funny you mention that, I just got a pair from costco. my jeans cap is ~$25, I have to spend another 8-10 to get them altered (being 5'5" sucks). I've found I have to up my cap a bit to find some thin light weight jeans for the summer. I tried the Lucky brand ones since they seemed to fit the bill.Originally posted by: Ns1

I rarely pay more than $20. There's really no need to. I just get Wranglers from Target. Jeans aren't a fashion statement. The jeans I get last a long time.
Spending $200 on a pair of jeans is just stupid.
why is it stupid? some people would think spending 200 on a video card is stupid.
Sure, but the difference here is that a $200 pair of jeans and a $50 pair of jeans are going to have a similar performance. In most cases you're literally paying to have a different name printed on them. If $200 jeans are 4 times as durable and are guaranteed to last 4 times as long as regular jeans in regular conditions, then they might be worth it... but I doubt you're going to find a pair of jeans that'll last 15-20 years.
A $200 video card and a $50 video card aren't likely to perform in a similar way, have a similar warranty, or even do the same job.
disagree
a $30 pair of lucky's from Costco and a $110 pair of lucky's from the store feel entirely different.
I don't even wear my costco pair anymore because they feel so horrendously deficient compared to my "real" pairs.
It's alright, but doesn't feel special. Compared to the store, they are definitely not up to par. And I can tell the stitching is off. But these are for daily work wear, I could care less. I just need thin.
Even still, I wouldn't pay any more for "nice" jeans... just not worth it to me. That and my clothing budget is pitifully small =P Granted, everyone has their own priorities... most people wouldn't spend more than $2-300 on a camera. I have spent.. I don't want to talk about it....
