As expected, voter turnout at the polls is low — very low

<p>People who wear pants rejoice: the jeans that outfitted a generation are coming back to outfit America&#8217;s legs in oversized, elaborately decorated denim.</p><p>Jnco, short for &#8220;jean company,&#8221; is a Los Angeles based clothing company specializing in wide-legged jean styles for men and women that gained popularity in the &#8217;90s.</p><p>New designs faithful to the traditional Jnco look can be<a href="http://www.jnco.com/" target="_blank"> pre-ordered now </a>at the company&#8217;s website in advance of the line&#8217;s December release. Characters like the boxing kangaroo, angry bulldog and sassy skunk adorn the nostalgic garments, and some of the pants feature &#8220;racing stripes&#8221; that travel down the sides.</p><p>The jeans, which are being branded as the Heritage Collection, will range in price from $40 to $70 and will feature leg openings of 23&#8221;, 32&#8221; and 36&#8221;.</p><p>Thousands of people have commented on an earlier Weekender post about the jeans, excited for their return&#8212;but, to be fair, there was a near-equal amount of fashionistas against the comeback of the wide-legged denim.</p><p>Are you psyched for this sick fashion throwback? Are you going to get a case of Surge, throw on your Jnco jeans and watch The Splat?! Or would you prefer to to stick with skinny jeans and yoga pants? Let us know!</p><style>

<div class="metaInfo"><bylineMeta><p>Times Leader Staff Report</p></bylineMeta></div><div class="metaInfo"><factboxMeta><p>Our readers shared some thoughts about the JNCO jeans comeback. Here are some of their comments:</p><p><strong>Jessica Corter:</strong> I&#8217;ve seriously missed my JNCO jeans!!! I wore mine until they completely fell apart. I&#8217;m looking forward to getting some more of these amazingly comfy jeans.</p><p><strong>Thomas R. Terbanc:</strong> I&#8217;ve still got like 15 or so pair, some never even worn. I don&#8217;t wear them anymore, but I just never got rid of them. I&#8217;d totally rock them out again.</p><p><strong>Amanda Brannin:</strong> Skinny jeans are terrible on guys but JNCOs are bad on everybody!</p><p><strong>Giovanni D. Martello:</strong> I fear a bunch of 30+ year-olds walking around in giant pants. I&#8217;m not sure the teenagers will give up their skinny style just yet. I&#8217;m about to pull out my UFOs which are timeless. Lol.</p><p><strong>Lou Mimzy:</strong> This is why Daylight Savings Time needs to be abolished. We all turned the clocks back a little too far.</p><p><strong>Robert Garrison:</strong> Bring back the Bugle Boys and the parachute pants. Those are true classics.</p><p><strong>Mary Reed Zuffante:</strong> I had a pair that I had done up with like 500 safety pins and I ended up getting arrested at a rave. Guess who had to take them all out one by one? this girl.</p><p><strong>Michael Dickens:</strong> I enjoyed them back then, but I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;d wear them now. (Maybe)</p><p><strong>Brandon Svatek:</strong> I&#8217;ll admit I wore the hell out of my JNCOs back in high school. I&#8217;m 31 now, and I don&#8217;t think I could ever wear them again, but I&#8217;m glad to see them making a comeback. I&#8217;m going to high-five every teenager I see who dares to wear them.</p><p><strong>Michael Hathaway:</strong> Sweet. Finally pants where my boys can breathe again.</p></factboxMeta></div><div class="metaInfo"><shirttailMeta><p>Reach Gene Axton at 570-991-6121 or on Twitter @TLArts</p></shirttailMeta></div>
