WSJ: How Can Jeans Cost $300?
Interesting read ...
UNIFORM LA CHILLICOTHE WORK JACKET Drop, going on right now.
Uniform LA's Chillicothe Work Jacket is an elevated take on the classic Detroit Work Jacket. Made of ultra-premium 14-ounce Japanese canvas, it has been meticulously washed and hand distressed to replicate vintage workwear that’s been worn for years, and available in three colors.
This just dropped today. If you missed out on the preorder, there are some sizes left, but they won't be around for long. Check out the remaining stock here
Good luck!.

What is "raw garment" cost? Materials were already covered above.
Subtotal of Materials, Trim, Labor, and Waste.
Doesn't the parenthetical "excluding overhead" (assuming "overhead" also includes every other conceivable cost the company has) render this arithmetic calculation completely ******* meaningless?

I see. Thanks.
^Correct, though if I'm not mistaken, their math is off by $1 ($56.06 should be the cost based on their numbers.) Their graphic should have been clearer.
The article's a little murky on the numbers. They cite 2.0 - 2.5 x markup from "cost" to "retail". I don't see how you get there from $56.06 to $310, as in this example.
Has anyone read the Comments section yet? Tons of people either bragging about their $20 jeans or ranting about politics/government
