My wife bought a pair of blue jeans last night for $150!
One hundred and fifty U.S. dollars…for jeans!!!
She says they feel comfy, they fit like a glove, and I have to admit she looks awesome in them, but she’d look pretty awesome in a $20 pair too…
We complain alot around here about the price of our toys, but this jean thing is pure marketing genius. I saw an article recently that asks the question, “How much are we willing to spend for a pair of blue jeans?”
There are some for sale way over $300. And people are buying them like crazy…you could entirely fill that crotchety-old Lavender room with all that this says about our society…
I bet they look great on her. I love expensive jeans. They really are much more comfortable and make your butt look great. I have 4 pairs so far. Watch out, once you have that first pair, the cheap ones don’t look so good anymore…
I used to spend $40 per pair of jeans and I now spend $100-150 per pair. The $40 pairs didn’t last more than a year or two and are very uncomfortable compared to the $100 jeans that I just bought. Plus the more expensive jeans fit a lot better and the material is more comfortable against the skin. Now, I’m all about paying good money for a pair of quality jeans.
or undergarments…or hair appointments…or makeup from the department stores.
who makes said jeans? i know nothing about expensive jeans. please someone fill me in! who makes the best jeans? (BTW I do not have long and skinny hollywood thighs–I’m only 5’4 1/2 with stronger thighs… maybe they won’t look good on a shorter person?)
C’MON PEOPLE!!! There’s gotta be a line of diminishing returns here! We all agree that a $2000.00 bike is better than a 500.00 bike but is a 3k bike really that much better than the 2k bike?
I can’t believe that cotton fabric with stitching should cost that much AND take into account the fact that not much clothing is made where people earn a decent wage…
I have a hard time believing it’s not all marketing crap.
You know what, shoes I don’t mind so much. There’s almost no limit to what I’d pay, and I know there’s absolutely no limit to what my wife would!
But at least with shoes you get the idea that there’s some sort of superior construction “thing” going on that leads to greater comfort, and nowhere is that more important than with your feet.
I’m a huger believer in “you get what you pay for.” And, when given a choice, I most always pick the more expensive item, (usually foolishly) thinking it’s got to be “better.”
But that’s really not going on here with this jean stuff. This is just the logical next step to the “Jordache” phenomenon from more than 20 years ago. Everyone had to have those too, even thought they were double the price. But these days of extreme excess, the price differential is 4x, 6x, 10x !!!. I wonder where, or if, it will stop.
I’m on a college clothing budget so here it goes. I just picked up two pairs of jeans at target for a grand total of $27. I’ve never had a really “good” pair of expensive jeans that fit/feel great but I have had a few pairs of the cheapest jeans around and they have lasted me 3 years through pretty nasty winters. For those of you not ready to make the leap to designer jeans I would suggest Timberland or low end Wranglers at Target or Wal Mart. Timberland actually sells a lot of stuff really cheap, great for the college budget!
Most people would rather shell out $200 for a pair of jeans that make their @ss look good than do something about the size and shape of their ass…Unless they REALLY have a lot of money, and then they just get liposuction.
Note…I’m not addressing anyone’s ass on this thread specifically…just making general observations.
The accused pair of denim pantaloons in this case were expertly manufactured buy a company known as “Seven” or “Seven for Humanity”, or some other trite yet enormously “cool” name.
According to the “very cool” sales-person, the’re “very hot”!
the thing with a lot of the expensive jeans is that they do flatter most women. note that i said women, not teens, movie stars, etc. i am short too, and i could NOT find jeans for years. then there was the whole super low waist jeans phase that required a brazilian bikini wax in order to wear most of the jeans available…
try Citizens of Humanity or Seven. I’m a citizens fan. they are extremely flattering, last a long time, and go with everything. You can pick them up on Ebay for 1/2 price once you know the size and style you like.
And I don’t want to hear it from the dudes. Go spend money on your bike.

Guess they weren’t satisfied with just selling bikes. Are they titanium?
