Currently, Gucci holds the Guinness World Record for the most expensive jeans: they sold in stores for $3,134 in 1998 and featured African beads, feathers, and designer rips.
Well, I've got news: there's a new "designer rip" [off] out there.
From New York-based Calvin Stewart come APO Jeans, which - tricked-out with a diamond button and rivets - start at $4,000.
Of course, you could buy the economy version: they run only $1,000 a pair.
I had no idea you were so cheap.
Really.
For your grand you'll get the bargain-basement special, so be warned: silver buttons and rivets, no extras.
You can upgrade to 14k white or yellow gold for $1,500; platinum will set you back $3,250.
"All jeans will come with an authenticity number as well as an appraisal sheet from a top jeweler in the New York diamond district."
Yeah, don't forget the appraisal sheet if you expect to get into the really hot clubs.
Otherwise, it's like when you went back to school after being absent without bringing a note from a parent; you're just asking for trouble.
But wait, there's more - from the website:
- Personalized designer jeans that are exclusively made for their clients' individual fit.
Our goal is to target sports, entertainment, and business professionals.
Our jeans are made with some of the most expensive denim in the world.
Unlike other jean zippers, our zippers are specially polished and plated.
APO Jeans' one-of-a-kind pockets are made with exotic silk satin rather than the regular cotton material used by other jeans.
And last but not least, each label is personalized with the client's name and ID number, enhancing each individual jeans' exclusiveness.
Well, I'm tired of everyone else in the world cashing in while I sit here watching.
From this point forward I'm only going to offer "Designer Anesthesia™."
I've just applied for a trademark for the term.
What exactly is Designer Anesthesia™, you ask?
That will be the subject of a future post.
Heck, I don't want you to abandon me now, when I'm just getting going....
But I will give you a hint: it's very expensive.
Q. What is the sound of bling?
A. Ka-ching!

"shouldn't have bought them" not "shouldn't of bought them".
That's not a typo, that's ignorance. If you have $4000, I think you should spend it on an education. Public school is still free I believe, so take advantage of that if you still can.
But, if you want to spend $4000 for jeans, by all means, go ahead. Personally, I'm not after the respect or admiration of anyone who would care about such an article of clothing.
Good for the designer. They are making a buck serving a gap in the marketplace. Remember, something is only worth as much as someone else is willing to pay.
