I just bought a pair at Value Village for 6.99! In Excellent condition and the have the red X pocket!

When I was in third grade, these were all the rage. I had two pair: SFRG "V" backs, with the chevron stitched onto teh poclet in white thread, and the roaringly popular "Buckle-backs", with gold contrast stitching. I wore them with my Cherokee sandals and my white leather Nikes with the red swoosh and blue accents. The next year they were replaced in the rotation by my purple A. Smiles.

Those Nike's of which you speak were called CORTEZ. I owned several pair in the late 70's and early 80's. I owned a pair of SFRG as well, but I was a small kid in 5th. grage (1981) and they just didn't fit right. I've NEVER seen so much as a photos of SFRG since.

In addition to the pants you had to have the comb with the big handle on it that stuck out of your back pocket. Thay were as mush for show as they were for keeping that feathered hair cut looking good. I was in 8th-9th grade when these things were a necessity. Seems like three lifetimes ago.

I have a pair of San Fransisco jeans size 36 excellent condition. Interested??? Email me Lohsecindy@yahoo.com

Someone did not look into the years these pants were popular. Sorry, 1976 to 1981. Brittania and SFRG very popular in 70's

My twin cousins are seven years older than me and I got their hand-me-downs. Those 2 were probably cool wearing San Franciscos in 1982 but I was incredibly un-cool wearing them in 1989. Those F#$%ing valour shirts got a lot of laughs too!

I had 3 red X's and wore high top Nikes with the black swoosh. I also wore the blue workshirt with the red stitching and the big handle comb in the pocket.

"Someone did not look into the years these pants were popular. Sorry, 1976 to 1981. Brittania and SFRG very popular in 70's" Actually, my memory recalls that Brittania's predated the popularity of SFRG. I remember in 5th-6th grade when Brittania's were the rage and everyone had to have them. This would be the late 1970's. 77-79 or so. I switched schools and almost overnight, or over the course of a summer, SFRG became the new rage, Brittania's were making more and more custom jeans, (different colors, pin striping, I had a yellow pair with white pinstripes, I think they were trying to copy the popularity of painter pants which also occurred at that time.) while SFRG became the jean of choice for about 2 years from 1979-1981. By the time I was in HS in 1982, Levi's had regained their historic presence again and wide legged pants were going going gone. By 1885 everyone was wearing tapered legged Levi's of various colors. Very fast changing times for fashion between about 1977 and 1984.

Yes, every style of jeans from 1976-1981 was good for about one year only. My star jeans were great in 7th grade (76-77). Next year, they were out. Nike's changed every year, too. It was an expensive time to go to junior high and early high school.

I suppose it depended on where you lived, but I only remember the SFRG in the late 70s and early 80s, and yes, they only spanned like a couple seasons. And the jeans did turn by the year, with Levi's coming back in the early 80s. Of course the "stoners" and losers were holdouts hung on the wide-legged jeans well into the 80s, but that was then--everyone else had finally begun to move on. I remember having a few leftover pair of wide-legged pants--not necessarily jeans, though. Then in my freshman year of college (1984) I got really daring and bought the Girbaud jeans with the tag on the fly. I thought it was so brazen!

My brother was the owner of SFRG and Sticky Fingers. It was an exciting time!! We also owned 6 stores that sold SFRG exclusively!!

My boyfriend on 1980, had a pair of SFRG and he was the hottest thing on two legs! My mom always said she hated those pants, because it looked like he was carrying a load in them. Lol

I was in 6th grade 79-80 and thats when they first became popular in my area - Portland, OR. Girls wore them with Bare Traps. I think I had 2 pairs, a painter pants pair where I kept my comb in the side pocket. They had red stitching and a buckle across the back too. My other pair had lighter stitching and a v on the pockets. Maybe they became popular much later in Oregon. None of my friends in So Cal have heard of them.

I was in Tacoma, WA in 79-80 when SFRG jeans were huge, with the obligatory huge cuff... 'Seems like another lifetime... ;-)

I went to a private Christian high school in Salem. In 1980, everyone wore SFRG...it might as well of been a uniform. Girls though could only wear them on Fridays. The funny thing was they wore them up tight in their crotch so we could all see...well, their girl parts. I presume it was on purpose and not a design feature of the jeans...it was also probably the one rebellious thing they could get away with. The boys liked it.

someone is trying to buy 152.25 worth of stuff here with a stolen debit number !!!!
