Wacko Funked Out Cheezoid Brands tried to work Pinbacks into the sell-factor on JEANS in the late Eighties/Early Nineties. But kids would just flow through Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s and steal the pins.
Same thing happened with hang-tags that were stickers. Kids would just yank ‘em off. I don’t know if this Pinback is really one of those funky pins that came on a baggy Girbaud-rip-off — but I like to think it is. Either that or a funky “brooch” for one of those weirdo Aunt types from the period that encouraged your drawings, polaroids, and thoughts on what was cool on the radio. |
