Think about the poor person in China or India that had to wear those jeans while someone shot a hole into them so that your pampered American ass could then wear them as a fashionable statement

The method of creating the jeans with run down condition or used is time consuming and costly.This requires a lot of thought otherwise they wont sell so much hence the cost is higher!'Used' jeans come with a hefty price tag! The older they are the higher the price!Just like antique!

The same reason why kids these days will buy a 100$ pair of jeans, when they couldve bought 5 chess books for the same price. Or fed poor 3rd world children.

Whenever you purchase a product you are obviously purchasing the product itself but you are also purchasing the marketing. People who purchase jeans with holes in them are heavily influenced by marketing and therefore will experience a higher "marketing tax" on the products they buy. These jeans are often sold in stores in malls which must pay more for their retail space than Wal*Mart or K*Mart. They often employ only young attractive salespeople who demand a higher rate than those with lose arm-flab. The product itself may start out as regular jeans and so there might be some additional labor to create them but I suspect this is a small portion of the cost.

Because it's apparently art to create holes rather than make them yourself..and to have someone "create" art for you usually costs money..it's how the world go rounds..yeah..i don't really get it either

It takes precision engineering to put the right holes in the right places. That doesn't come cheap.

Anything for fashion. And to think that buying jeans with holes in them came from a style which accidentally originated in the eighties. Lol.
