Fashion Math - How Can Jeans Cost $300?


 (Click Photo to Enlarge)

 This is very clear and straight forward until you get to the "Other Cost" section. Check out the article and you'll see that about half of price of these $300+ jeans is in the retailer markup, yeah I know they could end up on the sale racks, so why not start the negotiation with a high-ball offer...I guess...

Stick to thrifting (thrift shops, consignment shops, clothing resellers, ebay...) and you can skip the "Other Cost" and end up paying only for the materials, or the labor and it's possible to pay just for the trim and get the whole pair of jeans!
