> The vast majority of people wouldn't recognize the different between a $30 and a $500 pair of jeans on the street I suspect most women could tell you the difference between $30 and $200 jeans easily. Maybe not in passing, but certainly in person. You actually see huge leaps in quality between $50 and $200 in terms of both material and construction quality. Anything significantly above $200 and you're just buying brand though so the differentiation is harder (and less meaningful). As with most things you wear though $50 jeans that fit beat out $400 jeans that don't any day.
