Pinback – Funky Design Bullshit

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.
