Nordstrom Selling $425 Mud Coated Jeans

[Julie's Haircut]

I think it's a great idea!! There's nothing more American than ripping off people who have more money than brains. I hope they sell well.

My husband has some that look just like that. I wonder how much I can get for them?

I said the same thing when everybody started selling ripped jeans.

I saw this earlier....crazy!

I still don't get the ripped jeans thing though.

Are the mud stains permanent, or do they come off during the first wash and make them into $50 jeans?

You can wear them with a $500+ pair of distressed shoes from Barney's

Here's one example if you don't want to click the article. I saw these in LA in a window display and thought it was a joke. I looked on the website and don't see these anymore, but they have others that look worn, though not as bad.

I'd really like to meet people that spend $400 on these jeans. Buy them a cup of coffee and chat, see how their brain is wired.

I never understood paying extra for clothes with holes in them or the "distressed" look. I prefer to wear holes in my clothes myself thank you.

I'll see if my husband and sons will do a spartan race in jeans, and then i'll make deal and sell them for $275.

I have a 40 year old Levis jacket. Bleached out and worn. It must be priceless!

 

[Wendy31]

I liked what Mike Rowe said about the jeans!!

What is next buying pants with poop stains in it and selling them for 500 dollars.

 

[ols386]

I think it's crazy.

 

[Christine]

Looks like they are calling it a "muddy coating" so it's just meant to look like mud and is permanent. I like how clean the model's shoes are though!

 

[lorimay]

This just makes me laugh.... why the heck would you spend over $400 for these??
Go buy a pair from Old Navy and jump in the mud if this is your thing!!!

Nobody tell Goodwill or the Salvation Army! Some of them already charge too much for salvaged goods from Target, or new items they get donated that still have the tags on them. If they know they can charge $500 for used, distressed items, they will become unaffordable to shop at.

Alrighty then.

Agreed... I guess though they would find out about my crazy $10k per year wine buying habit or how much I spend on Disney vacations. LOL I prefer the $12.99 jeans from Costco.

Being the dedicated follower of fashion that I am, if the artificial mud look isn't accompanied by the artificial manure smell, one should pass on them.
