Levi Strauss is rolling over in his grave

Has anybody else tried buying jeans, lately? Geez, do these things come with a loan application, yet? Seriously, when did it become acceptable for a pair of jeans to cost $200+?

And, here's the stupidest part: because we're buying jeans that are supposed to look old and worn, with fake dirt, no less, they can't actually be washed for fear of removing the 'stains'.
