Wes Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Wes: I don't know if that's one of your jokes, hehe but I would say that those jeans costs 149.00$ as I've got a pair of Energie jeans and seen lots of their other jeans, they cost around 75-130€ here, so I would think they've just 'forgotten' to put a mark between the 9 and the 00's, or then the jeans are made of some golden threads or have like 14700$ spending money in the pockets or something, lol. That makes more sense. It was at a Bloomingdale's, which is a really upscale store, so I figured it couldn't be totally out of the question. You would think $14900 jeans would be behind lock and key, though. They were pretty nice pants, maybe I should go snag a pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 All I know is that I'm lucky there's a Diesel outlet 45 minutes away, $200+ designer jeans for $40 that fit perfectly is truly magical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the sound Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 They look awesome, but i wouldn't spend so much money on them. Not $500, maybe at a most $200. Australian that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diesel makes some of the coolest looking, yet least comfortable shoes out there. I've tried on several pairs in my size, and it always feels about as good as walking on pebbles barefoot.

Carnage Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Umm, guys, that's the UK Abercrombie site, it's £398. As in, 398 POUNDS. So in actual fact that's almost $800 in US money. Umm, no, the price is in US Dollars. I just clicked again and actually watched my address bar, and when I click that link it takes me to this address: ...which is the UK site and which has the price listed at 398 GBP. Which means if I buy them from the UK site I pay twice as much as if I buy them from the US site! WTF!! I think the site forwards you to the proper site depending on your region settings on your computer. When I click the link it took me to the Canadian site, and lists them at $498 Canadian. I'm totally buying these jeans. And then I'm going to get a 12" lobster sub, get drunk, and eat it while laying on the floor with no shirt on. Then, and only then will I be like the Hoff.

supermanrosfan0810 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 You'll never catch me in any store like that. Kohls is where it's at! The whole "distressed" ripped up jeans thing is one of the dumbest things I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 On the subject of brand name stores, At least Aeropostale and American Eagle have some sense. However, you can find some Hollister and Abercrombie at TJ Maxx (if your lucky) once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which means if I buy them from the UK site I pay twice as much as if I buy them from the US site! WTF!! Basically it means we should sell everything we have over here and we can go and live in America as kings! That or get someone in the USA to buy them for us and send it over, give them the cash. Bingo! £398 saved.. I'd still buy them at £398. Fashion has no price! (This is assuming I had £398 to burn) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBird Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Here are some jeans that I found on the Saks 5th Avanue website, that are $745 http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446167349&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=282574492050999&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=1408474395222441&bmUID=1185417540468&ev19=1:3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kroger8 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 That is the stupidest crap I've ever heard of.^ The most expensive article of clothing I bought was a Lacoste polo. Thats as high as I'll go usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtremecoaster Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 That was alot of money for just some pants! In sweden,it`s almost 6500 KR (Swedish Value) and that`s more than a PS3 (But only a little)!But maybe they have been specially designed or worn by celebrites,people pay much for celebrity-worn clotches!

Jew Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I'm sure the jeans you buy at Target come from the same sweatshop...so good for A&F for fooling people into paying so much for a pair of jeans that didn't cost them anywhere remotely close to that much to produce. I say "fashion" (in quotations because I really don't get how a pair of jeans that look worn down is fashionable in the first place) is over rated. But that's because I have no sense of fashion.

onewheeled999 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 This is from the link that BigBird put up, there was a little area with requests for "If you like this product" kind of people. This was one of them. Can anybody imagine somebody paying this much for an ugly vest like this? http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446167305&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=282574492050999&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=1408474395222441&bmUID=1185500512064 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freefallbestrideever Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 It's not going too far. If people will pay for it, it's just business. People complain when there are $1000 video cards for the PC, but you don't have to buy it. Personally i'd rather buy an Xbox360.
