  1. I hope, in addition to the fashionable grease and dirt, these jeans feature a healthy spattering of literal b.s.

  3. Migod; i am going to the rag bag. i probably have at least Ten Pairs of similar Jeans. Nordstrom pricing @ & 100.00/U$ Times 10 Times 1.35 = $1,315.00 Trudeau Bucks.
    Nope I don’t Mean Trudeau’s Butts; that would be bringing things down to a personal level.

  6. Fools are parted from their money.
    When I was an undergrad during the mid-1970s, I heard radio ads for “pre-washed” or “pre-faded” jeans produced by some manufacturer or another. I don’t recall the price but I’m sure that customers had to pay a premium for that look.
    The one question I had was: “Why?” Then again, that was people could buy pet rocks and mood rings. Go figure.

  8. I call it the faux proletarian look.
    So far I’ve demurred, but I’m always on the verge of alerting some fetching young chick that there’s a hole in the knee of her jeans …. just in case she wasn’t aware. My wife has delivered a very stern warning.
    FENDER GUITARS.
    Just bought a spanking new Fender Precision bass to replace the one I had to pawn in 1969.
    I move slowly.
    Get this: there are “worn” versions available. I couldn’t believe it.
    Will there never be and end to this phony poserism.

  9. I wouldn’t be buggerin around on SDA if I had the killer idea that you have, McRae.
    Get back to that sewing machine and get those goat suits on the market! They’ll be all the rage in Trawna in no time flat!

  11. I must say they do have the greatest selection of button down shirts. And so close to my house. Other than that, the store sucks. Pretty much everything they sell is a rip.

  14. My historical notes remind me that this meme started in Hong Kong many, many, moons ago
    when someone forgot it was time to shut off a yuge load of new jeans being stone washed.

  15. Get your friggin order straight MacMaster! First you wanted “Trawna” shlt smears, and now you’re talkin’ Ottawa. It smells the same to some, but to a true connoisseur of Canadian urban shlt, the regional differences are essential. How many of each?

  16. These are easy to make!! Gather your friends and follow;
    step 1: Eat 10 extra spicy vegan burritos
    step 2: drink a bottle of tequila or vodka
    step 3: lock yourself in a hot chevy in Walmart parking lot for 16 hours(preferably with vinyl seats)
    and voila, hipster!
    *consult Peter Griffin for tips on locking yourself in a car

  17. I have a few pair looking like this foe sale. it will save me from having to wash them after wearing them while I actually worked to get them dirty.

  19. I know what you mean. I just bought a new Fender Telecaster. You can get distressed Tely’s too. The way I play my new one will get distressed soon enough.

  21. Ahhhhh … so NOWwwwww … I know WHY Nordstrom dropped the Ivanka Trump line of clothing …
    Nordstrom’s customer base is … ah … incompatible with beautiful people of REAL accomplishment like Ivanka. Let alone REAL working people who do the REAL …DIRTY JOBS so aptly described by Mike Rowe.

  23. I agree. I have no idea why this rich people’s shít is news. It’s like announcing what toilet paper or tampons Leonardo DiCaprio uses.

  24. “I’m curious to see the washing instructions.”
    I’m convinced it involves cats and flushing toilets.

  25. It’s all about being able to brag up that you shop at Nordstroms.
    Of course, everyone knows how expensive everything in that store is. There is a ton of snob appeal to being a Nordstrom shopper.

  27. I might be weird, but I never had jeans stained on the outsides of my legs and the crotch.

  28. It reminds me of the old joke about the American visiting the then-Soviet Union being approached by a Russian, “I am offering one hundred dollar for your blue jeans”, to which the American replied, “But they are old and faded and dirty”, and to which the Russian responded, “Okay then two hundred dollar”.

  29. MND,
    Very true, tho I think the word has to be FAUXLETARIAN.

    PS: Nice work by Niccola T, and Kevin, among others 😉
    PPS: capcha was “Clowne 1958”

  31. if we had a famine then they could get their jeans dirty by digging for food.

  32. Hmmm. Looks bit faked. They can’t even get that right. But I guess it must remain distinguishable who CAN work und who can’t. Oh wait, other way around. Working is not cool.
    … and for sure, these pants wouldn’t stand up to a true work day.
