Off-topic Talk Where overpaid, underworked S2000 owners waste the worst part of their days before the drive home. This forum is for general chit chat and discussions not covered by the other off-topic forums.

Is it normal?

just talked to a friend and he said to try out "True Religion" jeans...they are $200-$300 a pair.
I was thinking about getting some of those. Outlet price 80 bucks!

but their regular lines are around $150-$200.
also puma sells jeans made together with them.
Okay, they also have a 100% cotton t-shirt for $150. Is there anything special about the material or the weave? I assume it's just the label. If that's what people want to spend their money on, good for them. Not my cup of tea though.

ps - and we give Porsche a hard time for their profit margin, eh? Wanna get rich? Capture the attention of the haute couture scene and sell one-dollar t-shirts for $150. The American dream, baby.

Most of your jeans are made by child slave labor.

Whoa, was it ladies night with the S2Ki member accounts? My wife and her gal pals don't even gab about high fashion like this!

$150 jeans would be wasted with me. I'd ruin them in a week and look like a retard in the process. (No offense to those of you that don't look like retards in $150 jeans.)

I'd rather blow my money on golf stuff.

I know, I know, but the car is fullfilling a dream, it's something I'm in to.

Like Seung and his 1500 jeans. He's into Denim collectables.

It's like anyone who's into things and spends money on them. Watches, electronics, etc.

I've dreamed about getting a car like this and I finally can.
I'm not razzing on you, I think it's great! I plan on having a very large garage "when I grow up."

But was just pointing out that you shouldn't be surprised at $200 jeans as it's the same thing as $200 a car ride... if it makes you feel / look pimp and you can afford it, then DO IT!

Of course if it makes you look silly, then pass.

$200 jeans on a very large, mushy ass is like a 400 lb guy driving a Noble or Exige... it'll just look pointless.
