For me it has nothing to do with the name/brand on the jeans, it is about the fit, the look, etc.
I get sooo many compliments on my jeans it is crazy and i am sure that those that do the same here in this thread would out-number in compliments those that do not spend the money to get the best jeans and looks they can. Looking good and with-it without going over the top is easily 50% of the battle for success out there in the real world IMO.
I guess in certain industries it is less important than others, but (for example) being able to pull off a great Friday look while other co-workers use it as an excuse to 'take a day off' is a big deal when it comes to who jumps out in superiors minds as 'with it'. Not to mention the difference in dealing with women....
And i get a LOT of wear out of those expensive jeans. If i wear them 200 times they are only a a bit more per wear over cheap jeans - and i can easily justify an extra $0.85 in value out of each time i wear them when standing next to someone with cheap jeans. ($80 v. $250 > over 200 wears > $0.40 v. $1.25) Even though in relative terms they are much more (more than double obviously), in absolute terms of $/wear it is not that bad IMHO.
I had a pair of cheap Jack&Jills from a shop on 17th Ave once (Hot Gossip or something?) that were alright though?? But they were more of a Sunday-around-the-house jean....

I am not doubting what you say but in your industry people really get promoted based on what jeans they wear on casual Friday?
If these jeans seem to look better and make everyone here fell better than I am not going to say anything about them getting them but having seen them on the internet I have to say I don't understand how they look any better or all that different for jeans selling for $80-100.
I get plenty of wear out of my $80 dollar jeans, certainly close enough to negate the $120+ difference.
