Is it really any dumber than expensive pre-shredded jeans?

More and more I’m starting to think that stunt products like this are just a “click leader”–like a loss leader but an eyeball-grabbing outrage-mongering click-baiting awareness pixel in the overall attention economy. It doesn’t matter if they sell any, only that people clicked and that impressions were registered upon eyeballs and unique visitors were logged and tracking pixels were delivered.

Yes. The pre-shredded is merely destruction. This is destruction and then reconstruction. So it’s more effort for the same awful effect.

They do serve their purpose though. . . if their purpose is to make you look like some kind of idiotic fashion-victim fop.

Surprisingly affordable, when compared to other recent “fashion” offerings. I want to see all of Congress wearing these.
Maybe “see” isn’t the correct word…

I think they’re kind of sexy, though the asymmetrical fold is too large.
Also, they cost too much, but not outrageously so.
ETA: Oh, that’s a SALE price. Yeah, regular price is pretty out there.

This seems to be one of those clothing items that works best without underwear…

I feel like this is going to end up on Saf’s “questionable fashion decisions” playlist before too long… Compared to the $700 slenderman jacket she bought, this is a steal!

These are quite possibly the worst pants ever. Ugh!
That list is woefully out of date.
I’m disappointed in the list maker.
