That means that they are ripe for a comeback. If not at least a brief foray into one-hit wonder territories like the apple bottom jeans or the 90s box cut.

Last seen among Rwandese men almost a hundred years ago. It has lines sleeker than a fighter jet and the streamlined quality of a predatory raptor. This really has to make a comeback.
