I don't think anyone should pay less than 100$ for a pair of jeans. I have several jeans that range from $120-300$. I've had most of them for over four years. I'm sure most people with jeans that cost them 20-40$ can't say the same..
That's crazy! I found 30 dollar jeans taht were originally 180, that didn't need any alterations! ..when I can find deals like that, you can't pay me to spend that much on jeans!
Just because clothes (or anything for that matter) is made in China doesn't mean it's poor. Research has shown that Chinese made products are no less worse than American made products, and buying Chinese made products is good for the US economy. I reccomend doing some research before talking about how Chinese make goods are "junk."
To each his own. If you want to pay this sort of prices for clothes made in China, enjoy. I don't care about your "research"; I care about the empirical evidence I come across every day. Just about anything made there is inferior.
Brooks Brothers is classic American prep style. It's as American as apple pie, but I realize not everyone is going to be into that.

Whenever I go to the mall I see so many stores where they have nice clothing but it is way overpriced. One example I can think of is Buckle. I like some of their clothes but I do not want to pay $50 for a t-shirt and $100 for jeans. Anyone else feel this way?
I am totaly agree with you on that. I don't shop in Buckle anymore. Their clothes not only expensive but very bad quality, particular shoe. You can get better quality for a lot less at Macy's if you know what day to shop. I used to work at Macy's before and I couldn't believe what a steal we used to sell. Ralph Lauren silk blouse for $30 original price $165, Calvin Klein goose winter jacket with cool desin $90 off original price of $360 and much more.

As a side note, most of their clothes aren't even made in china. Suits are made in Italy or other EU countries, pants in canada or S america, and sweaters in EU also.
Yeah, fair.... Admittedly a lot of my jeans that are 3+ have some rips and tears in them. I usually only buy Nudie, G-Star (not the ridiculous ones) or Jack Jones (Random European brand).
Good post. I like the mall type of stores that show 'buy one get one for a dollar'...but the original item costs double the price anyway...example: bras for 35 bucks. Buy one, get another for a dollar..youre still paying about 17 bucks each, whereas I only pay about 10 bucks at Walmart for one, no bargain there. Just my 2c.
Good peeve.
