1. For jeans that look like they came from a fucking thrift store, no less.

People are stupid.

[laheina]

3. Ha ha!

I know several of those fashion victim types, but one in particular just bought a holed-up pair of versaces. That cash would have bought my groceries for a couple of months. I donut get it. :shrug:

[ghostsofgiants]

11. Fucking hipsters.

I've always hated "designer" shit, but when the whole "vintage" look became the huge designer trend, I was torn between increasing my hatred, and laughing my ass off...then I realized I could do both.

[Ariana Celeste]

2. that is ridiculous

I can't hardly, even justify paying $20 for jeans, but I do because otherwise I would be pantless. Anything over $20 is food, drink, or smoke that I can't buy

[Oeditpus Rex]

6. Okay, wait

Let's discuss this "pantless" thing.

:evilgrin:

[Ariana Celeste]

9. walked right into that didn't i?

:P

:hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

14. Well, y' gotta consider

that I'm a pig, too.

[JohnKleeb]

4. Thats stupid

[Starbucks Anarchist]

5. Did Jesus wear them?

That's the only thing that could justify the price.

[SeattleGirl]

7. True religion? Yeah. To worship the allmighty dollar!

God!

[FuzzySlippers]

8. When I get bleach streaks on my jeans,

I sorta consider them ruined. But apparently it increases the value tenfold. Who knew?:shrug:

[Whoa_Nelly]

10. Looks a lot like the jeans from my Hippie Trippy Chick days

I swear! We used to rip and patch just like this.

Hippies--Always ahead of the fashion game :rofl:

[philosophie_en_rose]

18. Those jeans would cost $2.99 at a thrift store.

If they weren't in the "free" bin.

I can't believe what people will pay for. I have anxiety attacks spending that much on suits. (Therefore, I shop outlets and ebay).

[Bridget Burke]

27. In my Hippie days, we patched them to cover the rips.

The Punks let the rips show, with a few safety pins for decoration. ("Deconstruction"--so intellectual.)

So some rich idiots will pay hundreds for "retro" looks!

[TreasonousBastard]

12. Fuck 'em, and I've seen $600 jeans...

that I say fuck them, too.

They may be made in the US, but that ain't worth a couple of hundred bucks to me. And I bet they ain't made in a union shop.

These things are sold in Barney's and Nordstrom's fer chrissake! Trust fund assholes and wannabe hiphoppers can buy all the jeans they want at Henri Bendel, too, but real people get jeans at Jembro for 10 bucks.

I'd pay 20 if Jembro's weren't made in China, but what the hell... 10 bucks is 10 bucks.

[hfojvt]

13. much better to just get something affordable from

The Gap

[NMMNG]

15. As if

I don't pay $20 for a pair of jeans. $319 would buy me an entire wardrobe for crying out loud, and some numbnuts spends all that on one pair of jeans? :eyes:

[Binka]

16. Do They Guarantee You'll Get Laid Every Time You Wear Them?

Otherwise NFW!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

21. Hell, even getting some isn't worth THAT much!

:D

[SmileyBoy]

17. 319 bucks?? Are they made of Platinum??

Sheesh...

[Radio_Guy]

19. For that price

they sure as heck better NOT make me look fat!

[radwriter0555]

20. All the 'models' are airbrushed with highlights to give them HUGE dicks!

.. talk about subliminal advertising!

"Buy THESE jeans and you will have a HUGE penis."

Check out the second one down, all the way to the right.

*DAYUM*

Not that I would notice or nuthin.

[xchrom]

22. thanks for the link -- i like those.

and they're cheaper than my dolce and gabanas.

[Heidi]

23. .

:spray: Not that we're judgmental here in the lounge, or anything. :spray:

[xchrom]

24. ...

:rofl:

:toast: i know i'm a clothes {w}horse.

[Heidi]

26. That's the very reason I hadn't posted in this thread.

When I'm painting, I wear Levi's 501s; men's, white V-neck Fruit-of-the-Loom T-shirts, socks and Birkies. But my nice stuff is _nice_. :blush: Hey, I live an hour from Milan. Wanna go shopping? ;)

[Binka]

33. Hey That Is My Working Wardrobe! I Have My Light Blue Birks On Today!

My nice stuff is REALLY nice too. I also am a glasses w{horse}. I have MANY pairs that cost more than those jeans! Oops. Oh well.

[Heidi]

34. Ciao, Binka!

:hi:

[xchrom]

35. i LOVE to shop in paris!

and i'ld love to shop in milan and rome.

i'm looking for a certain men's designer from belgium -- haute.

i don't don't think it's raf simmon's -- but it might be.

[Heidi]

39. Is it

Dries Van Noten? http://www.driesvannoten.be/

Kris van Assche? http://www.krisvanassche.com/

[xchrom]

40. he did the rolling stones tour this year or last.

oh god his stuff is beautiful.

but i love dries van notn and i've owned his stuff in the past.

i don't know van assche -- so i'll have fun looking at his stuff.

[xchrom]

38. now if i were younger -- i'ld wear these.

i love them for my trashy moods.

25. I buy mine at Walmart for 17.00.

And they seem to wear just fine. Course they don't have all the fancy embroidery.

[Dangerously Amused]

28. Do these jeans make my wallet look fat?

People, people. Don't rip on the jeans - they are doing us a public service. From a single glance at the jeans/label, we can know instantly who is filthy (rich), shallow and foolish. Then we can waste no time or beer on them in social situations.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

29. Also makes it easier to know who to rob.

;)

[Dangerously Amused]

30. Hee hee!

:spray:


Oh you. Always the entrepreneur! Clever boy. :)

[Starbucks Anarchist]

32. Know what I'd do with the money?

Spend some, then donate the rest to an organization against the repeal of the estate tax. :D

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

31. Geez...I was once harassed for spending $88 on jeans.

That's a lot more reasonable. Anyway, I have a really hard time finding jeans that fit right. Abercrombie & Fitch and Lucky Brand fit me the best, so I spend the money. I also keep them forever.

Hell, right now I'm wearing Doc Martens that are ten years old and have a hole in the side of them. I try to remember not to wear them on wet days. I kept my birkenstocks until they were literally falling to pieces and all the scotch tape, staples and glue stick couldn't help them. Although, my coworker was incredibly amused by me sitting behind her vitamin counter with my "tools."

[Alleycat]

36. Has anyone ever tried on a pair of these jeans?

While out shopping with my daughter who is 14 we did give them a try. Neither one of us can find a good pair of jean that fit. Me because I'm shorter only about 5'4. The regular jeans are always way too long and the short jeans too short. Not to mention the fact that I hate the whole low rise thing since 20 extra lbs and a cesarean knock me out of ever looking good in them.
She has just the opposite issue. Although she is only 5'7 she has extremely long limbs, both arms and legs. And about 110 lb soaking wet. Every pair she tries on are too short or don't fit thru hips and ass correctly. These jeans actually fit her perfectly! OK don't go all ballistic on me yet. NO NO NO, I did not buy her $200.00 jeans but I'm just saying that with her body type they were a perfect fit. Lucky we were able to get a pair at American Eagle (size 4 long) which are passable. But still these were $50.00.

[DrGonzoLives]

37. Give me $15, a box knife and a belt sander

And I can make you the same jeans.
