Dayum! This reminds me of when I was at a secondhand store in Florida with my mother. While we were looking at clothes, an employee took a phone call. She said to the owner, “This caller wants to know if we take jeans on consignment.” “Only if they retailed for over $100,” said the owner.

I’ll trash an old pair of jeans with real work dirt and sell them to you for a hundred.

[bgill]

I have a few pairs that I’d let go for half that.

Geez, imagine what the price would be if the hems were frayed, there were rips in the knees and a couple of broken belt loops.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Even the emulators and imitators know where things are going now.

REDNECK!

[onedoug]

...ping....

[GnuThere]

I’d like to get a pair then send them to a hotel laundry as a joke.

It’s Zoolander come true: “I call it derelict”

Looks to me like the plumber was too close to the waste line while running the rooter. Mud?, looks more like dooda!

[Daffynition]

Mike Rowe spoke about these? Good laugh.

Le Petit Hameau du Reine:

Louis XIV's wife, the Queen of France, was a huge fan of Rousseau, who wrote of The Jungle and The Noble Savage.

But here she was, in this HUUUUUGE castle, right? Freaking VERSAILLES..!! All kinds of opulent stuff. She, too, wanted to feel the AUTHENTIC grit of the Jungle and Being Poor, right..?

I know it's ridiculous, but work with me, kay..?

She got out her 10 pots of gold and sent her architecht and workmen out to MAKE HER A HAMLET..!

And so THERE IT IS, her own little Safe Space where the Queen could go and PLAY POOR --she'd milk cows, even.

All to PRETEND like she was in some Rousseau book.

Right up until she got her head chopped off, yup.

Everyone I know who does work that gets you dirty goes home after work and cleans up before going out. I guess metrosexuals can’t think of things like this. I mean seriously. WTF?

You can tell the level of a culture by the way it’s people look. My parents used to dress up just to go to the market. Since the 60s and the rise of hippie culture the level of dress has plummeted. Now people look like crap and act like it too.

[chalkfarmer]

I guess I can market my weedeating overalls.

[Figment]

That is pathetic

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

So, I can sell my husbands old jeans?

With real cow patty smeared on them they should go for at least $500.

This is great for those male country artists who wake at noon to get their facials, drink Perrier wine spritzers, wear $5k cowboy boots on their pedicured feet, and then have sex with their masseuse before they go on stage to sing about blue collar jobs, back country dirt roads, and ice cold beer. You know who you are.

This fad has come, gone and is back again.

I remember, over 30 years ago, I would occasionally deliver cleaning fluid to a dry cleaners.
One trip the owner showed me a pair of worn out jeans that had a “certificate of authenticity” sewn on it certifying that the jeans had been worn by a “Montana cowboy”.
The cleaners owner told me the jeans were retailing for just over $100.
And that was over 30 years ago.

Fools and their money are soon parted.

Nordstrom Selling Fake-Mud Jeans For $425

[budj]

No problem here - capitalism, pure and simple.

If you’re dumb enough to buy them, they’re smart enough to sell them.

[N. Theknow]

What next?

Fake skid-mark underwear?
