- [Voiceover] Those are enormous.
- [Voiceover] Jesus Christ.
I wore JNCO Jeans for an entire week
and this is what happened.
JNCO Jeans came out in the mid to late 90s.
They fit you normally at the very top
and then they get incredibly baggy at the bottom.
I always thought JNCO Jeans were really interesting
and something drew me to them,
and I could never wear them
because I went to a Catholic middle school
where I had to wear a uniform.
(rock music)
It was a weird feeling at first.
Literally couldn't believe how large they were.
It felt like you were wearing a denim comforter.
What did I do?
I got used to the swishing noise
and the very slight breeze that were to go up my legs.
The pockets were interesting.
- [Voiceover] Meat pocket.
- They were great, they were relatively functional.
You could fit anything in there,
you could probably fit a small child.
I just put my entire laptop in the back pocket of my pants.
Tuesday was just bad.
The pants drag.
When they get wet, it's like you're wearing a puddle.
Well, my pants finally got stuck on something.
My pants got caught on sewer grates.
I tripped on this.
I avoided escalators at all costs.
They terrify me to begin with.
Wearing JNCO's on top of that,
there was no chance.
The initial rush of wearing the pants has worn out.
People were really, blatantly staring at me.
When I woke up on Wednesday
I just decided that I was gonna go for it.
If people were gonna look at me on the streets
then I might as well give them something to look at.
So I put on a bucket hat and a Crystal Pepsi t-shirt,
and I just went all out with my 90's look.
It felt pretty liberating, it was great.
I really enjoyed it actually.
I just really didn't care what anyone else thought anymore.
So I was feeling great after Wednesday,
and I wake up Thursday and I'm talking to my girlfriend
before we leave the apartment to go to work.
And she tells me that she has a work happy hour,
and then immediately remembered
that I was wearing JNCO Jeans all week
and immediately disinvited me.
My girlfriend just texted me that
I seriously should not show up to her work happy hour.
I realized that the experiment had gotten
a little out of control.
(rock music)
I was happy to be wearing them for one last day.
- I love your pants.
- Thanks so much.
I was reflecting on the entire week.
My friend got tickets for the Big East Tournament.
It was this celebration of getting through it all.
It felt like they were throwing a party for me,
even though there was a basketball game going on.
Then I realized coming out of Madison Square Garden
that I had to take escalators.
(rock music)
I get to the top of the escalator and I just, I jumped.
And I was okay.
It was definitely like a culmination of the whole week.
It was this celebration of getting though it all.
I would recommend to anybody to wear
JNCO Jeans for a week.
I think it's a great exercise in stripping away your ego,
and really just trying something different,
and living in someone else's pants.
(upbeat music)
