I just bought a pair of jeans for $230.
Never paid more than $60 in my life. Union made in the USA. Hopefully I won't be disappointed with the quality.

3. Congratulations! You make too much money!

8. Is there such thing as too much money?

21. I was just being kind of sarcastic, but since you asked,

yes I think there is too much money, at least for one person to have. Musk and Bezos come to mind. They don't seem to know what to do with theirs. At least some, like Bill Gates, use their money for philanthropy, like Rockefeller and Carnegie did. I've known people with a lot less than Musk and Bezos who still had too much money for themselves. It's a very subjective thing, I think. I'm not saying there's a solution to it either. Rich people's taxes should be higher, but that wouldn't really cut into a billionaire's stash much. But look what money did to Donald Trump. Like a lot of other things in life, I suppose, it's all in what you do with it.

22. What brand? Designer jeans go for that much.

You can get Union made jeans for less than a third of that price.

25. Williamsburg Garment Company. And $230 was the sale price.

27. Where does it indicate that it's union made?

28. This pair isn't because the owner custom makes it. But from what I have read..

...their non-custom jeans are union made.

29. Where did you read that information? I can't find it anywhere.

If this guy doesn't use union I will be disappointed.

33. He wouldn't "use union," his employees would be union. And I'd bet folding money -- the difference

in price between the jeans you bought and a pair of jeans with an actual union label in them -- that they're not. Ope!

34. Well that would certainly be a disappointment.

Sending an email to the the owner now to confirm union status.

35. Never a bad idea if you can't find the information on the website. Good luck!

why even bother; what's the point?

The envy drips over there. If the DUmmie wants to spend that amount on jeans, more power to him/her/it/they/them.

Myself? I find Goodwill sometimes has really nice jeans, super cheap..
Liberals disgust me. (Now I don't have to remember to put it on each post).

Because only the left goes searching for that which is not there in a desperate attempt to be offended about something.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

I'd hate to have this guy represent me in any legal matter if he gets his "facts" from reddit...

Probably at some point between where the materials for the fabric was made to when the finished product was completed at least one union worker was within 100 miles of said jeans, so that should count for something.

$230 for one pair of jeans? How?! Is this LPC Noob an ultra-pathetic virtue-signaler and DU-cred seeker?





Or a mole trying to see how much lunatic nonsense DUpipo will swallow at face value?

I doubt the 5 pair of jeans I have, cumulatively plus the governor's cut, cost $100. And they have lasted enough years of daily wear that I've forgotten how old they are.

My deceased grandmother could have sewn better jeans that that hideous shit.  :rofl:

I make DAMN good money and I'm not about to pay anywhere NEAR that amount for some jeans. I don't wear jeans but I do wear Chinos. I order my Chinos on sale because I'm not about to pay $90 for some Chinos when I can get them at $60 on sale. I normally just get them at discount stores like Marshalls. More money for bait, fishing gear, etc.
