it's easier to just get 1 idiot to buy quarter million dollar jeans, then try and sell hundreds of thousands of jeans to the masses

no shit...how ever ugly they are, even if he sells 1 pair to some uber douche, that's still better then trying to break in to the jeans market and selling them for $80

maybe these jeans don't even exist and they made them up so we would talk about the company.

Next thing people will go to the website, look at the other stuff which is more affordable. People will automatically call this a high end denim brand up their with the R&R's. An item like this just makes the brand more prestigious.
Think about the Veyron, they lose money selling this, but in the long run it creates a buzz. | Yeah it causes viral attention but at what cost to the reputation? Look at the well known Big 3 car companies. Their quality are close or rivaling their Japanese counterparts, yet their reputation has never recovered and almost seems forever tarnished. The mantra of "There's no such thing as bad publicity" is false IMO.
Anyways, looks like this is set up like a Nigerian scam. They're waiting for only that 1 person dumb enough to cash in big.

Why else do you buy expansive stuff?
Because they are EXPANSIVE!

Surely then, said pants are worth 250k for that fact alone.
I too love EXPANSIVE garments.

Ok for real now... I see lots of douche bags wearing Dussault hoodies and what not. They're of the same unsavory character of those wearing Audigier and Hardy garments. Slaves to what the media sells them with no real regard to style.
Purchase like sheep because someone tells you it's cool!

A small company trying to gain worldwide recognition for selling the best (in their opinion) jeans in the world. I'm sure if he didn't sell these jeans his company wouldn't bankrupt. Big 3 waste hundred of millions and over spend on everything but don't deliver what people want. End result, Jason Dussault won't go bankrupt from not selling this ONE pair of jeans, think of it as an investment for advertising. By making these, people across the globe will end up spreading this across the internet and drawing attention to the brand.

Why buy a pair of jeans when you should just buy a car for that money?

I see just as many abercrombie douche bags. Same shit different pile. Can't please them all. If we all dressed the same then this world would be even more boring than it already is.
Labelling certain people that wear brands, is like labelling everyone on RS a chinaman. There's probably more stuck up douches that wear Gap, Banana Republic, AF, AE, etc etc. They all look the same also. I'm not one to preach clothing, but hate it when bandwagon haters start hating on bullshit, then preaching how what they think is so much more tasteful.
To the Gap/AE/AF preppies, better dressed people are douches
To the rich yuppies, everyone not wearing things made in italy/europe have no taste
To hiphop homos, people wear normal sized clothing look gay
To EH/Affliction/Dussault things without skulls isn't cool
To hongers white people have no taste
to white people hongers have no taste
to blacks no one has taste
that my 2 cents
