Ever feel like your job in Hollywood or your large trust fund has left you out of touch with the working class in America? Well, now there’s a new way to reconnect with the hoi polloi: Buy a pair of $425 jeans that promise to show “you’re not afraid to get down and dirty.”
Luxury fashion retailer Nordstrom was previously best known for dropping Ivanka Trump’s brand back in February—unofficially out of political spite, officially because of declining sales.
The company is now desperate to ruin its own brand further by selling a pair of working class-inspired pants, so that people with $425 to spare can feel part of the masses. Per the item’s description on the website:
Heavily distressed medium-blue denim jeans in a comfortable straight-leg fit embody rugged, Americana workwear that’s seen some hard-working action with a crackled, caked-on muddy coating that shows you’re not afraid to get down and dirty.

I predict all the tranny screenwriters are going to be wearing these for the summer!
Umm my husband comes home looking like this NATURALLY. It takes all my laundry prowess to get his jeans back to clean!
Call me and my hubs will put them to work on a REAL job.
Hope they come in XXXXXXL. Michael Moore will want one to accessorize his blue collar look.
At $425 per copy, you should sell them on eBay.................
No his come with the usual sh*t stains and feces smell built in.
I, too, work with my hands. If a new planet were to be found, and colonized- the first people you would need would be miners, plumbers, construction workers, farmers— all the people who actually make a civilization work. After about 100 years or so, once the roads had been made, the houses built, and the air made breathable- the “elite” gender-fluid freaks and the money-changers could set up shop and plant their suckers onto the jugular veins of the new civilization and start this crap all over again.
Without worn, scuffed up work boots, this look fails. A sweat stained work shirt would also be helpful.
And I thought the pet rock was stupid.
Exactly. Also dirt underneath the fingernails, large banged up and cut hands, huge forearms.
If anyone is stupid enough to pay that much money for this dumb idea, they get what they deserve. A fool and his money are soon parted.
I complete the look with a truly vile old “boonie hat” ... Mrs. Mountain sometimes throws it in the laundry. I sometimes wear it in the rain. If neither of these things happened, it would probably jump off my head and start chasing stray dogs.
Is it real mud? Because you won’t be able to wash it.
And if it’s fake mud, well that’s just sad.

The quickest way to spot a mud fraud is to check the hands. Any callouses? No? Lily white, you say? Gotcha!
We should send them first!
Like the Golgafrinchians. (to a different planet)
Buy $5 pair of nice jeans at Goodwill.
Take them home to the farm.
Start tractor.
Drive to wet/muddy spot in back field.
Drive over jeans a couple of times with tractor.
Save $420.

The guy made a million dollars. See, that’s what you have to do. You gotta use your mind and come up with a great idea.
