But the best was the bright orange Dittos feel the fit stickers in the shapes of hands. I grew up with every kind of Dittos marketing chotzkie you could think of. All my team mates freaked out at first but then realized we had quite the female fan base! No other teams did. So for instance our flag football jerseys were the 'Dittos Feel the Fit' t-shirts.
My dad was always the sponsor of the team. A funny story is that as with most youngsters I grew up playing little league baseball, flag football etc. Both sides of the hallway were covered with pictures of all the Dittos advertising shoots, ads, behind the scenes pictures of my father and his partners in various settings etc. The entry way hallway was about 20 long into the main apartment. Even though we lived in Utah where the jeans were manufactured, I lived a great deal in Marina Del Rey where we had a high rise apartment. The only tie to Southern California is the main sales showroom was located in Los Angeles. As stated above, Dittos were all over the country and world for that matter.

Growing up my mother along with the other partners wives each drove a Cadillac with Dittos 1, Dittos 2, and Dittos 3 license plates.
Jordache bought the brand from my fathers company JoLene Manufacturing located in Provo Utah in the end of the 70's when they had faded from popularity. They were NOT started by Jordache jeans as another poster mentioned. A lady in Utah was sewing them in her basement. Actually they did not create them, they found them. Yes I am a man so how could a pair of women's (or girls) jeans define my childhood? Because I grew up surrounded by dittos! It was my father along with two other men whom created Dittos back in the early 70's. So funny reading all these comments about a pair of jeans that pretty much defined my childhood. Of course, as a mom now, I could never see myself wearing most of those pants from "back then" although, I might would consider wearing some "original" dittos if they were to be found! LOL
Oh, and someone else mentioned the Chemin de Fers - I KNOW I had those (sailor style) which also leads me to remember the "zip arounds" and "lace-ups" - OH YEAH. I too had dittos in every color - but my favorites were white and the butter yellow. And, of course, that is what WE all are looking for.the "original". Must admit, as I was reading through other's comments, that I got a little excited to think they were bringing back the Dittos - but of course, like most things today's market tries to "revive", the "new" ones are no where near as good as the original. Ahh, Ditto's.they were the best! :) So.so.comfortable, yes they were tight, but somehow you could still do so much in them (including bending over) and yet hmmm no lycra/spandex in them back then.interesting. Got on the internet to Google Dittos (sparked by a chance discussion with a stranger in a 7-Eleven store!) Was really hoping to find some good pictures of them, so I could write up some "memoirs" of growing up in the 70's! Came across this post and started reading other's comments - enjoying the trip down memory lane.
