Clothing firm Nordstrom castigated for $425 mud-coated jeans - BBC News

A US clothing company has been mocked on social media for selling a pair of $425 (£330; €390) jeans complete with "crackled, caked-on muddy coating". The jeans are described on Nordstrom's website as typifying "rugged, Americana workwear" and "hard-working action". But critics on Facebook are scathing of what the company describes as its new design of "heavily distressed" jeans.

Looks like rich people glorifying the working class to me.

The thing is, everyone had the same reaction when they came out with 200 dollar jeans with tears and holes in it. And the style still sells.
