Tom Ford is creating a pair of $1,000 jeans for sale. Okay, they're actually going to retail for $990, but with sales tax they will cost more than $1,000. So, what's so fabulous about these jeans that you'd shell out $1,000 for them? WWD explains:
The jeans, hitting stores now, are made from Japanese selvedge denim that feels and looks raw, but has been pre-washed and pre-shrunken so the indigo doesn't rub off. They also come in black or white. The seat is distinguished merely by a straight line, stitched across the pockets, and a small black tab reading TF001 or TF002. The first number designates the boot cut that Ford wears himself, and the second is a straight-leg cut. In the front, the button is plated with 18-karat gold, and the pockets are lined with the same silk as Tom Ford suits. But is the price justified for classic, unembellished jeans? If you have to ask, you can't afford them.
Trust us, if $43,000 suits are selling, then $1,000 jeans will also sell. If you do buy a pair of $1,000 jeans, be careful about putting them in your luggage: they'll probably get stolen.
