Son's rich friends (GDS) are wearing $1000 jeans, now he wants a couple pairs too

[Anonymous]

I asked my almost 13 year old niece recently if her friends shop at Abercrombie. She said no, that they all only wear high end designer items. She said nearly all buy exclusively from Nieman Marcus. I was shocked.

Ew.

And gross.

(Sorry, but this calls for juvenile expressions of disgust.)

so it is good that he has some aspirations...

and those jeans are really ridiculous.

Can you afford such jeans? Can you spell "No!"?

Wearing those jeans makes one statement only: "I have a lot of money and I want you to know it."

Apparently your son is hanging with kids my son wouldn't much like. We have people in our family who could easily afford such pants, and they would never even contemplate such a purpose.

I know, right? That's what my sofa cost.

My son would not be caught in those jeans.

I suggest if your son wants them he can get a job.

He should already have a job

And I almost forgot the funny part: He wants a couple pairs, too.

+100!

+1. Seems very un-GDS to me. I can think of more than a few GDS kids who would be aghast at such crass materialism.

I've never seen anything like that at GDS. Looks like garbage. Get some jeans from Goodwill and rip them up. Who is going to know.

I had a friend who spent several hours meticulously carving slits into her jeans using a razor blade -- while she was wearing him. You can still see feint scars on her thighs.

Yep. One of my sons has two pairs of these hideous jeans. Purchased from PacSun.

Who is the genius who successfully marketed this and who are the rich idiots who would pay $330 for a white short sleeved t shirt?

Is it possible that some people don't know about the $10 packets with three undershirts that LOOK THE SAME as the $330 shirt?

Yes, but The Beibs could actually afford them with money that he earned himself.

The extra $320 is to cover the cost of someone taking it into the desert and shooting it.
