Me and Rico like to go on long strolls, looking for missing pieces of Zaghaven.
It was Rico that figured out the only way to properly “zap” a puzzle peg back to the Sixth is to record it on an old school video camera. “None of this HD nonsense,” says Rico. The only thing I like better than Rico’s exploratory “Sixth” Sense, is his sense of style. Especially in the zone of how high one should pull up one’s pants. “Way high,” says Rico, “if only I could get them right over my stomach, I’d be a happy man.” Don’t tell Rico but I have a tailor working on a pair of jeans that are gonna blow Gloria Vanderbilt off the map.
Still Rocking the Bugle boys son!
What-chu-know about elastic cuffs?
Let me tell you Necos. Bugle Boys were our shit. Middle School: Bugle Boys ruled hard. What the hell was going on with that brand!? Who came up with that name?
Well, here it is:
Bugle Boy was a brand of pants popular in the 1980s founded by Dr. William Mow in 1977. It declared bankruptcy in 2001.
William Mow (Traditional Chinese: 毛昭寰) was born in Hangzhou, China, and later moved with his family to the United States. He graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1959 and then earned a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Purdue University in 1967.[1] He worked for Litton Industries for two years before venturing out on his own. Mow founded Macrodata based on his invention of a method of testing large-scale integrated chips and the company went public in 1973. Around 1976 Mow sold his shares and left the company due to an investigation by the SEC. Although he was later cleared, he had to stay out of the electronics design industry for a few years due to a non-competition clause he had signed with Macrodata.
In 1977, Mow founded Bugle Boy Industries. During the 1980s the company enjoyed continued growth. Sales approached $1 billion, making Bugle Boy one of the largest privately owned apparel companies in the United States, but the company fell into troubled times in 2001, declared bankruptcy,[2][3] and was sold that year for $68.6 million.[1] The Bugle Boy brand was purchased in 2001 by Schottenstein Stores Corp., owner of Retail Ventures and several retail chains.[4]
Bugle Boy featured men’s and boys’ clothing, often with a denim theme. Elastic cuffs at the bottom of the jeans and cross-stitching patterns were also a major part of the Bugle Boy style, with brands such as Pilot and Cotler being its contemporaries. Bugle Boy also produced men’s and boys’ tops, but was best known for its varieties of jeans and jean shorts.
In 2001, Bugle Boy closed all 215 of its U.S. outlet stores in an agreement with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. Their store at Gurnee Mills remained open to sell off remaining inventory.[2]
