A denim bubble?

[Cowperson]

A company sells blue jeans at $460 US a pair . . . . and sales are booming to the tune of $100 million a year.

Will there be a denim bubble?

My G/F works retail, and apparently the ultra expensive jeans are "out" and everyone is going back to Levi's.

So yes, the bubble will soon burst, and my 501's from 6 years ago (that look faded because I wear them so much) will soon be hip again.

I disagree, I don't think it will burst. Levi's are just too damn ugly to make any kind of comeback. It's all about how you look in turns makes you feel good. I swear, if any of you Levi wearer ever put on a pair of Diesel's, you can't go back to Levi's. Of course money is a big issue, but if you could afford it, you'd buy the Diesel's.

I think designer jeans are here to stay. Every year Diesel puts out something new and fresh that is just fantastic. There will always be people with money who love this stuff. Gucci's been around since 1921 and people still buy their $600 bags and $300 sunglasses.

There never has been and never will be a shortage of suckers, so I think it's here to stay.

Her most recent report on the subject, in August, noted a "particularly troubling" number of markdowns on high-end brands, including...

You just have to laugh. Particularly troubling? Indeed. How can she sleep at night?

I have a couple of pairs of diesel jeans and I prefer my Levi's Jeans. They last just as long and break in better. At over $100.00 cheaper per pair, why not buy these?

I'm actually enjoying the Lee jeans I've bought; they are reather stylish, look good and are a good price. Hey, if it's good enough for a gay guy like me :P

Man I must be really poor, I don't even like to spend $40 on jeans, I just can't justify spending $100 on a pair of pants.

Yay discount rack at Gap or Eddie Bauer.. thats usually were I find mine, if I'm lucky enough to find my size...
And snappy, your sig makes me fall to the ground and shake a bit....

I disagree. Nothing so fine as a man's butt in Levi's.

Buffalo and Diesel Jeans from Winners! I'll never buy these things full price...but then again, what guy needs more than 1 pair of pants?
