Description: These were the first must-have label jeans. They came in a large array of colors and styles with names like "Hi-rise". They were so popular (at least in southern California). After this, many other "label" jeans/clothing became popular. I would LOVE to get my hands on a pair of these. I keep trying e-bay and other sites.

I would just love to find a pair of those ditto Jeans. As a S. Cali girl, I had a pair in each color when in high school. My teenage daughter would just die to see what we then considered "designer label" jeans.
I keep telling people about Ditto Jeans and no one knows what I am talking about. Well I was raised in San Diego, so now I understand why no one in North Carolina knows what I am talking about. I couldn't live with out my ditto jeans. I loved the piping on both hips and the butt of the ones with the back seaming.
I was raised in Palo Alto, CA and Dittos were popular. There were also Luv-Its, which looked somewhat like Dittos. Didn't they call them Dittos because they were supposed to be worn extra tight?
Dittos were THE pants in 6th grade! I remember shopping at Red Eye in So. Cal. to get all my "cool" clothes
I loved my ditto's!!! I worked at a place in 1976 called Miller's Outpost in SoCal and bought them in several colors!! My "best"look was my tan tie died dittos with matching jacket !!LOL
I remember roller skating around in my sky blue satin baseball jacket with my white ditto jeans! Oh so cool!
I was raised in "The O.C" and Dittos worn with a pair of Candies were MUST HAVEs for us in High School! LOVED the butt stitching and the FIT was amazing!
Loved Dittos!! I always considered them my 'dress pants' as I lived in Levi Big Bell jeans. Agree it must have been a California thing about dittos, as I grew up in southern CA; mainly IB, OB, PB & MB.
Ditto's were'nt only a California thing - I moved from Mississippi in 77 and was so glad my ditto's made me fit right in to the Northern California crowd. I've tried to explain to my daughter how the fit and the butt seam was the best!! she doesn't get it. Can someone please bring them back?
I loved Dittos too! I loved being a teenager in the 70's. it was all good....I moved to Alabama 10 years ago and no one has ever heard of Dittos here. It's nice to read all of these comments to learn that they were a California thing and it wasn't just me that loved them. :)
Not just in California, but also in EL Paso, TX...I remeber my mother buying me a pair and it fell in love with these jean. I had different colors, since my mom was cool and let me have more than one pair!!
I had 5 pairs of them in Coral,Navy Blue, Baby Blue and Brown. I also had a pair of the Sailor style also. I just recently found a picture of me wearing a pair. I put that picture on my Facebook and eveyone went nuts when they saw my Ditto's. All the guys were like Auh Ditto's.:) Too Funny!! Wish they would make them again as a blast from the past come back. :)
Not only do I remember them, but I grew up in Huntington Beach and that's all I wore. Because I was adopted, my name legally became Ditto. Besides the fact that my dad worked for Xerox, the name "Ditto" just seemed to "fit". Pretty wild that they are back "in".
I grew up in the Los Feliz part of LA. I wore them at the end of the craze just before Chemin de Fer, Jordache and Calvins. I was in elementary school, 4th, 5th grade but I was tall for a 10 year old (5'ft). I also remember Cherokee platform sandals which I never wore because I was too young. I'm 41 now.
in 1978 I was offically certified a Ditto Girl at May co. stores in Los Angeles
As a guy growing up in N. CA in the 70's, Ditto's are still one of my best memories of High School. We could identify most of the girls in our class without ever seeing their face.
I remember driving all over Santa Ana and Orange looking for Dittos for my sister. She was in jr high at the time and I was in elem school. I also remember chemin de fer jeans.
They were THE greatest camel toe pants ever made. And all the girls wore the without shame. God I loved the 70's.
These were THE pants. I had at least 6 different colors. Roller Skating at Skate King every Saturday night. Those were the days
Loved my Dittos!! In San Diego we wore them with Sabicca Platform sandals (
I also LOVED my Ditto jeans, and just got back to my "San Diego" size and started looking for Ditto jeans......I'm back home in Minnesota. Can anyone tell me where the closest store to buy some is? gypsy63@juno.com
Thanx!
I LOVED and lived in my dittos & platforms... It really had to be a "San Diego" or Southern Cali thing ..My dittos, the skating rink every Sat..then came Jordach and Calvin...Gawd life was great in the 70's ! I'd give anything to re-live that era..
OMG my step sister just told me that Dittos were coming back .. right on, back in the 70's Northern Cali rocked Dittos.. boy don't we all feel old, Sonoma Co and Santa rosa yeah baby
I miss the cut of Dittos. For a while, Lee Riders did the tapered waist I need with two darts in the back, to either side of the tailbone. They've now dropped it and I have the big balloon gap at the middle belt loop again. I refuse to buy if it has the bulge (or anything low rise).
Being raised by my father of course I was raised in boy cloths. My mom bought me my first girl jeans which were Ditto Jeans. They fit so nice and made me feel like a girl. Wish I could find them again.
I loved Dittos. Grew up in SoCal and moved in High School to Houston, Texas in '77. Not the "in" pants for Texas. It was all about Jordache, Guess and Gloria Vanderbilts. Hated packing up my Dittos!!
I'm 26...found out about Ditto's through the designer of Frankie B Jeans (that I have a few pairs of and love). Dittos are sold on the Frankie B site and I cannot wait to get my hands on a pair of the claissics! www.frankieb.com
I've been looking for these jeans as well. I'm only 14, but I love the 70's. Esp. the music and clothing. If anyone knows of an offline place where I could find them that would be great!
I really loved my Ditto's! I had them in many colors and styles including the saddleback version! I grew up in Southern California back in the 70's and these were a must have item for back to school. I am so glad that recently I unpacked a box that held a pair of light blue ditto shorts that I wore in the summer of '76, what memories :)
