In reply to the discussion: I just bought a pair of jeans for $230. [View all]Tink41
(537 posts)90. What will you use them for?
I wear jeans everyday. At work, my job requires it, at home because my activities require them. Same thing when I go out. But here's why I ask my question. The things I do in jeans would prevent me from being comfortable rolling 230 dollars in it. Sweat, dirt, concrete, muck, oil.. the list goes on. Just like it would be mental anguish to drive 40 thousand dollars around, rain, snow, salt, potholes, scratches, bumps, dings. I'd puke. Throw up. I make a very tidy living for a 1 person household, a Union household at that!
Could not justify or live with myself!!

He wouldn't "use union," his employees would be union. And I'd bet folding money -- the difference

After reading the thread, I am wondering if the pants come with corn flakes and a pit bull.

Pretty sure the OP has done an excellent punk job (ala the old Punked show).
