They can't. I shop for clothes at Wal Mart. I can pick up a nice pair of Levi's for 35.00. Good price.

Plus, I look for nice dress clothes and suits at thrift stores. You can get top level clothes for great prices. I bought a 900 suit, practically new, for 125. Can't beat that.

Also, fish,hunting, detecting clothes for dirt cheap.

Pay 60 bucks for a pair of Levi's that walmart sells for 20 bucks unless you wear women's jeans


Jean Therapy Levi's 527's and 514's go for $50-$60 bucks.

It's a store that sells jeans. They have several locations. Not sure if it's "trendy" or not

Because the cheap shite feels like shite, the bottoms fray easily, color fades, don't fit right, get fricked up in a year of wash cycles etc.

Catch the high cost stuff on sale. Marvel in the glory

I might sound like your grandpa, but there are places where a bag of rice is unaffordable, so if you can't afford the fancy pants you have choices.

Clothiers should be able to charge whatever they want if people will pay that price. Good for them if they make a lot of money from people that have cash to spend.

Po people like me buy very nice clothes at the local consignment store.

they go by the bottom line.
customers decide if the company makes money, not Buddhist monks.

and yes, you probably could use some reeducation.
try this. I am worth it. Money comes to me, because I am.

Haven't paid over $39 for jeans since high school (over 15 years ago). I also found the more expensive jeans don't last as well as the $30-$35 price range. FYI, I usually buy Lucky jeans from steinmart.

Each year when I go to Poland I buy the best new style jeans and sports (usually Puma) gear available at open markets where the same "Euro" jeans would cost $150.00 in the mall can be bought for $10.00 U.S. there. Same for the Puma sports gear and sneakers.

Quality material and quality workmanship (stitching and tailoring), ain't cheap.
