Corona Beach Club shirts
Polos with the collars up
Members Only jackets...with the sleeves up to your elbows.
Brut.
ahh the 80's.
Hammer Pants were at the tail end of the 80's ... but they'd have made a better point with parachute pants. or Z. Cavarrichi's or whatever the they were...
In my defense, Urkel used to always say that too.
I am all for erasing the '80s from the history of mankind.
Weren't they part of the MC Hammer craze in 90-93? I may be wrong.....I killed a brain cell or two back then.
That's where he (the show's writers) got it....that commercial was awful.

Admit it SW....you were rocking the Jordaches....or the GV's or Sergio Valentes (Which we would call Sergio Preventes because they were so tight they were tough to get into)Hammer Pants were at the tail end of the 80's ... but they'd have made a better point with parachute pants. or Z.
