H.A.S.H. Jeans

Who remembers the early 70s and the amazing era of HASH jeans? I wore a lot of these. Unlike most jeans which had either very stiff snaps or buttons along with a zipper, you fastened them with a block of four (or was it six?) easy to do/undo snaps and no zipper. As they were almost all loose fitting bell-bottoms, they literately fell to the floor when you undid them. Super comfortable and easy to remove. I'm having a difficult time finding much about them on the internet. Someone told me that they were limited in where they were sold and that Western Canada was one of the hotspots. This poster, which features a nude woman, suggests a marketing scheme unlike any I remember from the Pant Shack.

YES.... I remember these. Had a pair and loved them. I can't find any information on them. We used to snap the front pockets open and closed when waiting in line as for something to do. From Saskatoon.

Saskatoon. Mid 1970’s. I had robin’s egg blue brushed suede H.A.S.H. pants. Super wide legs. Brown leather logo patch on back near waist. Snap front! Loved them!!! Wore them with a white shrink that had soft pink & navy stripes over a pale blouse. Long blonde hair. Tan high wedgie sandals. Total vibe!
