Even if they're not really over, the clock is ticking. Before very long they'll have gone the way of $200+ sneakers and similar goofy fads. Good riddance!Originally Posted by Octavio Interrupted
It doesn't say the market's tastes have changed, it only says people have less money so they want to pay less. Makes sense.Originally Posted by unicornwarrior
the people who are willing to pay $300 for a pair of jeans aren't going to stop because of a recession this reminds me of everyone saying apple NEEDS to lower their prices, this is a recession!! and then apple announces their best quarter in history. yes, there is a recession, but people who were going to buy these things are still going to buy them.Originally Posted by Uncontrol
Paying $300 for jeans is just silly. $2000 mens shoes and $4000 suits make more sense than $300 jeans.Originally Posted by imageWIS

Well, its all about longevity. Jeans don't tend to last long enough, thus the premium price paid is frankly due to marketing than to craftsmanship as it is in high-end shoes or suits (mens jeans, shoes, and suits). Plus coupled with the fact that the price of jeans jumped dramatically during the 'premium' jean fad, that well, its rather obvious that no jean was ever worth such an exuberant retail price.Originally Posted by imageWIS
As ZISSOU stated, ....in reverse....ur statement is true. I too, like "Z" wear jeans mostly on a daily basis and I have "hordes" of them - therefore, because of rotation, their longevity last. I too have suits and shoes that are high-end. I just misunderstood you w/my logic. Peace.Originally Posted by Geste
