Very Special Jeans Commercial

October 27, 2012 by WendyB

Forget about Brooke Shields and her Calvins. One of the greatest jeans ads of all time — OF ALL TIME — is the one Duluth Trading did for its “Ballroom” jeans.

I thought this was a joke when I first saw it, but it’s real, y’all.

      When I saw it on TV I though I was watching an SNL rerun and that it couldn’t be real.

    Ahaha, that’s awesome.. Although possibly practical. I know I’ve gotten on board with wearing tights with a tushy panel in the back. It solves that ride-up/ride-down problem.
