A $425 pair of men's heavily-distressed, straight-leg blue denim jeans sold at Nordstrom, which according to the retailer's website, has "seen some hard-working action with a crackled, caked-on muddy coating that shows you're not afraid to get down and dirty."
... Finally - a pair of jeans that look like they have been worn by someone with a dirty job…made for people who don't.

the jeans are "a costume for wealthy people who see work as ironic –- not iconic." 'More money than brains'.

This should be filed under “a fool and his money”. I don’t know why he’s going on about this.
To: DUMBGRUNT
Me, people worry about dumb things. Expensive ugly jeans you’ll never actually see anybody wearing just don’t matter.

How about marketing a pair of jeans that a Sanitation worker could have worn?

I suspect the real question is; was “Nordstrom”, correctly spelled.

It's the triumph of (very bizarre) style over substance, of fakery over authenticity.

I've got a great marketing scheme for jeans.
I remember working at a sewage treatment plant for a few months.
After I left, I threw my work clothes out, because no matter how many times, or how I washed them, I just couldn't get the smell out.
How about dirty jeans that smell like a sewage plant?
Nothing says hard work, like a dirty, SMELLY pair of jeans.
I bet I could sell them for $750 a pair.
Display them near the front door of Nordstroms at Woodfield, so that the scent can waft through the mall. Guaranteed to draw more people to Nordstroms.

Urban Lumber Jacks Are they "OK"? Do they sleep all night and work all day?

Yeah, the preppies or yuppies, walking around in their Timberlands...with nary a scratch on them.
I have no idea if the guys wear them or not.

They put on women’s clothing and hang around in bars.

Add to the list kids who snowboard/race motorcycles/race cars, etc in video games...and think it equates to a real life experience doing these things.
