Vintage Denim online Miniskirt - 80's - Vintage JImmy'Z Skirt - Streetwear - Skatewear - Vintage California Brand - Juniors Size - Clothing - Skirt

Jimmy'Z denim mini-skirt.
This upscale streetwear brand took a great amount of attention away from the leading brands of the '80's such as Guess, due to the fact that they were made so well, and it was apparent in their look and wear.
Please note this is a online very small skirt.
Dark blue, sturdy denim, thick stitching.
Classic 5-pocket jean style, featuring the mini-pocket outside, very unique and thoughtful design.
So quality, we love this skirt as this is a keeper; thick quality denim ready for years of versatile wear. How perfect for a bikini-bottom cover to run into the snack and souvenir shop!
Sturdy. Shapely. No signs of previous wear.
Clean. No issues. ready to wear.
Please Note - This skirt is TINY!!! The tag does say 6, but this is not a modern 6. This is a juniors brand, which in the 1980's were usually sized in odd numbers like 3/4, 5/6, 7 and so forth. We see this more as a 3/4 - please measure and compare your favorite skirt for perfect fits.
'Jimmy'Z' tag states 6, and the measurements are:
15 inches across waist (30 around),
12 inches long (top to bottom).

In the early 1980s, Jimmy Ganzer was a surfer and artist living in Malibu Beach, CA.

I slid into third base headfirst, got up, dusted myself off. And I went, “F***, why didn't some surfer ever come up with an idea where the pants don't fall off like this?” Inside of the waistband on these baseball pants was a woven nylon belting. That belting did not move. And I went “Wow, what if I used that belting and Velcro on the side over here?” And I stood there on third base for about that long. And I went, “That's a good idea.”[1]

The shorts he created became known as E-Z-In, E-Z-Out shorts, and the idea quickly took off, finding a natural home not only amongst surfers but in the skateboard community during the boom of the 1980s, as the lack of a belt buckle or button prevented discomfort while paddling out on a surfboard, bending to grab the board beneath your feet or when falling from a skateboard onto a hard surface. Ganzer, along with partner Sepp Donahower built the brand into one of the hottest youth brands in North America.

During the 1980s, the brand grew and grew, eventually sponsoring famous skateboarders such as Steve Caballero and Christian Hosoi, before Jimmy Ganzer and partner Sepp Donahower sold the brand to Ocean Pacific in 1987, and then Ocean Pacific later sold it to a chain of multiple owners ending up with Aéropostale (clothing) during skateboarding's downturn at the start of the 1990s. Aeropostale kept the brand going as an upscale surf-orientated brand, but ceased all activity in 2009.
