I read on another site that the photo is from the early 90s. It seemed everybody was dressing like Eses in the early 90s. I've seen photos of black LA gangs dating back to the early to mid 90s dressing in pretty much the same style.

THATS AROUND THE TIME I WAS BANGING AND EVERY WHERE U WENT THE MALLS THE STREETS, EVERYBODY WAS DRESSED THE SAME..THATS WHY A LOT OF OLDER HOMIES ARE GETTING MAD AT THIS SO CALLED NEW SURENOS IN L.A.

Damn, I guess I gotta step my game up. I'll still sport Ben Davis pants with some Joker button up shirts and an occasional Charlie Brown (now that's the 90's shit right there) but for the most part I have to wear long sleeve shirts to cover my tats for work with some nice Solo pants but I'll bring back the old school every now and then.

Size 50...lol...that's some funny shit cause I got the same size shit in my closet but I don't wear em that big no more. I remember in Junior High having size 50's and having the principal make me change into my PE shorts cause they were too big...funny shit. Then I had to go the whole day looking like a fool with PE shorts and knee high socks pulled up with all my shit stuffed in them..lol

Charlie Brown (now that's the 90's shit right there)
actually black folks used to wear that shit in the 50s and 60s in tha south even. alot of these styles thats called "cholo" gear is wut black folks used to wear waaay back in the day, the mesicans just bring it back as a retro type style and call it they own...just like zoot suits and oldies music.....

Yeah they were first made way back in the 50's or 60's but in the 90's everyone was wearing them. You'd see at least 50-60 fools wearing them at high school. As far as black folks wearing them I don't know the only black fool I seen wear them was eazy e.

Back in the day, I was in LA for a funeral, and I was at this store, and some fresh out the pen lookin' OG sweated me because I was rockin' a fade. He said he could tell I was from up top by my haircut. We talked a little bit about life in both spots, and he hipped me to some local stuff, and then I burned one with him at the park. Cool dude.
