I help my DD 19 distress jean pants and vests from hand me downs on our gravel drive way. All her friends want to know where to get it. LOL The vest was a hand me down from my friend and it was from the 80-ies. That one was in high demand.The all thought it was from GAP. The same with those knitted caps from years ago.

Lo and behold, I saw a pair of acid-washed blue jeans with holes (HOLES!), strategically placed, I'm sure, on the knees and pockets. They were absolutely worn out from washing! If they'd been in my closet, they would have been transitioned to gardening jeans long ago. But these were brand new, hanging on a hanger, waiting for some idiot to buy them. The price? Care to guess?
$179.00!!
Who would pay $179 for jeans (no less) that won't survive three more washes? I could have found something far less "worn out" at Goodwill for about $12. Is this nuts, or what?
As I always say, some people have more money than cents (pun intended).
