    What the hell is wrong with people.

    • akira117, on 07/02/2008, -1/+60lol they should sell one with ***** stains :D
      • akira117, on 07/02/2008, -0/+10In the commercial they have a video of a Chinese boy taking a sh*t on the jeans, going on about his diet and the originality of each stain.
    • pintomp3, on 07/02/2008, -1/+57i think they also make shirts and hats styled that way. i even saw some mexicans with their arms and hair in similar styling. they said they were coming home from work. must have been casual friday.

    • hiteshsharma, on 07/02/2008, -1/+3Well guys dont take this seriously it was just by an Accident that some one dropped paint on his jeans..
      In future if you accidentally do any damage to your pair of jeans, you'll know where to go.

      Somebody's eye sore is others Fashion!!
      • andrew1338, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2More like one man's laundry is another man's fashion.

        If they don't mind grease instead of paint, I can make 5 of these a week. :)
        I get my work jeans at Goodwill for $5 too. I could make a killing selling them for $200.
      • hiteshsharma, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1Well.. this stuff ought to be for those fashion buff Rich Guys who never get to fade, damage, ruin their jeans because they just dont have to do such manual stuff.. Say like Paris Hilton.. They just think its cool to sport a rugged look sometimes..
        For other people like me such things just look like "Oww you s(p)oiled your New Jeans"
    • nicerobot, on 07/02/2008, -12/+6I like them but I wouldn't pay. I just make them over time through normal wear and tear. _BUT_ ... style is personal. Everyone will not like something about someone else's personal taste. So the ***** what?! Either keep you mouth shut or prepare to be criticized yourself for being a douche.
    • TenaciousDan2, on 07/02/2008, -0/+1The only way i would pay for pants with shotgun holes in it is if i got to shoot it myself... preferrably with the guy who sells these wearing them.
    • thecarpe, on 07/02/2008, -0/+15I have a $500 Ass Hat for sale. It can come with or without paint.

    • boombye, on 07/02/2008, -0/+2Oh god they probably weren't even made in Japan. I think they're trying to compete with Bathing Apes and Ebisu types.
    • SOhp101, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2They're just jumping onto the designer jeans bandwagon--it's quite a lucrative market.
    • skylights, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2Can we bring back the word "poseur" now?
  • DietMountainDew, on 07/02/2008, -20/+405Am I going to be the only one who says this?

    Looked like it was a fun night.
    • Defuser, on 07/02/2008, -98/+8Oh, I get it. You're gay, and therefore this automatically reminded you (and the other gay men who Dugg you Up) of being covered in semen. Yessir, that's hilarious. You gay men are so very funny.
      • HonestAbe, on 07/02/2008, -0/+64Ummmm. I didn't read that in his comment at all. What have YOU been thinking about all day?
      • iticu, on 07/02/2008, -2/+21Am I the only one that didn't understand the joke before they read this reply?
      • Elvaanish, on 07/02/2008, -1/+16Because lame-ass references to hetrosexual sex never happen on digg. Yessir, double standards sure are great!
      • Narcism, on 07/02/2008, -0/+16but.... gay women are okay right?
      • coyote1284, on 07/02/2008, -0/+26Someone's projecting!

      • cloudeh, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2someone could've had a few too many lap dances the night before.
    • Brew, on 07/02/2008, -26/+1Sure, if you swing that way I guess...
      • Defuser, on 07/02/2008, -32/+1Apparently, he does. And he called up a couple dozen of his boyfriends to Digg him Up. I'll bet they all have photos that look EXACTLY LIKE this.
      • H1tchh1k3r, on 07/02/2008, -1/+3SOMEBODY must be from where all the homophobes live.
      • NotOptium, on 07/02/2008, -0/+11At no point while reading his comment did it seem to me that anything he said was even remotely homosexual. After reading your--and Defuser's--reply, I have to wonder why you both instantly thought it was a gay reference, and on top of that, why you're both reacting with so much hostility towards what you--falsely--perceived to be a gay joke.

        Doesn't take a degree in psychology to understand what's going on here...
      • Brew, on 07/03/2008, -0/+3I think the problem is that you took the comment too seriously it was a joke, DietMountainDew is actually a friend of mine on digg (whatever that means). Just a joke, kind of like his comment was a joke. The fact that there was SOO much paint on the jeans...get it? I was taking the joke a step further...apparently too far. I did not mean anything offensive by it.
    • belebih, on 07/02/2008, -0/+106No, no! It was a ghost... a spooky ghost! He slimed me! Did you see it?
    • IglooBurner, on 07/02/2008, -2/+38If I have 200 bucks to spare, and this pare of jeans will make any cute girl in a bar think "Wow I like this guy's vintage and rugged style, I would like to have sex with him tonight with no commitments". I will buy this jeans, otherwise, no.
      • Mononuclear, on 07/02/2008, -1/+20You can make your $20.00 pair of jeans look vintage for much less.
      • SourSlurpee, on 07/02/2008, -13/+10"If I have 200 bucks to spare, and this pare of jeans..."
        It's spelled "pair".
      • jonnyuoit, on 07/02/2008, -2/+24thanks for the clarification, because nobody could tell what he actually meant..
      • sjclovesjc, on 07/02/2008, -1/+2I see what you did there.

        Brilliant correction.
      • tiegamma7, on 07/02/2008, -0/+6Just pay the girl $200 dollars and look wealthy rather then spending $200 on the jeans and looking like a lowly painter.
    • JT114881, on 07/02/2008, -0/+43Heh Heh Heh... Im going to be rich, I have a bunch of jeans that look just like that in the laundry.
      • passedoutghost, on 07/02/2008, -0/+2Just be sure to remove the tag and sew on a new one from Calvin Klein

      *****.
  • wonderbriefs, on 07/02/2008, -7/+480Personally, I love that damaged jeans are popular. I just did 4 years working in a print shop where my jeans got ink-spilled, grease-stained, and torn. Without having any skill with a sewing machine I cut up a bandanna and patched the jeans a little here and there. Before long people were asking where they I bought them. I'm like, "JC Penny, five years ago, and they were new looking at the time."
    • Schrodinger2, on 07/02/2008, -0/+78I know some mexican drywallers that have jeans that look like that. If you didn't know it was coming from them, I'm sure they could get 250 bucks for them too.
      • userperson, on 07/02/2008, -12/+3Mexican drywallers shop at J-Crew? /s
    • IKORKYI, on 07/02/2008, -31/+3considering jc penny jeans are like 20 bucks, i would save myself the public display of douchebaggery by not proving i owned a bandana and buy a new pair.
    • ybnormalman, on 07/02/2008, -29/+20I think the big difference here is that your jeans GOT ink-spilled, grease-stained, and torn. You didn't pay a ridiculous $285.00 for fake ***** "wear and tear" style jeans.
    • vMsam, on 07/02/2008, -12/+5did anyone else but me think that was some form of high-quality jizz?

      • passedoutghost, on 07/02/2008, -4/+0Jizz from Hugh Heffner himself.....actually that's not really high quality considering he hasn't knocked up anyone.
      • kokuei, on 07/03/2008, -0/+8No.
    • FoxOrian, on 07/02/2008, -0/+19It's strange that some people just don't realize that labor with dirty materials can actually do that to clothes.
      "You mean ink stains and paint splatters aren't something made up by top designers...?"
      Eugh.

      I guess it's easy to see why some brands take advantage of the used/dirty look. Some people just think it can't be done through time and use.
      • crzdmn, on 07/02/2008, -0/+6Hahahahaha, so true man.

        How often do people you know refuse to get their "boots" dirty or their jacket wet?
    • wellyuk, on 07/02/2008, -0/+3Those jeans sound pretty cool. I've got nearly $300 in my pocket. Would you take that for them?

    Small can of paint = $3.95
    Cost of Chinese labor =$ .09

    J. Crew Profit = $ 130.96
    Some things can be done on your own.... For everything else there's cheap foreign labor!
    • StealthMonkey, on 07/02/2008, -39/+71. Buy J Crew jeans
      2. ???
      3. Profit
    • qpingu, on 07/02/2008, -0/+57I'm sure the jeans cost much less than that. I don't see how anybody can justify spending triple digits on strips of denim put together by, *gasp*, cheap foreign labor!
      • Asheis, on 07/02/2008, -1/+19Hey, it's a very special type of denim.

        One might say... super denim.
      • coyote1284, on 07/02/2008, -0/+21I don't see how anybody can justify spending triple digits on strips of denim, period.
    • lukemit, on 07/02/2008, -0/+9And the shipping is free too! How can you turn that down?
    • starsarebent, on 07/02/2008, -9/+178Okay prepare to digg me down, but I'm just stating a fact.

      Most "hand crafted designer" clothes aren't made in China. They're made by the designer in his or her own workshop. I'm not saying this is the case with these particular jeans, but I personally know a handful of designers. When one of them told me his jeans are going for $250, I had the same reaction.

      However, he went on to explain that the military grade denim material he uses is $50 a square yard. He then takes an industrial grinder and "damages" them by hand. All staining is done by hand just as an artist would paint a canvas.

      I'm not saying I'd buy pants this expensive, however, I'm pointing out that it's an art style. Wearable.

      @ everyone who thinks this is "CRAP"> This is the style right now. How old are you? Well think back to when you were a kid wearing bell bottoms and long hair. Remember how short shorts used to be back in the 70's? Well that was the style then. Just relax and accept that there's a new generation who has a new style. No need to repeat the same reaction your parents had when you came home with a man-perm.
      • duffman03, on 07/02/2008, -25/+3Every paint splatter is the same on every pair of jeans, all 20,000 of them. They aren't handmade by the designer.
      • xenuxenuts, on 07/02/2008, -7/+85So the style is to spend a fortune to make it look like you have a manual labor job? I guess the next generation will pay $200 for vintage McDonalds uniforms.
      • urothane, on 07/02/2008, -0/+33Back in the early '90s I bought as many 7-11, Circle K, McDonalds, Burger King and Taco Bell shirts as I could find and wore them all the time skating. That lasted a year.
      • dfeifer, on 07/02/2008, -3/+4
        Yea,.. you can call them basketball shorts all you want, I'm sorry, but it looks like your wearing a skirt to me. Call it a Skort, or nickers if you want.
      • starsarebent, on 07/02/2008, -1/+10@ urothane> LOL I remember doing that. Did you used to ask to use the restroom, and steal them from the locker room on the way, like I did?

        @duffman03> I clearly stated "I'm not saying this is the case with these particular jeans, but I personally know a handful of designers." I guess I wasn't clear. SOME jeans are made like this. Not all. Not your typical American Eagle, but when you find "DESIGNER" jeans. "Designer" clothes is a term used loosely these days, but that's a different story.
      • hotpuck6, on 07/02/2008, -0/+11Dugg for "man-perm".
      • Iztikeit, on 07/02/2008, -12/+2It is crap, because ALL fashion is crap. Anything that changes every three years and varies from culture to culture is total B.S.

        Defend painted paints all you want, that's just more amusement for me.
      • starsarebent, on 07/02/2008, -3/+11WOW!

        "It is crap, because ALL fashion is crap"

        I think it was Thomas Jefferson that said something to the effect of "On matters of style, swim with the current, on matters of principle, stand like a rock." So go ahead and wear your loin cloth and live in the pages of history. I for one, enjoy living in 2008.

        "Anything that changes every three years and varies from culture to culture is total B.S."

        Hmm.. I see your point. Like economy? Music? Technology? You're right, those are all "B.S.".

        "Defend painted paints all you want, that's just more amusement for me."

        Painted "PAINTS"? I don't know what you're saying here... so you laugh because we repaint something that has been painted? Orr...?
      • Serrellious, on 07/02/2008, -7/+1Decent points, bad delivery. Don't bash typos, you look retarded.
      • dezholling, on 07/02/2008, -0/+7Just posting it as a joke, I'm not on either side of the issue, but I'm a big fan of Oscar Wilde quotes in general and this particular one applies:

        "Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months."
      • starsarebent, on 07/02/2008, -3/+2HA! Nice. Or to coin one from The Offspring, "I'm not a trendy *****. Do what I want, do what I feel like."
      • desertDenizen, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1You're describing Recursive Curmudgeonism.
      • pixelfishfood, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2"So the style is to spend a fortune to make it look like you have a manual labor job?"

        Exactly. What did you think tanning beds were for?
      • urothane, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1@starsarebentstarsarebent No, I went legit and got weird looks. I had a friend that tried to do that and spent 4 days in jail, so I knew better. I walked up to the counter and asked to buy the shirt. They found all sorts of reasons why I couldn't but I eventually got one. Sometimes I would find them at thrift stores as well, but I wanted the really new crisp looking ones.
    • jabberwolf, on 07/02/2008, -5/+17J. Crew jeans = $150.00 ??

      Um your forgetting they make them for 20 bucks each!
      But shipping and delivery costs about 2 per pair of jeans.... so make that $22.
      So tack on another $128 of profit.
      • mikev, on 07/02/2008, -3/+11I really doubt a pair of selvedge denim costs 20 bucks to make...
      • Samg85, on 07/02/2008, -1/+2Selvedge demin material usually cost anywhere from 10 to 40 dollars. Add labour and other materials, and the total cost to make those jeans would be from 30 to 70 dollars. I know because I have to friends that design clothes.

    • frequentFlyer, on 07/02/2008, -1/+3...cheap child labor.

      fixed that.
    • punkcat, on 07/02/2008, -2/+20when did the price of chinese labor go up?
      • bloosteak, on 07/02/2008, -3/+2it has yearly
      • chaosblade77, on 07/03/2008, -1/+3It's not actually going up. It's just the value of US currency dropping.
    • staticxsoad, on 07/02/2008, -4/+0hooray for cheap foreign labor!
    • khail250, on 07/02/2008, -0/+8hmm, labor isnt so cheap anymore in china.. I own a factory over there, and spend half my time in NYC and half in China. they make ~ 110-150/month for unskilled labor. Now I live in GREAT standard of living over there, and i do NOT need to spend more than 600-750/month. in NYC i live in a two bedroom ***** for 1900/month. I would just argue that labor reflects quality of living.. They get paid less but they also live better than most people in NYC, since most people here that are uneducated has 5 roomates anyway.
      • bxblox, on 07/02/2008, -0/+8you found a 2 bedroom for 1900??!?! lucky...
      • khail250, on 07/02/2008, -0/+4but its a ***** hole :( in "south slope" also known as the border between sunset park and park slope, i live in the crappy part of a good area :-/

        but over there, good lord, gated, security highrise for ~ 500 bucks a month, three bedrooms, bukkake loads of doormen :(
      • sovietninja, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1Wait, why use the word bukkake to describe the doormen? Are they drowning you? :)
      • Kormiku, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1Yeah i live in china and the area I live in has unskilled labor for about 120 a month. But living standards here are about 5 to an apartment (roomate or family). These people live in apartments that only cost 40-50 bucks a month and split between 5 people is very affordable for them. Now a 50 dollar a month apartment is going to be very nice and spacious. My apartment is 50 bucks a month and 120 square meters with hardwood floors and japanese-styled toilets and showers. Very nice and very cheap. I only spend about 400-500 USD a month, and I feed my whole family and pets on that. Edit: My building has very good security and doormen and my building is secured for up to an 8.0 earthquake.

    • namiie, on 07/02/2008, -0/+3Most J. Crew products are made in Italy. I've seen one or two items made in Asia but for the most part, it's high quality materials and detail-oriented designing. An example would be any of their true cashmere sweaters.

  • Thrilltone, on 07/02/2008, -11/+17That's heinous
    • Jashro, on 07/02/2008, -0/+4They look like comfortable jeans without the massive amount of semen stains on them.

      For 285 smackers though, I'll go to Target and buy me 14 pairs of jeans.

        Today we salute you, Mr. Constant Collar Putter Upper. You, bedecked in popped collar, teach us that we no longer have to live with a cold, back of the neck. Sure, your Pink alligator polo may look feminine to some, but not to the 17 other queer frat guys wearing the same thing at the bar. Where others may see thoughtless fashion conformity, you preach a higher gospel. You preach of a world where its okay for a man to go tanning. You ask "why can't we wear make-up, and use shampoo with lavender essence?" So crack open an ice-cold Bud Light, you fashion gladiator, because we all know, when we really need a piece of gum, you might have one...in your man purse.

I really don't understand the appeal of this kind of crap, but it's important to point out that J.Crew doesn't do ***** like this normally.

I used to work at jcrew and didn't want their jeans on sale for 30, much less for this ridiculous price...
    • chestertonb, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1The irony is I have a ***** pair of jeans from a company called "Vintage".

      • Codwhy, on 07/02/2008, -11/+4yeah but i'm sure there is something that you are willing to spend obsene amounts of money on, even though it is unnecissary

        but those things are worth the money (luxury cars, 1080p tv's)

        their not stained pairs of pants
      • chadisawesome, on 07/02/2008, -2/+9you probably pay $300 for Lego.

        trust me, there is always something, or you are just poor.
      • crzdmn, on 07/02/2008, -5/+12Or you aren't a materialist bastard. I won't deny I have some of those things (1080P big screen tv, new car, ps3, pc) but they do actually have a value or reason associated with that cost.

        What the ***** does a pair of pre-destroyed jeans have for value? Where do those jeans provide two years later?

        Big Screen TV: Got on sale around 50% won't have to buy a new tv for 5+ years

        new car: toyota corolla good fuel, good warranty, 100k+ mile road life, old car was dying (standard 96 accord)

        ps3: closest thing to a pair of pants that i would spend high amounts of money on BUT it replaced my old media pc that was out of date, gave me a blue-ray played, and console with an expected life of 5+ years.

        pc: custom built, upgraded when a good sale and a need occur.

        f'in jeans: fall apart after a few years normally less, pre-destroyed, look can be achieved by hitting up a thrift stored for $1-$20

        Get the point?
      • Mark4212, on 07/02/2008, -3/+8Except that TV you gut was 120% Marked up, or was on sale and was the cheapest piece of crap that they sell in the store. Trust me my friend is a TV sales man at an electronic store and they never put a tv on sale that has isn't a piece of junk.

        A new car no matter how much you want to think isn't a great deal. For you Toyota Corolla you could have gotten a Kia for around 7K that is just as reliable with the same warrenty and everything as your 28k carolla but you don't want the Kia. Your PS3 was 400 dollars. Why do you need a Blue Ray player.

        To some people Fasion is the most important thing. Looking good. The don't care about a PC. They don't care about a Big Screen TV. They don't care about a PS3 or Blue Ray. So to them the 200 Pair of jeans is your PS3, 1080PT TV that you think you got a deal on, your new toyota carolla, your custom built PC that just became outdated technology wise.

        Get the point!
      • gandhii, on 07/03/2008, -1/+3And anyone who thinks "fasion" is THAT important and worth that much money, gets the honor of me calling them a douche... cause that's what a "douche" is.
    • libertao, on 07/02/2008, -20/+118The point isn't just that they are expensive, the point is that they are expensive due to having ***** paint spilled on them.
      • JBrown99, on 07/02/2008, -2/+27Exactly. At least the gadgets have research and design and other expenses behind them, making them cost more.

        THIS IS PAINT!

        On a positive note, a pair of my old work jeans are now 'trendy'.
      • youareretarded, on 07/02/2008, -1/+28Seriously!

        Could you imagine if apple came out with a designer iphone that had a custom cracked screen and hand crafted scratches on the case? Who would pay extra for that? Now if it came with the white stereo headset that was tinted brown to simulate years of use, then I could justify it!
      • joegibes, on 07/02/2008, -2/+6533n: You're paying more for comfort and quality, not just because the jeans have paint and patches on them.
      • xzacx, on 07/02/2008, -2/+4That's not 100% true. I can show you denim that is 100% unwashed, has no brand markings, and is from a company 99% of the people on here have never heard of, and it will make these look cheap.

        The paint on a pair of J.Crew jeans definitely adds to the price, but its hard to ever find a pair of selvedge jeans for much less than $150 or so. It's hard to say without actually seeing them in person, but under all that ugly paint is probably some pretty decent denim.
      • feignNU, on 07/02/2008, -7/+8You people who SERIOUSLY can't understand that to some people these jeans are worth the money really need to work harder at putting yourselves in another person's shoes.

        You don't have to want to do it yourself, but you should give an honest effort to trying to empathize with other people's ways of thinking, which it is clear from these comments that you are not doing.

        First of all, perhaps for you the research and development and whatnot that goes into the production of gadgets justifies their high price, but for every justification you can give for the high price of your preferred consumer goods, a fashion-nut could give you a justification for the price of their clothing. In the end, all of this needless consumer crap is just... needless consumer crap, and it just makes you look like a 5 year old when you think your preferred consumer crap is somehow more sensible than someone else's preferred consumer crap. Second of all, as 533n said, there really ARE differences in comfort and durability between $100 jeans and $25 jeans.
    • briankoenig03, on 07/02/2008, -5/+35Great comment. People forget that this is why we have a currency system. We may both be programmers, produce similar code, and deserve similar compensation. But thankfully, we don't get a ticket to a communist Russian bread line, we get good ol' greenbacks that we can spend as we please. One guy can buy selvedge hand-distressed denim, and the other can buy one of those silk shirts with a huge comic book guy on it.

      Let me add that DrPh0bius' comment should run through your head every time your girlfriend spends $200 on shoes, $300 on a bag, $75 on a pedicure that lasts one week, etc.
      • Nitesmoke, on 07/02/2008, -2/+6This is great, Im a painter, and I had no Idea that all this time I was on the cutting edge of fashion. Almost every pair of pants I own look like the ones in the pic. I should head to the flea market and sell them for a hundred bucks a pair.
      • youareretarded, on 07/02/2008, -1/+3To be honest Nitesmoke, I think you should try to sell them at the flea market. Do your own little social experiment and see just how shallow people can get.
      • elalonde, on 07/02/2008, -2/+16I once asked a potential girlfriend what she would do with $500. She said she would put it *towards* a hand bag, because $500 isn't enough for the handbag she wanted. Things didn't work out between us.
      • feignNU, on 07/02/2008, -2/+3"Do your own little social experiment and see just how shallow people can get."

        Why is it shallow if a person spends as much money as they want to get a pair of jeans they like? That actually seems like, well, the opposite of shallow to me.
      • thomascj, on 07/02/2008, -0/+9anyone ever see the episodes of Penn & Teller's *****! featuring "Bottled Water" and "Food Experts" -- they gave people a list of "designer waters" and served them like they were aged wine... people had their own likes/dislikes, noted certain distinct tastes, and noticed the difference in the "rain soaked mountains of colorado" to the "waterfall aerated streams of fji" -- in truth they were filling bottles from the hose out back.
      • greyvector, on 07/03/2008, -0/+0To some people fashion is an important part of their identity. I'm sure that's considered shallow to some, but it makes sense to me. When I was working at a fast food place for three years saving for college we had a strict uniform. After I came home from work, I put on a clean company shirt for pajamas because I had so many of them. It really wears you down. I wouldn't spend two-hundred dollars on a pair of pants, but if I ever get a good job with some surplus income, I don't see the harm in occasionally splurging on whatever makes you happy, even if other people think it's stupid.

      • mikev, on 07/02/2008, -3/+9Wrong. A similar pair of jeans could probably be made by paying at least 100 bucks in buying the selvedge denim, taking the effort to properly cut it into the cut it's supposed to be, and then at least fifteen hours manually distressing the what was raw denim into what they how they look. I wish people would stop thinking that all denim is mass produced and of equal quality no matter where you buy from, it most definitely is not. Those who really appreciate the time put into this pair will buy them, but most of the people don't even know what the ***** sanforized denim is so I doubt these will really sell...most of J. Crews demographic is a bunch of douchebags.
      • DrPh0bius, on 07/02/2008, -1/+6Neocotex, youre missing the point. It is about perceived value, not actual value.
        To some people, the label on their jeans or shoes has a greater value than a gadget might to you or me...

        I have that $399 cell phone, I wear $20 Chuck Taylor Converse and buy my pants at Target... on clearance.

        But just like we can say "who cares" about the label on those jeans, those people may say "who cares" about our cell phone features.

        Perceived value.

As far as I'm concerned paying extra for pants doesn't really give you anything else.... I still have no problem getting laid in regular $20 pants from Kohls...

        Its all about perceptions.
    • psykiv, on 07/02/2008, -9/+4What if I paid $15 for my pair of $180 jeans, got my $500 blackberry free with contract, and got my $150 nike's on a price mistake for $25?

      Bargain shopping, price mistakes, and buying things on clearance ftw?
      • brettmurf, on 07/02/2008, -3/+3It means you believed them when they put up a false original price. You got $30 pair of jeans for $15 and one of the ***** blackberry phones that they probably claim is a $300 phone, but give away for free with contracts. I also rarely see $150 nike anymore, so I would guess you got a $75 pair on clearance because you wear size 6 and they still had your tiny size in.
      • DrPh0bius, on 07/02/2008, -0/+2That would be good bargain shopping, but it still makes my initial point. To want that pair of jeans or shoes at even a cheap price means that you perceive the fact that the brand attached to the item is of some value over that of a store brand or non-brand item.

        It isnt a big deal, really. I was just trying to illustrate that we all have differing perceptions of what is worth spending money on.

While some may go for the $400 cell phone, you can at least argue that the functionality is better, because the phone does something more than simply cover a part of your body. There's a big difference. Yes, personal preference and all that, but the phones actually DO something, and every phone is a bit different in what and how it does it.

    • diggthis123, on 07/02/2008, -1/+1Those jeans are from the Senator Craig collection
    • lgh0s7l, on 07/02/2008, -0/+2come on, dont you know "cool" when you see it? lol....all you need now is a can of that orange face spray and your set!
    • dOOBiEx213, on 07/02/2008, -0/+2Two people dugg you down. We can now confirm there are at least two douchebags that read this article.
  • mrshickadance9, on 07/02/2008, -4/+35I always said you could just do that yourself and save $$$. But NOOOOO. It's not fashion if you do it your self.

    lame.
    • antipoet, on 07/02/2008, -0/+6For what it's worth, I think it's far more fashionable if they're worn because you yourself wore them out.
    • ell0bo, on 07/02/2008, -0/+2I tried it once. I had some jeans that I hated and I wanted to make them look cool. Dear lord did I mess them up horribly. Do no put bleach on black jeans... they just look like something you should wear around halloween.
    • SwitchXFactor, on 07/02/2008, -0/+1I doubt anyone would tell the difference or care if they did. Just because they make jeans to look worn doesn't mean actual worn jeans are out of style.
    • mrshickadance9, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1It doesn't change the fact that you still look like a douche if you wear clothes like that.

    • onehandhigh, on 07/02/2008, -0/+19I went to buy some shirts the other day and found a few I liked at Khol's... until i looked closer and every single one had a damn skull on it! Now I see skulls on every type of clothing! WTF?
      • bluetytanium, on 07/02/2008, -0/+7I know what you mean. Kohls's goes through these fads where they have contracts with designers or something. Right now it's Tony Hawk and Skulls.
      • Neiby, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1Same here. I saw that same trend at Kohl's and some other stores. I want to dress well, but I'm a little too old to walk around with ***** skulls on my shirt, thank you very much. If I wanted that kind of *****, I'd shop at Hot Topic.
      • chaosblade77, on 07/03/2008, -0/+0Wasn't Tony Hawk/Skulls like... very late 90s/early 2000s? As in, around the time the first three games were released?

      and there is a guy here that wants to buy them http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=48128
      • ep53, on 07/02/2008, -0/+4Everyone in that forum is so sincere, like they would totally spend the $1k like it was nothing. Its funny how different areas of the internet have different views.
      • scyform, on 07/03/2008, -0/+3yeah I remember that guy, he kinda left after he realized he was on the wrong forum

        that place focuses mainly on pieces of high quality, timeless clothing with fairly conservative style. the guys up there probably hate it as much as the people here.
      • Neiby, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2Holy *****. Can someone explain to me why those clothes are so expensive? I see nothing notable about them.
    • bxblox, on 07/02/2008, -0/+2I was walking around looking to buy a few t-shirts a week ago and couldnt find a single one that didnt have a skull on it. If i want to look like punisher I'll have my family killed.
    • SpeedStix, on 07/02/2008, -0/+2you have to be retarded to spend that kind of money on a hoodie. Like, if it was covered in gold dust or diamonds or whatever I would buy, either than that... WHY!!!
    • makkaveli19, on 07/02/2008, -6/+1great china wall hodies and sweaters are ***** amazing
      i own two of them and i bought both of them my self. they have real swartzky crystals and are of great quality. i can't believe how some people judge others like this. i like to dress up and care how i look like, does that make me a douche, well it seems that girls are a bit more attracted to douches that arrogant nerds.....

      • sysadminBJ, on 07/03/2008, -1/+1NEWSFLASH: The kind of girl that digs this type of ***** is the type who will only date you if you are rich. That may be cool for you, but I look for more than a gold digging whore in the women I date.
      • chaosblade77, on 07/03/2008, -0/+0If I'm not mistaken, most of the people I know think hoodies/"hoodless hoodies" look terrible. Some find it reasonable to wear them because they are more lightweight and comfortable than a jacket, others just want to burn them. I can't think of anyone I know who likes them though, make or female.
    • Kempachi, on 07/02/2008, -0/+4Have you noticed only non-rockers wear stuff that say "Rock" to seem tough?
    • wrestlingnrj, on 07/02/2008, -0/+1HAHAHAHA, my best friends step brother wears those hoodies. I can't believe he would waste his money on that, but then again he can afford it.
    • D0m0kun, on 07/02/2008, -1/+6$900!! Suckers..

      For bargain shoppers, you can use coupon code GR8WALLDISCOUNT5, and it only costs $832.50, which is like buying right at cost.
    • toothcake, on 07/02/2008, -0/+1That's not gay.... Skulls and roses are like hardcore.

      The retards who buy this stuff should go to wal-mart, buy pretty much the same thing for 15$ and give the rest of money to charity.

      I say this because half the hoodies i see in retail stores contain skulls and roses.
  • 4LeggedtriPod, on 07/02/2008, -3/+7Not only do they pay for it, they apparently pay $285 for it.

  • ciaran036, on 07/02/2008, -14/+6You're a fool if you pay more than £30-£40/$60-80 for a pair of jeans, the way I see it.
    • pradaaddict, on 07/02/2008, -4/+3Its about what you value, foolishness has absolutely nothing to do with it.
      • ventralnet, on 07/02/2008, -0/+7false, you are being taken advantage of with obscene markups and you are well aware of it. It is foolish
      • pradaaddict, on 07/02/2008, -2/+2The markups are a cost of doing business. The profit margins of fashion and retail companies is really only about 5% on a good year. Rare materials, high worksmanship, limited markets and exclusive image all go into that markup. You aren't going to see many Dior dresses because they cost a lot to make and are hard to sell so the price has to go up up up.
    • cabooglio2, on 07/02/2008, -5/+10Sounds like someone can only afford $80 jeans.
      • Lythium, on 07/02/2008, -1/+6I've never bought a pair over $40 *shame*
      • ventralnet, on 07/02/2008, -1/+1I've never bought jeans that weren't given to me with a negative cost.
      • ciaran036, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1well no. I've bought good quality and nice looking jeans for less than $80, but spent my money on more important things, or things which are better worth it.
  • nathangl, on 07/02/2008, -12/+6i have sevens. expensive jeans fit my fat ass nicely. but i don't dig the paint job.it blows.

    • ogre2112, on 07/02/2008, -2/+14I'm pretty sure the general public would agree that if you wear those jeans you need to be stricken from the gene pool.

      That and those stupid hats that look crooked when you wear them. YOU LOOK LIKE A RETARD.
  • thedogfatherx, on 07/02/2008, -8/+18Yes people DO buy this *****. It's amazing, funny, and very very sad at the same time. It's the whole lets buy ***** that looks like it's about time to throw it away fad. These designers are laughing all the way to the bank on the ***** morons buying this. I just look at people wearing this crap and shake my head and laugh.
    • pradaaddict, on 07/02/2008, -2/+2They dont actually. I'm a retail buyer and i'd never buy these. People wouldn't wear it
      • thedogfatherx, on 07/02/2008, -1/+1Maybe not this particular type of pants but I see people all over wearing trashed jeans, hats, etc.
  • pathy, on 07/02/2008, -1/+22People pay huge amounts to look like they've been painting a house?
  • plhofmei, on 07/02/2008, -5/+5Not only do they pay, they pay BIG at $285!
  • EnigmaStrain, on 07/02/2008, -7/+37this is SAD

    why pay 285-500 bucks for a pair of jeans that looked like you were painting, drywalling or working on a house in general.

    if you really want that look just roll up your sleeves and do some hard work at a housing or a building construction site.

    You get the look you want for Free and you get paid for your hard work.
    • pradaaddict, on 07/02/2008, -9/+2Its not the paint you are paying for. Its the quality of the denim that they are advertising.
      • RobotLeAwesome, on 07/02/2008, -1/+6The denim that they decided to splatter paint on? must be really high quality.
    • kornwin, on 07/02/2008, -0/+6I reject your sensible logic! How dare you force your logical ideas upon us, the sheep!
    • Gnister, on 07/02/2008, -0/+1Well I'd say you're on to something there... The thing is that the people who are willing to buy these pants would NEVER do that kind of work to begin with. Which is exactly why all of those said peoples friends think the pants wearer is cool when they look like they would.
    • caramba420, on 07/02/2008, -0/+3How about buy some jeans, then spend a day working for Habitat for Humanity. Those are some paint splotches I would proudly wear.
    • opensourcer, on 07/02/2008, -0/+1Exactly.
      these guys who wear "designer" rusty and/or torn jeans usually avoid behaviors that result in how their clothes look. They are wearing it like they got a manual badge. Seriously, you have to earn those. I have no respect for anyone that buy a badge.
    • nepidae, on 07/02/2008, -3/+0How is it sad? Presumably said person who purchases these works hard and makes a living doing something else (probably in a cube somewhere). If I wore nice clothes to work all the time I think it would be fine to change it up a bit when I'm out of the office.
      • ishwarchand, on 07/02/2008, -0/+1Oh my, you are the smartest person ever. I would definitely try it out and tell you whether it worked or not.

  • portnoy, on 07/02/2008, -5/+41WOW! How much would these kids pay for jeans that have URINE stains?????
    • drunkmonkey01, on 07/02/2008, -0/+11semen stains would be better
    • portnoy, on 07/02/2008, -0/+11And I thought the entire "holey knees" fad with jeans was strange. Not to date myself, but when I was a teen a guy would get ridiculed fairly intensely for having worn out knees.
    • rukeypoo, on 07/02/2008, -0/+2Depends. How much to an R Kelly concert?
    • boXEDUPmaniac, on 07/02/2008, -0/+0what makes you assume it's only kids that are buying these things?
  • gusisfry, on 07/02/2008, -4/+5I cannot wait till energy prices stop mega corporations from jerking off to their foriegn labor. JCrew who makes everything over seas is going to have to pay an American worker a "wage" and the people at the top will have to take a pay cut or inflate custom trashed pants to $500!

    God damn hipsters for buying this crap!!!
    • pradaaddict, on 07/02/2008, -1/+8yes..because hipsters looveee JCrew
    • thecarpe, on 07/02/2008, -0/+3Yah, but a good portion of that $200-$500 goes into a US store to pay a US employee, and a US landlord, and a US power company with US workers, etc...it's money flowing into the economy. If I sold $500 Ass Hats, who cares? It's money flowing around in the US economy rather than somewhere else.
    • feignNU, on 07/02/2008, -1/+0I love how "hipsters" have become a visible enough sub-culture that hipster-bashing has made its way into the mainstream consciousness, but only just far enough for everyone to do it incorrectly.
  • hgielrehtaeh, on 07/02/2008, -1/+17I'm going to start a company where I wear clothes for people so they get nice and worn out. I'll get my clothes free, and I'll get paid to wear them.
    And douchebags the world over will be delighted.
  • hauntedchippy, on 07/02/2008, -4/+5So you're saying I can buy tesco value jeans and some paint and make money out of chumps?
  • keeferan, on 07/02/2008, -3/+4The people that have $285 to waste on a pair of wrecked jeans probably don't have much free time away from working to damage a pair of jeans they already own. Therefore there is a market for stupid people that like this style.
  • slapded, on 07/02/2008, -4/+3wonder if they sell OJ simpon pants
    • keymastr, on 07/02/2008, -0/+4Those would never sell - they wouldn't fit anyone.
  • Fourbin, on 07/02/2008, -3/+18I'll give you a discount. Instead of $285, give me $100 and I'll give you a nice pair of my jeans covered in jizz stains.
    • ishwarchand, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1dude, you have a problem if the front of the jeans has jizz stains.

      Actually that is better than the backside/inside. That would be a bigger problem.
  • vinceislegend, on 07/02/2008, -4/+34Ridiculous. Not rediculous.
    • decker12, on 07/02/2008, -1/+8That drives me crazy as well. "Seperate" and when people write or say "mute" instead of "moot" are more of my pet peeves.

      • desertDenizen, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2I once had an employee who meant to promote our complementary products, and we got flooded with requests because he had written about our "complimentary" products. Oops. Spelling sometimes matters, folks.

        Not here, of course. But when typos end up being ironic, it's good for a chuckle, and sometimes should be pointed out to share the chuckle with others, IMO,
    • mikelist, on 07/02/2008, -1/+0if it happens again, it might be rediculous.
