Hippies pose with a pair of stiffened jeans while at a commune in Vitrupe, Latvia, 1978. A shirtless hippie stands at center. In front of him, he holds onto a pair of jeans that appear to be stiff and able to stand on their own. He faces slightly to the right but his head is turned towards the camera. Another shirtless man stands to the right of him. He faces towards the camera and rests his hands to his hips. A third man stands in the foreground and in partial view along the left edge; he faces away from camera and is mostly out-of-frame. Trees occupy the background. --Possibly sorted in grouping "Уже Отскаt" (already returned).
