Jeans/denim that are no longer trendy at the moment, but they were in a previous cycle.
Similar to comparing the big city trends to the suburban trends, and how the suburbs are often one-step behind the more modern city trends (Portland, Oregon versus Salem, Oregon in this example).
Portland (circa 2014): Everyone wearing dark washed, selvedge denim.
Salem (circa 2014): Everyone wearing light washed, bootcut jeans with hammer loops.

When my friend Kevin moved to Portland from Salem, he lamented his current jeans situation: "I need to get some newer jeans for Portland, I got some Salem Ass Jeans right now."
