The model looks rather young to me to be modeling these so called "Mom jeans".

Utterly ridiculous!

QuiltnNan 03-17-2017 10:20 AM

No way!

Cotton Mama 03-17-2017 11:03 AM

If it were April 1, I'd swear it was an April Fool joke.

Perfect for showing off your most recent quilt blocks:)

cindyb 03-17-2017 03:54 PM

I take it you don't have to pay for the holes? Can you imagine how much they would be to add that extra fabric? LOL How stupid!!!! But I know all younger girls do wear them.

Too funny !!

cashs_mom 03-17-2017 05:48 PM

I saw those on the news. Why the heck would someone want clear plastic windows on the knees of their jeans? Especially for $95.00

Anniedeb 03-17-2017 06:28 PM

Our local stations just ran this yesterday!! Holy moly....I wouldn't want to be buried in those!! Horrid....what are they thinking?? Maybe they sit around a table and think....what is the most ridiculous thing we can come up with??? Plus.. who wants to look at knees through clear plastic??? Wonder if they fog up??!!

Jingle 03-17-2017 06:43 PM

How ugly are those? I would never wear anything with holes in them.

I agree, I pay anywhere from $60 to $85.00 for my jeans at Lane Bryant. For that kind of money I don't want them full of holes. I also don't like those ones that appear to have not been washed in ages.

I seen younger girls wearing jeans like those in the article. But the holes are higher up on the legs and their behinds hang out the holes in the back.

patski 03-17-2017 08:19 PM

ugly, sorry I don't want plastic knees

BETTY62 03-17-2017 11:59 PM

The sad part is that people will actually buy these and wear them out in public. LOL

True, and think they are the cat's meow to boot. :D

youngduncan 03-18-2017 04:11 AM

My wife and I both think these jeans make a fashion statement. They say, "I have no taste in clothes."

Watson 03-18-2017 04:51 AM

These would be great for gardening in because your jeans wouldn't get dirty. You could just wipe them off! (Sarcasm)

I wonder if the DA who buys them can hear the DA who made them laugh all the way to the bank???

Suz 03-18-2017 06:21 AM

Why the plastic? Can you imagine how hot this would be in the summer when one would sweat. Sticky, sticky. I don't even buy the washed out jeans. I can wash them out myself. I purchase only the dark navy that look new. Just call me old fashioned.

Clmay 03-18-2017 06:57 AM

I thought you were going to say a vacation! LOL

mojo11 03-18-2017 07:19 AM

I think these jeans are really ugly. The young kids (that have no taste) will wear them because the are different. REALLY different. Sales of normal jeans must be slowing down so they create something different to boost sales?????

Geri B 03-18-2017 07:24 AM

Anything for $$$$$....and I'll bet there are many who will rush to get them! I shake my head in disbelief at some of the bizarreness of today's women's fashions...in all catagories......and yet men will always wear suits and dockers!

csknott 03-18-2017 07:31 AM

U-G-L-Y. Some of the comments on the second page are pretty funny!!!!!

Kitsie 03-18-2017 08:54 AM

Go to Goodwill, buy some and make holes in them!

caspharm 03-18-2017 10:23 AM

Actually, those are really dumb, since they have vinyl knees. Saw those the other day on the web. In the same vein, I went to Chico's the other day and saw that they were charging $89 for new torn, holey cropped jeans and $129 for torn, holey jeans with lace inserts behind the holes. Chico's calls them "destructed" jeans.

labtechkty 03-18-2017 12:21 PM

Hahahahaha! I'm going to run right out and buy me a pair!

meanmom 03-19-2017 06:39 AM

Stupid jeans. I have always refused to buy jeans with holes in them. When my girls were younger they sometimes wanted them. My DH has a closet full of jeans with holes in them. Maybe I could sell them to buy more fabric.

Feather3 03-19-2017 08:18 AM

Have any of you noticed how few younger people, especially girls, are wearing jeans today. Many wear leggings for daily wear & dress. The companies couldn't come up with a new idea to draw them into buying jeans. So they figured all us middle aged ladies needed stretch jeans. UGHH!

I'm with the rest...if I want holes in my jeans I'll wear them out myself....and that vinyl OMG how insane. After a few times, of wearing them, the vinyl will rip out at the seams & then what? There went $90 plus dollars. Oh wait...I bet they figure out the knee now needs a tattoo or pierced some other ridiculous thing to show thru the "window". Shessh.

Those are ridiculous!

Paint a happy face on both kneecaps! :D

rjwilder 03-20-2017 09:59 AM

No thanks, I'll spend the $95. on fabric and chocolate.

ILoveToQuilt 03-21-2017 03:06 PM

Yuck! Plastic windows on the knees...hello sweat. Who wants to see my knee replacement scar anyway? Not I...

cathyvv 03-21-2017 07:59 PM

It appears to torture it's purchasers for their bad taste.

I apologize if the above statement offended anyone.:D

If you are too poor (or cheap, like me) to spend 90$+ on a pair of these, take a pair of your own jeans, cut knee panels out, get some clear table covering plastic, cut two rectangular pieces from it and sew them into your jeans.

You could probably patent them as a new design if you made them removable by using velcro to secure or release them in place.


Adding interior and exterior windshield wipers would show everyone just how creative you are, and keep your knees on display no matter what the weather! I guess installing a heater for winter weather would be helpful, too.

To be really eco-conscious, you have enough denim from the cutout knees to make a small purse or wallet. Re-use, Re-cycle and all that.

cathyvv 03-21-2017 08:03 PM

Perhaps they have tattoos on their knees that they want to show off?

Here I thought they were to display my knee surgery scars! If I tattoo smiley faces then my knee seams won't show.;)

Chasing Hawk 03-22-2017 12:07 PM

Cathy, I had to chuckle at your post. Very creative ideas you came up with.
