why bitches love $200 jeans:
1) it means you have style
2) it means you have taste
3) it means you got a bit of money
4) they look toighter than $40 jeans any day of the week

i don't understand paying that much for jeans. are they made out of coke or something? it's just cotton. you are paying for some gay italian designer guy's name to be on your pants. does that make you cool?

generally speaking, higher priced jeans are higher quality (better denim, better cuts, better washes, more love)
+ if its all you wear, it makes sense to have a couple nice pairs that you love.

dude, some of those ultra vintage ones with all the bleached lines and whatnot, do you have any idea how many sweatshop children's fingernails were worn down to nothing while they scratched at the denim 2,000, 3,000 times a pair?Vintage don't come cheap!

that's why i stopped buying jeans from abercrombie. i don't like the homeless wearing out my jeans before i buy them.

as with everything you get what you pay for... there is definitely a huge difference between 200 and 40 dollar denim.

lol... that's not how they're made.
they pay kids of all different sizes ยข2 a day to wear the jeans while they do other manual labor.
gives it that worked in kinda look.

I think it's about time, in America especially, that clothing prices reflect each size.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the big fatso guy wearing size 42 pants is wearing more fabric than a slim guy in a 32.
I think pricing things to cost more the more "product" used would be an incentive to slim down and eat more healthy.

they should just stop making nice clothes for fat people.
that'll learn em good.

Just a tip here because I'm having some success at the moment...
Bought this pair of Volcom jeans, the darker slightly vintage looking Scrambler.
The ass part and pockets were worn ok, but with some sandpaper and a dark brown PrismaColor pencil, I've just kind of rubbed in the pencil and sanded it in. Big improvement to get them away from the just store bought feel.
I've done similiar to the legs, light lines with the pencil and rubbing it in consistently. The legs were boring and too even, just trying to jazz em up a bit.Those of you sporting totally crap jeans could have a blast doing this. Of course the best way is to place them under a car tire and do a quick burn out, or drive down a gravel road with the jeans knotted around a cinder block, all connected to the car with a chain.
That's what Diesel does I think.

hahah mg, your recommendation was rediculous..
i just bring mine to a kindergarten class and let them have take them out for recess.. that works well too..
- myobie0
mg, do you really do that?
I found some Diesels for 30$, but they are fake...
Who makes fake Diesels?
That's just weird...
- mg330
no, I don't drag them behind a car... was being funny.
but the first part, I've heard of plenty of people doing the same kinds of things to roughen up jeans a bit. The queer eye guys as well as that tod oldham fashion show on mtv years ago showed stuff like that.

You people are sick, who pays that much for jeans?
You could probably get them custom made from the best denim (if such thing exhists) for less then 100 dollars. You are paying for a name/image.
I get these 30 dollars jeans from PacSun that look fine and last forever. I wear them for a few months and I get the worn look that some people pay 200 dollars for.
If you guys want 34inch by 34inch used jeans, nice worn in, I can sell them to you guys for 50 a pair.

i bet you that the majority of the good designers in our western world wear expensive denim.

just bought a pair of cords , nice shade of brown, online but they're too small for me. tag says 32 but they're more like 31-30 (inseam is 31).
THE POINT IS:
I'll let anyone here (with a good loving home) have them for $10 us (only) shipping incl.! just email me. mint used condition. 70's levis 519s. I have a dozen pairs -
think of it -
you can be a hip as me !?I paid $20 for 'em.

this thread won't die...
weird...
my original point was to see if there were any jeans that would fit me well (skinny)...diesel seems to be the only one's cut right...
now, imah not pay full price, but I may pay a lil if it means I get what I want...
I don't mind spending money on things that I will use...
