In a new series that Iβm going to call βWait, what?!β, comes PRPS Barracuda Straight Leg Jeans. Jeans, who cares right? But wait a secβ¦ These are no ordinary jeans Gadgeteers. These jeans are covered in mud and have a price tag of $425 a pair! Nordstrom describes them as βAmericana workwear thatβs seen some hard-working action with a crackled, caked-on muddy coating that shows youβre not afraid to get down and dirty.β
And thatβs where the βwait, what?!β comes in. Have we degraded into a society that has to pay for dirty clothes to give us the appearance of being hard workers?
The traditionally styled 5 pocket jeans are made of 100% cotton and are machine washable which makes me say it againβ¦ wait, what?! So you buy a pair of muddy jeans for $425, but you can wash them? Is it really April 1st, because this canβt be for real. But sadly, it is and I fear that weβre doomed as a species. If youβre not distressed about this (pun intended), head over to Norstrom for more info.

Having spent 4 years working on the Nordstrom web site, I can only shake my head and grieve for how far the company has fallen. On the other hand, these will go nicely with the $85 rock you could buy…
They sell rocks too? Why am I not surprised?
I have a two year old nephew who can get that look for $2 per pair of jeans. Okay, he will do it for free. FINE. I confess, we cant get him to stop doing this to his clothes so we want him to wear yours instead.
My jeans look like this after working in the garden. Ok, I liked. Jeanne’s jeans look like at the end of every weekend working in the garden π
Can’t wait for pre-soiled baby diapers….those will fly off the shelves…
Ummmmm ew!
I’ll muddy anyone’s jeans for only $225 a pair.
Wow, who knew growing up as a kid in the 60’s, I was sitting on a gold mine!
Too bad the only attention I got was from my mom’s hand on the backside
of my muddy jeans π
It really saddens me that there is even a market for this (even if they were free). And even more so that anyone finds the need to pretend they actually soiled their clothes. If this is truly a fashion statement it’s an insult to those that dirty their clothes for real. I’d be embarrassed to wear these.
I have no words that can truly convey my thoughts on this post π
My first thought was where does the mud come from? Is it ‘clean’ or is it full of micro-organisms that you don’t want getting into the wild (or under your skin).
I’m wondering if it’s even real mud… It could be something worse π
Reebok have been having fun with matching sweaty T-shirt for only $425
