They’re not selling in large numbers because people are too poor to buy something better; they’re selling because they’re wildly in fashion. They’re throwbacks to an earlier time, yes, which fits in with the traditionalist/preppy style now very popular with young people. The point is to buy things that represent timeless, classic style that hasn’t changed in the last 50 to 75 years. Or before.

I was totally unaware of this until I read this thread http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3584630  how popular they are.
I must have owned three different pea jackets back in the day 1970s and late 1960s. I loved them. I'm just tickled to death they made a comeback but I don't think bell bottom jeans will. The right woman looked so sexy in them
