I thought the pre-ripped jeans I've been seeing for years was a weird idea, I've worn jeans in the past that became thin and sometimes tore in certain areas....but I wouldn't buy them that way already. Anyhoo, now they sell pre-soiled jeans that look like they're caked in mud, but it doesn't wash off and you have to be born with a silver spoon in your mouth in order to afford them. For me a new pair of Levis for $40 is overpriced. What do you think of these types of jeans with the lived in/worked in look?

Yes. I've never liked that look since I was a teenager and we wore patched and ripped jeans to express our individuality. How anyone over the age of 17 can wear that is just weird. It looks uncomfortable too. And now fake distressed jeans are being sold? Oh seriously. This is what happens when you dare to charge $400. for a pair of denim pants in this world and some are clueless enough to pay up for it.
 
The eternal question - if you get another rip in pre-ripped jeans do you throw them out?
 
Just another sign of people who have more money, than good sense. I buy the Walmart "faded glory" jeans for $10, and they fit well, and last just as long as the more expensive brands.
 
I couldn't believe it when people were paying for the pre-faded jeans. Now it's the jeans with slits in them. But presoiled???

Good grooming or a fitting/nice look is one thing but fashion for fashion sake. I know people who declared bankruptcy who are still fashion hounds and will buy brand name only. No generics. They said they only paid $35 for the jeans they are wearing so it was a deal. I see 1/3 priced generics advertised all the time from well known stores in the area. This an adult trying to climb the corporate ladder. I'm afraid to ask what their suits and ties go for.
 
At one time (and still may be), a hot item in New York City was "spray-on mud" for your jeep or Hummer so it would look like you had been out mud-bogging in the country. And of course, the cars HAD to have a winch on the front, just in case you needed to winch yourself out of the parking lot at Elaines or somewhere.

What REALLY grinds my gut is the fact that I have never thought about any of these things first so that *I* could make the fortune off them.
 
First it was "rag picker" jeans, now it is "hog wallow" jeans. I would throw either in the garbage if they were given to me.

:lol: The tomato sauce sounds AWESOME! Do you take plastic?
 
I was in construction for 45 years.
I'd sell my old jeans but the tax hike will kill me. :confused:

I have to think this is a joke and somebody is laughing at people that are taking this seriously.

What moron would spend $425 on these jeans?
If some fool bought them what does it say about him/her?

It say's you're out of your mind and have no clue about real people.

If you pay in cash, I'll throw in a limited edition pair of socks with very fashionable imported soy sauce stains on them (no, really....soy sauce....don't ask....) - a $50 value. Just pay separate postage and handling.

BUT WAIT! Order within the next 15 minutes and you'll receive a lovely white tee-shirt with artistically-placed red wine stains, worn only once by a certified Florida klutz ABSOLUTELY FREE OF CHARGE.

Operators are standing by. Call 1-800-SUC-KERR. That's 1-800-SUC-KERR. Once again, that's 1-800-SUC-KERR.
 
I saw the jeans with the caked on mud on tv for $425.00. I agree, there is one born every minute. I should buy a bunch of Walmart jeans and put mud on them and sell them on Ebay..now that's and idea..yeah..
 
I remember in my late teens/early 20s when I took on a bit of a hippie type look the height of fashion was to wear away your jeans so that the went white at the front. Then they developed holes on the thighs and knees and it was the thing to find really cool material to make patches. Not so very different I guess, though the were 'home made' of course - at least until the fashion industry caught up. Then you could pay extra for jeans with ready made patches!
