeans is not in any doubt. A quick google search reveals a number of articles that could be used as secondary sources (and countless blog entries - although not useable as sources establish notability further). I'd prefer a consensus via AfD if anyone thinks this should go. Dfadden (talk) 10:34, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
Brand still in production in 2023 and very high quality IMHO
editI got a pair of Convicts and some King shorts. Both excellent. Don't be discouraged with all the c hanges and going in and out of production, at least for now. 2600:6C56:5500:61C:95EB:F01E:A6F5:E4A (talk) 01:53, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
