Why do jeans that look old and worn cost so much more?

THe most I have ever spent on a pair of jeans was $45 for Black Levi Silvertabs. I don't even own a pair of jeans anymore. Khaki and Twill pants are cheaper, better veriety, breath better and keep the boys cooler.
Not to mention I am bigger in my older age so it is easier to find dress type pants in my size rather than spending a premium for "Big and Tall" (AKA: FAT) jeans.

Somehow, I feel sorta ghetto for spending $30 tops on my jeans 😕
...men with a discriminating sense of dress...
...when shopping for clothes?
SHOPPING FOR CLOTHES? WTF, that's what my wife does! I dont call grabbing a pair of pants off the shelf, and checking out, "shopping".

You know those drawstring beach khakis at the gap are pretty damn comfy. I bought 1 of each color.

as said before depends on wash and what not.
my pair of seven's didn't come worn or faded nor did my french connection.
And my gap girl jeans have nice washes on them.
However, If i were to walk into hollister or Abercrombie, I would pay 75 bucks for a pair of jeans that will rip in various spots/have holes in them/and look like they have been washed 1000 times and fit nowhere near as well as le said jeans.
i blame teenagers with poor fashion sense.
getting a decent pair of jeans isn't that difficult..i only paid 60-75 bucks for my fcuk/diesel/ 7's and my gap ones were 50 each i believe
just gotta know where to shop : )

i got mine at filene's basement.
i'm sure there are similar types of stores strewn about the united states as well as "higher class" vintage/thrift stores who carry designer stuff.

I got a pair of those "dirty/old" jeans - sand-colour "wash" on the fabric. I guess you could call it that, anyway. I'm not a fashion guy.
£10. Still going strong, a year or two on now.

I'm nowhere near any sort of fashion expert, but I agree. I don't understand why people don't want to look good. I suppose it really shouldnt surprise anyone though... I mean with "stick out your left hand...i want to try something" and reading some of the various YAGT's, it's no wonder people dont have a clue about such things.
Whatever though, enjoy the Wranglers.

worn, beat up, dragged across the desert behind a horse jeans are just better than freshly pressed pristine jeans that all there is too it.
what you can do an this is what ive done, buy a pair of pair of cheapish jeans. they'll probably be pristine denim all the same colour. then was em loads n loads times, scrunch em up, be really rough with them to make them loose. then i dunno use em to go out play football or something, properly abuse them so they get scuffs, and tears and faded spots. do some diy, or painting in them so u get abit of un removable dirt on them, a few rips here and ther and your sorted.
though buying them pre-beat up is much easier....and you pay for the priviledge i guess
