I usually do most of my shopping at outlet malls, and sometimes spend $30 at the Gap or for a pair of Levis. I've always found it ridiculous that department stores try to sell jeans like Polo, Calvin Klein, etc. for $60-70 and think people who spend that much for casual clothes are idiots.
Well a few days ago, I've learned of something even more outrageous: designer jeans. My mother got me a pair of jeans that were half off from the Nordstrom Rack (an outlet store). They were called "For All Mankind" and looked no different than anything I've ever worn. These jeans were a little tighter than I liked, so I figured I'd look at the price to see if they were worth keeping just to wear once in a while. These half priced jeans were $95 marked down from $175! My mom and little sister feel this is a good deal because they're made by some moron who's dedicated his/her life to pants.
I always figured when people said designer jeans they meant Calvin Klein or whatever, but apparently there are these whole other lines of clothes I've been oblivious to that have 200% markups or whatever. From now on I'm buying all my clothes at Target
I would never spend $400 on jeans, but I do have a few pairs of jeans that were around $90 - $100. The more expensive jeans are actually nice quality than something you would buy at Target. They are more comfortable and last longer, and the material just feels better, it's hard to describe.
Why do you care so much about GAffers or what other people do with their money? Go fuck someone bareback.
because i took offense to the self-righteous hypocrites leveling their judgement on people who opt to spend their money on something other than videogames.
$70-$80 is the most that I ever spent on jeans. I don't think that I'll be doing that again anytime soon.
$300+ on jeans? I never understood how high school and college students were able to do that.

Personally, I take offense that people choose to live with their parents long after passing the appropriate age to do so. It's almost as if they'd rather spend their money on gaudy, unnecessary vanity items than paying rent and being an actual adult.

I'm not hating, I'm just kind of pointing out how absurd it is for you to make judgements on other people's spending habits when you're not paying rent or a mortgage somewhere. If money were no issue, I'm sure things would be different but speaking for myself I certainly can't see paying what I pay in rent almost for a piece of clothing.

How many threads do TVC and MAF make mocking people who don't share their spending habits, though? Talk about insecure.

weren't you once destitute and homeless?
seriously, and maybe it wasn't you, but i could have sworn there was a whiteman on gaf who made a few topics that bordered on serious cries for help with their lamentations homelessness and drug addiction.
if it's a different guy, i apologize.
no, i was just fascinated by your turnaround, recalling those stories of hopelessness. that's all. there are times when i regret dropping out of the CS program, knowing i'd probably be a lot more well off than i am now. but i also know i wouldn't be nearly as happy had i stuck with it, so it's a fair enough tradeoff. for me.

What do you do for a living, if you don't mind me asking?
Personally, I wouldn't spend more than $200 on anything that's not rent or perhaps a computer. So seeing you buy fucking clothing for 400 dead presidents makes me wretch.

i just don't spend my money on much else but clothes, as it's an addiction of mine.

i was once a po'bucker sysadmin/programmer making $24K/yr in oklahoma. not sayin' yer take on white man's history is incorrect (although i know him well enough to say that you're being quite disingenuous), but: time passes. people change. in 1994, i was a total cigarillo for any animu shit, and i thought ff4 was a great game. now? not so much!

If that's your hobby and what you choose to spend the money on, that's fine... but when people get egos about it "oh look at me, I own all these designer $400+ jeans!" and condescend on people who would prefer to spend their money elsewhere, that's when it gets bothersome.
i like looking like a million dollars.
At last, a way to quantify your delusion!
If we take the ratio of your actual appearance ($400) to your perceived self-image ($1,000,000), we can determine that your sense of self-worth is inflated over reality by a whopping 250,000%.
Seek help!
at the end of the day, no matter their retail pricing, these things are just pieces of denim assembled by fourteen years-old Indonesian girls paid 19 cents an hour in a sweat shop
so is it worth it to pay more than 20-30 dollars when you can get away with it? how will anyone spot the difference, it all seems like a bunch of placebo
people pay large sums for crap all the time. $600 for a ps3 is no more ludicrous than $400 for pants, and at least the latter might get you tail from a certain type of chick although you might miss out on all those blu-ray classics. i myself buy my jeans at costco for $25-$45 a pair, but if i wasn't married to a woman who continues to love me despite her complaints about my fashion sense, i could see myself bustin' out the bucks for a pair of overpriced trousers. hey, we do what we can to compensate, right futami?
Because much like the ps3, $400 jeans is not getting your money's worth. YOu can get similiar or better for much less. The main quote here is::Quotelooked no different than anything I've ever worn.
If I am supporting child labor, I'll do it in small $20 yearly purchases and not $400 overpricings. You do realize you are being overcharged right? Stores that sell you 400 dollar jeans are also selling the same novelty t-shirts target has at double the price. Don't think that practice stops at the shirts. You really can not tell the difference between most clothes until you look at the tag. You can only tell different styles, and looking stylish has nothing to do with how much you pay. I get compliments on my clothes more than anything else physically about me. I don't overpay for designer jeans though. I just use my head and sense of art.
Overpaying for any goods is what people do when they have no sense of taste, but want to look like they do. It's the logic of "well if its expensive it must be good then right?" It's like the overpriced restaurant the yups go to because of the prices, when theres a better and not as expensive place around the block that the people in the know go to.
$500 jeans?
jesus Futami do you and your parents live in a trash dump or something?
dcharlie doesn't wear anything other than $1000 jeans. Infact my new pair are made of crushed PS3 and baby seal pelt.

WHOP MY WAD ON THE COUNTAAAAAAAA!Quote"at least the latter might get you tail from a certain type of chick"
I got to ask Futami, as someone who hasn't lived with their parents since they were 17 i need to know the logistics : what happens when you bring tail home ?
in order for me to elicit the interest of those females i'm attracted to, it helps to look well-groomed, which includes a certain style that is an admitted drain on the finances.
If you want a woman who is interested in money, rather than a woman who is interested in you, keep up the good work.

when they ask my why i live at home, i tell them that my apartment had a fire, due to an idiot roomie, and that it's just temporary.:lol :lol
Why not just spend $400 on a beautiful whore (whatever your concept of beauty is, of course) and cut out all the extra effort?
futami convinced me to go the highend route on jeans and i'll never be the same
the quality and fit are simply amazing. i don't think i'll ever shop at GAP or AF or BR ever again.
it's a bit femme to talk about "quality" and "fit"
it's one thing to talk about attracting women with your denim-styled bling
it's another to talk like a chick about how they fit, jesus

Can women tell from a distance, that your pants cost $400?
I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess no.
I'm sure your winning personality doesn't keep them around long enough for you to tell them how much you blow on stupid accoutrements either.
your idea of flirting is rubbing your unkempt beard against the face of a female while sticking your tongue out like a saint bernard.

so, just curious, are you dating now Futami?
or is dating not your scene?
The problem with $400 jeans is that they don't look ANY CUTER than $150 jeans. There comes a point when more spending stops meaning more VALUE to the purchased product and becomes spending for the sake of bragging about spending.

no, triumph did.

I'm a school psychologist, I only make $42,000 a year. If I wasn't married to my wife, who makes about $85,000 a year, I wouldn't be living in Seattle. I'd probably live in the town where I work, as the rent is much less than Seattle.
House hunting is horribly depressing, we'd like stay below $425,000, which pretty much puts us in the ghetto known as South Seattle.

I can't say I blame you for living at home, then... I'm in a similar situation, but instead of forking over so much money on clothes, shouldn't you put that money towards saving for a house? Have you thought about a condo or co-op? Those are probably cheaper... And I'm sure you can find something cheaper than $800k in a decent part of town, hell it's not even that expensive on the Island.

Actually, I don't see why. You learn to live within your means and make a budget, which includes rent/mortgage and other bills. I realized that I would never make a ton of money when I was applying for school psych graduate programs, and I was fine with that.

i make a little more than 42k...high 40s. so, yeah, you can see why i have a difficult time moving out.
Actually, I don't see why. You learn to live within your means and make a budget, which includes rent/mortgage and other bills. I realized that I would never make a ton of money when I was applying for school psych graduate programs, and I was fine with that.
i'm terrible at saving.
i mean, once i get a check, i blow through it like a crackwhore does $20.
i'm an impulsive guy.
Eh, it sucks, but I wouldn't say it's criminal. It's just a fact of adult life.

Time to grow up and be an adult, then. From the way you've described yourself, living at home, you'll never learn how.
:lol
You're 30? Where exactly do you take these whores? Your mama's couch?
you're right.
although they let me live here, my parents constantly say i need to grow up and stop acting like i'm still a teenager.
they say it's embarrassing that a 30 year old guy acts the way i do.
the debauchery.
the whores.
the fast living.
my mom sits home at nights, pining for my return, waiting for just a turn of the key to set her heart to rest.
i need to stop.
