  It's a few hundred bucks. If you're in the category of buying luxury pants, this is not much money. I really do not care how affordable it is for people making minimum wage, and am obviously not talking about their perspective.

    Yes you were, when you brought (fake) JC Penney prices in for comparison.

      Nope, I was pointing out that even the cheapo jeans are still pretty expensive. Also, stop being weird and antagonistic - they weren't "fake", it's called a "mistake" you brick.

  HN is full of very wealthy people, I don’t think pointing this out is that useful. It’s pretty obvious who the target audience is there.

  I think it's implied that one would need to buy the cheap pants several times to match the lifespan of the expensive pants.
