JNCO (Judge None Choose One) · Clothing & Accessories > Men's Clothing > Jeans
Era / Decade
Late 1990s (c. 1997-1999). Specifically identifiable by the Mammoth alien / sea creature embroidery and the extreme wide-leg silhouette characteristic of late 90s rave culture.
Material
100% heavy cotton denim. High-quality, durable weight fabric with contrast white stitching and large embroidered patches.

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Depop or Grailed are the best for this specific style as they cater to streetwear/vintage enthusiasts. eBay is also excellent for reaching international collectors.
Selling Tips
Always include the 'leg opening' measurement in inches as this is the primary metric collectors use. Take photos from a low angle to emphasize the wideness. Use keywords like 'Ravers,' 'Y2K,' 'Skater,' and 'Wide Leg.' Avoid over-washing to prevent fading.
