uhh thx. i didn't even realize stacked was that tv show with her in it until you mentioned it.

NP, I really am trying to help, the first post was just my lead-in :D. I'll let you know if I think of anything.

QFT... don't see why people hate on $200 jeans, considering most on here wouldn't flintch dropping $500+ on a video card... to each his own I guess. $150-$200 is basically entry level for designer jeans nowadays anyway:

Men's
Women's

Many pairs of Rock & Republic, True Religion, etc at $300+

Either way, if the OP can pull of some nice looking, high quality jeans for less, who's going to complain? Oh, and I'd go with Traffic...

BS. If "most" people wouldn't flinch at a $500 video card, the Hot Deals section wouldn't be one of the busiest areas here. Not everyone is duped into parting with their hard earned money so easily.

Have you thought about some spanish names since the target demographic is young hispanic girls? Something that has meaning in spanish but also sounds familar in english might work. I don't know enough spanish to come up with much but here goes;

"Miran", it means they look or watch in english. This seems kinda fitting since most girls buy jeans and stuff to look good in right?

We had a list of spanish words that I took off because we determined that in the case we wanted to transition out of the local/target market, it would be best to use a label that's more non-targeted.

I have had $200 jeans and $30 pair of hustler jeans from farm & fleet. guess which was more conferable and lasted longer? yeap the $30 pair of jeans.

Hustler makes jeans? :confused:

heh i had it spelled right but the spell check changed it.

rustler jeans

edit: hmm but if hustler did make jeans would they come with a free suscription? hmm i would buy them then!@

Dunno about a subscription, but they might come without a crotch area, if Hustler makes 'em!! :laugh:

$200 for jeans? Only if I'm buying about 12 pairs for that total price!! :roll:

$200???? For jeans????
Did Steve Balmer make them out of carbon nanofiber thread?
I pay $30 or less for almost any article of clothing. Only specialty things like winter coats garner more money, and then less than $100.

I guess $200 jeans are like buying a sports car or Hummer - it's just something to announce to the world, "I have sh~tloads of throwaway income!"

That makes sense, but you could get around it by finding a word like miran that doesn't sound distinctly spanish to english speakers, but is still instantly recognized by spanish speakers.

I *hate* it when geeks complain about fashion items costing too much. I really like my $70 pair of express jeans - they're just cut more flattering than the kmart $20 specials... $200 jeans? I don't have the body or income for it but if make the money why not spoil yourself a bit? I personally don't get fashion but fashionistas are wondering why you kids spend $500 on video cards that allow you to play games...

Not to be a hater or anything, but I don't think there is exactly a hole in the market for a new mid-priced, somewhat stylish, no name (for a long while at least) brand of jeans.

That's why our container is almost sold out already huh?

So yea, there actually is a hole in the market; there is a considerable amount of barriers to entry.

I'm going to try to reserve a couple boxes for friends, but no guarentees. FYI these are girls' jeans.

I dunno to who or where you sold em, but I doubt I can actually go into a store and buy em. I do know I can go into a store and buy jeans for $40, you're arent the first.

Best of luck to you, but please, let someone else handle customer service.
