I totally remember these. We had them in Oregon and everyone wore them. Sort of a bell bottom, and I remember orange striping on the back pockets. Beaverton High School Days.......

In Spanaway Washington, 1979, ninth grade. They fit like a glove. Babysat and lawn mowed for 6 pairs cause Debbie and Melody had them.

These were all the rage in Eugene, OR too. Very comfortable--and very different from the 1990s bell bottoms--SFRG had a high waist. Perhaps it was a Pacific Northwest thing!

Only people in Washington and Oregon wore these jeans. A fashion anomaly.

1978 Junior High in Milwaukie, OR. I loved my cross pockets. I had them in white too!

I had a pair! I lived in Redding, CA and could never find them again. They were great and made your bum look great! I would give anything to have a pair now.

Visited Spokane in 1980. Saw them all over the place. Never saw them again. Very cool design.

I had a pair. Saved up my babysitting money. I lived on McNeil Island, Wahington. When I moved to Memphis, everybody thought I was so out of style ... they were in straight-leg Levis.

iloved my pair and i loved the way they fit but you had to have the cuff rolled up and i always had to press them to get the cuff to stay at just the right width. man i miss those jeans (at least the way they fit)just right.

I loved, loved my Sticky Finger jeans! I grew up in Palo Alto and in high school (1976-1981) these were the "in" jeans to wear. There was a a store on University Avenue that carried these jeans. They fit like a glove! I miss em!

8th grade (77-78) were buckle backs, 9th grade brought X pockets and later lazy S pockets. Tacoma, WA: Squire Shop, The Cube at the Bon, Mr. Ragg's, Knickerbockers, to name a few places they could be found. JC Penney had a juniors dept, but NEVER sold designer jeans. Tops were cute, though. Ah, the days.

These pants were made of heavy 13# denim and the cut definitely shaped your bottom like no other jeans that I've seen ow worn since. When I wore these jeans I had guys flirting with me at least 10 times as often as when I wore those jeans that smashed your figure. I was really sad when they were no longer available. I would give the price of the most expensive jeans available to have them back on the market. Or at least get a sewing pattern.

I designed the logo for San Francisco Riding Gear while working at Sticky Fingers, the parent company for SFRG

I wore the stripped painters paints back in 1980 in Portland, Ore. I loved them, and Kim Kim is right, I loved how they looked on the girls!

Bought a pair in Miami for $55.00 in the early 80's, which was alot of money.Loved them. Moved to NY and searched but never found another pair.

My brother designed everything for San Francisco Riding Gear!!(as far as I know!!) He was the owner of Sticky Fingers and San Francisco Riding Gear. We also had stores in Eugene where we sold them. Unfortunatly, my brother cliff passed away from Alzheimers disease at age 65 last year. These jeans were a phenomenon!! Only sold in the Northwest.

ah, buckle back sfrg. grew up in Olympia and we could buy them at Mr. Raggs. my first pair were hand me downs from my friend Heather's older sister. I felt so cool going to school my first day of 6th grade in those jeans. the alternative was the polyester gaberdine "bend over" slacks my mom bought me... Really mom?

Omg! Theses were the "only" jeans a girl should ever wear! They were cut perfect for nearly every girl! These jeans never wore out, they were amazing! I must have had 20 pair of various styles! I always hemmed them for my correct length. They were hot and I would give anything too have them now...I won't even wear jeans cause they don't fit like those did! Miss them!

Oh how I loved SFRG and Sticky Fingers jeans! I got my first pair when I was in the 5th grade, which would have been about 1978. Bought them at a store called Impulse on Pacific Ave. in Parkland, WA. They had racks and racks of them. My mom almost died when she saw the price, because she was used to buying what I think were called Hobeau jeans at about half the price of SFRG. I was one of the first girls to get them at my school, and I swear within a couple of weeks, everyone that could afford to get them had a pair or three. I wish I had kept a pair in the attic -- hard to find any images of them online. I had no idea that they were a regional thing!

I really think it was a Pacific Northwest thing...Yeah, Jr. High in Spanaway, Wa...Everyone wore them even the dudes... Very embarrassing!!! Horrible Fashion, but they did fit the girls very nicely for back then. Mr. Raggs sales girls got you in those thing. Thank God Levi 501 became the Fashion....I remember seeing some of the old stoners still wearing the SFRG in the early 90's..Horrible fashion but miss those days

So that's why nobody in So Cal has heard of them...they were only in the Pacific NW and maybe Northern CA? SFRG fit me better than Levi's 501 which were straight up and down with no waist. I got mine in 79-80 when I was in 6th grade. A pair of painter pants and one other pair.

I still have 2 pair of them!!! One I wore a lot, the other pair are brand new, unhemmed. I keep hoping I'll lose enough weight to get back in them lol.

Jan Cagle.. sorry about the passing of your brother.. very sad. Maybe you could carry on his memory by reproducing these jeans

If anybody has a pair to sell, please email me. I have a yahoo account and it is Jillbre1

These were the best jeans in the world. Finally got a pair for my birthday in 7th grade. I was so tiny then that my mom had to buy the smallest size for me to grow into. The greatest part was that they tapered at the ankle. I was a very fashion forward 12 year old in Marin County, CA

i have a pair of SFRG jeans in like new condition that I would like to sell if anyone is interested. They are the ones with the red x on the back at the center of the waist and red Xs stitched on the back pockets. Huge bell bottom legs and they are size 26" waist and 35" inseam. Email me at beth@melendy.com if interested.

I had a pair in 1981. They were great! I loved them. They were the coolest jeans around. What happened to them? I'd love to have another pair!

I had 3 pairs in Jr high. 2 Blue and 1 RR stripe. Loved them.

Just found a pair of these at a thrift store. Love the comments, I'll probably sell them. I love to find vintage and match it with someone who loves it.

I remember I got my first pair in the 6th grade and wore them until they were thread bare! I still don't know how my Mom came up with the money to buy them for me!! We lived in Eugene, Oregon and were pretty poor back then!
