lol $120 for jeans.

My $30 Mossimo jeans from Target have been going strong for 4 years. I refuse to believe you're punishing jeans any more than I am.

If you like the romantic idea of the jeans conforming to your body, that's fine, but it sounds like a pain in the ass. Niggas talking about sitting in the tub wearing them... and Vintage Looms is just marketing. I'm sure they're well constructed, but so are the Levis you see still holding together from the 60s.

My $30 Mossimo jeans from Target

I think you're in the wrong thread

icarusfall has no fucks to give on your high priced jeans

Relaxed-fit Mossimo Jeans = seams that have never felt any punishment ever in their entire life.

[icarusfall]

I wear jeans often in the kitchen.

I promise they've felt more punishment than your jeans.

Also: It's the style thread, not the high priced thread. Furthermore: Your version of style is not mine. Mine is not yours. We don't have to agree.

Paying $120 for jeans isn't style, it's just offering you the privilege of feeling like they're made in some exceptional way. My jeans look great and cost $30. That doesn't make them any less stylish.

Again, I point you to the Levis still holding strong for 50 years.

The biggest thing I'm snobbish about is where clothes are made. I'll pay to get something made in the US or UK

though I tend to wait for used/sales

It's also not the bring up the old "HURR DURR $120 FOR JEANS??! LOLZ" thread. Those arguments are tired. Either you think it's worth it or you don't, and I'm fine if you don't, but why come in and shit on it? But yes, your jeans are less stylish.

It's not Sesame Street where everyone's opinion counts and everyone's style is just as good as everyone else's. Everyone likes what they wear presumably, but that does not make them stylish. It is about about popular opinion, trends, and what kind of clothes will get you laid by hot superficial women.

You are so wrapped up in being counter culture so I wouldn't expect you to care anyway, but it's no different than someone telling you your burgers are silly and overpriced because McDonalds costs 1/3 the price. McDonalds is just as good, right? It is about the ingredients, the work that has gone into them, and the craftsmanship displayed in the final product. Maybe you should stop judging artisan clothing.

lol - you're just clueless.

I'll stop though.

well, assuming you aren't gay, there is a difference between eating a burger and looking at men in jeans. The better burger taste better. You feel it in your senses. You can't say the same for dudes in different prices jeans.

It really is a terrible analogy.
