Nordstrom Charging $425 for Fake-Mud Jeans

FOX: Fashion retailer Nordstrom is selling a pair of $425 jeans that allegedly show “you’re not afraid to get down and dirty.”

The “Barracuda Straight Leg Jeans,” which come with a “caked-on muddy coating,” have been roundly mocked on social media, with Mike Rowe remarking that the jeans are intended to make someone appear like they have a dirty job when they do not.

“The Barracuda Straight Leg Jeans aren’t pants. They’re not even fashion. They’re a costume for wealthy people who see work as ironic – not iconic,” Rowe wrote on Facebook.

  1. I have a spot of real mud on my jeans and they’re in the laundry to be washed. I never got the tear in jeans fad. I got the wearing the pajamas to the store, those are the ones that are lazy ass EBT card holders. When the evacuation happened here in February at 2:00 pm, the news woman cried “they fled in their pajamas!” We cracked up because that’s what they live in 24/7.

  2. I buy jeans once every 5 years.
    That’s how often I come across my size, 33×32.

    48×26 & 54×24 seems to be the sweet spot. Knock me off at the knees and gain 200 pounds maybe I can get a pair of muddy jeans.

  3. I wonder if they’ll tweet and FB about the designer/mfg like they did Ivanka when they said her products weren’t selling? I think I’ll give Nordstrom a call and ask.

  4. The urban, beta males who dress up like lumberjacks will love them. It cracks me up when I see some city sissy playing dress up. I bet none of them have even held a chain saw display model in a store!

    “How about high priced fashion painter hats and tool belts too.”

    Back when I was painting scenery for a (pretty good) living, one day I was offered $125.00 for my white painter pants, which were splattered with all colors of dye and paint.

    I turned down the offer, but sure wish I had kept several pairs of those–I’d make enough $$$ to buy a new computer!

  6. There is no way in hell I’d pay that much for a pair of pre dirtied blue jeans. Even Carhartt’s bought at the Carhartt store are no where near that expensive and they last a lot longer. Perhaps we should all find a pair or two of our grungiest jeans and see if we can get a fool to buy them for an outrageous price by putting them on Craigslist. I’m sure I’ve got more than a few pair of old grungy jeans hanging around that never got thrown away in a closet or down in the basement somewhere.
