Only kidding, I'm the same, perhaps its because we both got a Mrs?

If I go out with her, mate family, all of them whoever, I can't wait to get in and take my jeans or trousers off and stick some shorts on.  They make my legs tired.

What's wrong with jeans? Or do you prefer clown suits... you clown porn fanatic you.

@Zimmer, yes I agree. I'll pay over $100 for a suit, a nice jacket, or nice dress shoes. Otherwise, I keep it reasonable. I mean shit I've seen t-shirts that cost $100. They probably only cost $1 to make. Some might say that me paying $50 for a game is silly as well, but games these days can take millions in development.

My $15 polo from Gap looks great and feels great. I doubt a $70 one from Armani would be much better.

@Bennis, I hope those pants don't actually have that red stripe :S

They represent so many aspects of what is wrong with society. Materialism, consumerism, lack of perspective when it comes to needs, all to the highest degree. The product in many cases intentionally comes defective. What. the. hell. Now kudos to the companies that can market this crap and make millions off of it, really it's impressive, but the fact they make millions on this stuff is absurd. Jeans have lived well past their usefulness in our everyday society, and have become nothing more than a personal statement that costs more than $50.

I could deal with some degree of excessiveness, but even the product in its pure, efficient form is flawed. Jeans themselves are an obsolete product that takes forever to dry when wet, lets the wind through comparatively a lot more, and when in the typical suburban/urban form are not the tough product that they once were, they've been softened to make them comfortable. There is no reason, unless as I said you work in a mine, what jeans were first invented for, that jeans should still be being used over other, more practical fabrics.

You want a way to tax the rich and not the poor? Tax fashion items over $100. The government would make billions.

The most I've paid for jeans is like $50. I use them because they're comfortable. I can find khakis or slacks that cost a hell of a lot more than some jeans.

They're comfortable. Like I said, jeans were not meant to be comfortable, they were meant to be tough, and making them comfortable removed all their practical aspects.

Yeah you can find a lot of clothing items that cost more than $50. Those however, in most cases actually look nice, and can be worn formally. That doesn't really excuse it, but you aren't paying tens or hundreds of dollars that should be taken back and fixed.

you've never worn carhartts.  or you've never worked a day in your life.  there is nothing defective about good work pants.

Not the second. I haven't even heard of carhartts.

There is nothing defective about good work pants, that's my point. If the jeans are sturdy, quality pants that's great, but 99% of the time (practically willing to put money on that) the kind people wear in the suburbs/urban areas are either a) cheap, and as with anything, are not quality or b) superficial, not meant for working.

Carpenter jeans were part of our uniform for the scout troop I was in, and I hated it. They tore easily, were colder in the winter than any other kind of pants, and you were pretty much screwed if you got them wet on a cold weekend. They hold so much water they get ridiculously heavier when wet as well, making them a bitch to backpack with.

I loved the zipoff pants that were in fashion a few years ago. Practical as all get out.

they're a very heavy denim.  brand new they're like cardboard, but they break-in very well.  I'm not sure why they call them duck pants, they aren't specificallly meant for duck hunting and they aren't water-proof, but it does take a lot of rain to saturate them.  The front knee area is a double layer of denim and they use a lot of rivets.  they've got pockets on the side of each leg and a hammer loop on the left leg.  I've never had a seam break.

barring abuse, a single pair of duck pants lasts me a year or two.  that's being worn 5+days a week either working on cars and trucks, or doing construction and being washed at least three times per week. 

I hate to sound like a salesman, but they're great pants.

on good job Rec ..... except there not denim, there canvas ........... carhartts are still 100% cotton just like denim jeans buts its how they are manufacture is where the difference in denim and canvas comes out

Carhartt makes different degrees of those pants .... the ones you show are the heaviest bc of the double knee, you can go down 1 level to single knee (the most popular and what I wear) or go another to the B182 Carhartt pants they are 7.5 oz in compared to the 12 oz double/single pants with the same durability

Guess what? Wear and tear = same. Design = same. Feel = same.

Only difference was that 2 of them had stupid little names on the side of them and stupid price tags.

Welcome to the real world.
I should probably add I had them tailor fitted

If some company creates a jeans that you can wear right after they're washed and the pants will feel like you've been wearing them for days and are fully broken in, those will be my new favorite and I will worship those jeans.
