Dude, really?

Today I was in a meeting where people got into a conversation about the price of their jeans. The highest cost in the room was $400 and the lowest was $150. I declined to mention that mine cost $4.99.

ETA: In case anyone wants to see what $400 jeans look like, here you go.

!!!! These people are insane.

I'll admit that I pay about $20 a pair, which (for me) is a lot to spend on a single article of clothing, but I've found a good mail order company that makes jeans that actually fit me (I have a weird build for a chick, but don't quite fit men's jeans properly, either), so I'm willing to shell out for them new. But anything more than that? Yeesh.

Holy SHIT. Not that shit can be holy, but there has to be something unholy about a pair of jeans that costs $400. Or even $100, really. I can't imagine. $400 is more than my whole wardrobe budget for a year, LOL!

I feel ripped off every time I pay $35-$40, but the special cut from Lane Bryant or Fashion Bug Plus, they fit. I'd go naked before I paid $100, let alone $400 for a pair of jeans.

*looks at jeans in catolouge* *looks at my own jeans* I think the only difference is that they're dyed a darker color blue and have a different name on the label. Maybe the buttons are a slightly different shape.

I think they only cost that much because people want to say they paid $400 dollars for a pair of jeans.

Wuh? I think mine were $30.

I doan geddit. I mean, jeans are working class casual wear. If I'm gunna spend $400 on clothes, it better be the sexiest dress ever.

Wow. That is ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.

You have got to be kidding me. I think the most I've ever spent on a pair of jeans is $50 and that was because they actually fit. Gah!

Bzuh.

I pay around £20 for jeans that actually fit my big bum! And that's excessive to me.
I looked at the RL $400 jeans..... (aside from the fact that the model is stick thin and wearing high heels - what is that about??) they don't look any better or different from high street brands.
If anyone feels they have to spend ridulous amounts on a label, they should try OXFAM, or similar - $4.99 for decent jeans, and donate the remaining $395.01 to the charity!
