How and why did Timbs go from construction workers to black youth fashion in 90s NY?

It started with Wu-Tang from what I was told.

Advice for my Timbs wearing, brehs: invest in some Force Fields

Constructs cost Damn near 2 hundred now. These'll prevent that crease that fvcks up the crisp look.

Good question.

There were no hip-hop fashion brands in the 80s. Most of the men in the households worked factory construction or entry level labor jobs or trades so workgear was popular at the time, This is why also in the late eighties early 90s you were seeing bands like Nirvana, PEarl Jam, Soundgarden rocking flannels and dikkies. Cause army navy stores, true value and places of the like were alot more accessible in those places than lets say...the mall. Eventually you had cats that were first rocking it, then people followed suit...then the suits (in NYC and LA)a saw the trend and was mass marketing the fukk out of it in the malls and on TV. Pretty soon you saw rappers on YO! wearing tims, grunge fashion on shows like Boy Meets World on ABC, and all of that stuff really just became "mainstream" right there. I'd say this was 95/96.

By 1997 though, grunge fashion was pretty much dead, and along with the timbs there were few "major" hip-hop fashion brands that came out of that "demand" for that style.

People got to understand, that was before the internet...so pretty much TV (MTV specficially if you were young in the 90s) and magazines were what you were looking at to find the newest fashions and art and muisc and whatever. Then you had to seek it out on your own. IT's hard to imagine in this time were the internet makes everything accessible

Yep, we made Filas shoes, Adidas shoes, and Adidas sweat suits go from Euro hippy stuff to street gear.

Because the baggy look was in big time and you'd look dumb with some baggy jeans draped over normal sneakers. Timbs got the nice thick (no homo) sole, the toe cap is bigger than sneakers and the upper is large enough to tuck some of the jeans into

just gonna disrespect TROOP like that huh that brand was born out of the world famous JEW MAN'S sneaker shop in the bronx

also i think the flannel and jeans of the so-called grunge era was a middle finger to the spandex and leather of hair metal more than anything. it was punk fashion without the leather, because leather was made prissy by motley crue and poison by then

all of this was "in" well before 95/96 btw

Yea you're right...i forgot about Troop. The brand ll made famous back then that was before my time honestly. I really started noticing hip hop fashion when i was a youngster with cross colors.

Imo...90s fashion was a big middle finger to 80s fashion. You couldnt really find jeans that were tight as fukk to wear they all had that samw disgusting light blue tint to them and the denim was really thick on those.

I agree with you on punk fashion and grunge fashion and how hair metal damn near ruined it.
