I just bought a Diesel regular slim jean for $180 and although i was satisfied at first I'm starting to have second thoughts about it. All my friends wears nice expensive clothes but to me its too expensive. It fits me perfect and i had some nice comments about it. I'm still debating whether i should return it or not..

I think it is expensive to buy a jeans for 180 dollars, but Diesel is a good brand and if you have the desire to get one, get it. It also depends on the money you have. I don't go for such an expensive jeans in the present financial situation. But, I don't mind to have a hand bag for that money because I am fond of hand bags and I don't mind spending for them.

That was really a nice priced jeans . If I were in your shoes, I would not spend an amount just for jeans, hey it's only my two cent, I have nothing against your decision. But since you have said you already purchased it, and there was no issue on your behalf, then refrain from returning it and just think on the bright side of the pants.
I am particular on buying clothes. It is not an issue for me if I don't wear signature clothes because for me what is important is our character. If our heart is right before God, that's what matters most to me.
I don't budget much on clothing. I am happy to whatever cheap, decent clothes i can wear. If its a jeans, i am already content on $7 to $8 as long as I am confident wearing it. Happy Mylotting.

Hi, hanxyoung. Yes, it is too expensive. You are paying for the name brand, and that is why the price of these jeans are so expensive. I would not pay that much for jeans. The highest that I would pay is $40.00. That is a lot of money. If you like these jeans, then it is your call on what and how much you spend your money on.

I've never understood and never will people who spend money on a product driven by its name and the commerce behind it. For 180 dollar I can get 15 perfectly fitting, good looking jeans, the only difference being that my jeans come with no brand and yours do.
I wouldn't even have the budget for spending 180 dollars on a jeans anyway.

in my country thats already expensive for a jeans, i have branded jeans like levis and jag but it didnt even cost more than $100 each for me. i just bought them for less than $50 and they are original or authentic since i bought them in store. i i wll not going to buy those expensive clothes as im thinking about the money if i can buy less expensive yet on fashion. besides those expensive clothes are only for display. what matter is how you carry your clothes well.

Well, let's put $180 in perspective. For $180, my husband and I could buy groceries for an entire month. If you were working a job at $7.50 per hour, which is an average starting wage around here, and assuming taxes were removed, you'd have to work about 27 hours to get that pair of jeans. If you're working a full-time, 40 hour week, that pair of jeans would cost you almost 3/4 of a week's wages. For $180, you could dine out with a friend or significant other approximately five times. You could subscribe to Netflix for a year and a half. You could go to the movies with a friend 15 times, not including concessions. It's your call. Out of all the things you could do with $180, is a pair of jeans what's going to satisfy you the most? Only you can decide what you really value.

wow, i think it's too expensive for one cloth. even i able to buy it, i will never buy expensive cloth, because we just buy branded, cheap cloth has similar quality i think. and there are more important things to buy than just spend much money to buy one cloth. but it if you get much money, i think it depend on you. happy mylotting hanxyoung
