can someone explain why diesel jeans cost $150?

[Naeem]

I find diesels fit and look nice. Since price isnt realy the issue, I find armani, versace, diesel are just tailored to fit much better then a pair of gap, levi whatever.

I run around in my pajamas (yes I am comfortable in public places in my pajamas) in malls always going store to store trying different brands of jeans just to make sure I am not overpaying for my clothing. Honestly I can say, a 60 dollar pair of jeans cannot compare with a pair of 200 dollar pants/jeans.

I always end up going back to armani/versace/diesel for my pants. Sorry if im a brand whore.

In my experience, diesel is a major scam. Bought one pair, once. Never again. Within a year the freakin' knee had a hole in it.

I've had Levis last 10 years without ever wearing out at the knees.

the distressing process on many of diesel's new jeans is actually very labor intensive. Secondly, the denim is also of the italian dual ringspun variety and as a result cost more than a pair of levis. Thirdly, people are willing to pay that much and as a result, they will keep charging that much. Check out ebay or just wait for sales at local boutiques. I've never paid over 110 for a pair and I have a pair of just about each cut they make.

theres no reason to spend $150 on jeans
thats insane.

its relative on how much you make.

a) they are the best fitting jeans around
b) the always come out with original washes, if you look at the jeans you are wearing they were probably copies of diesels
c)hand made .....every pair looks different
d) when they do a wash to the jeans it does not affect the quality of the denim, other companies will simply run a sander or somethign over the denim to give them a certain look
e) they are italian

They are all that i will wear, and trust me girls can tell.........its like saying why does a ferrari cost 300 000 when you can get a kia for 8000

so many of you "non-fashionable" types think that diesels are the mecca of denim... WRONG. There are tons of great companies out there, many of which charge more than diesel, producing quality denim. Check out some of the japanese ringspun products like G-star denim or Evisu genes. You can get into the upper 400's on an ugly pair of evisu's... Paper and G-star get my votes as the highest quality denims... Seven gets best cut award... and Diesel has to take the award for original distressing styles.

Well some inside info.
I work for Limited the Express Men branch. The Express Jeans are made from the same material as Diesel but we only charge 68 dollars on the average for our fashion denim.

They cost so much because all of Diesel and our Fahsion Denim are hand made. All the designs and bleaching special stiching sanding(yes sanding they actually sand the jeans) some jeans are spayed with resin some are blasted with stones and some are baked. But its all done by hand and no two jeans are alike.

Granted Diesel has a larger mark up because of name but we sell more volume so our mark up isnt as much.

It is called marketing.............any company gets some attractive models, good quality clothing, and the right advertising schemes, and you have some expensive ass clothes. No matter what it is all %100 cotten. Not that I am putting down on the shit or anything because I wear Diesel, Bananna Republic, Abercrombie, etc. but you are paying for the purchasing agent to go out and buy the best designs and labels as well.

BTW the same purchaser who works for Diesel also works for the Limited Company too.
