Heard about these on the radio yesterday. My only response is :facepalm:.

Patina's are earned with work and use, not purchased. :twak:

Honestly,I don't know why anyone is surprised at this....

Lots of companies have been doing this to lots of products(Fender charging over the odds for artificially patinaed Strats being one that sticks in my throat). There's dumb arses out there who've been too mollycoddled to ever experience real dirt!

Why experience what you can buy?
There is no beginning,or ending,and for this we are thankful,cos now is hard enough to understand!

I'll wait for their blood stained version. I hope they'll sell it for under 2000$.

Well damn.  I've got Levi's purchased from the thrift store that after a days work are pretty dirty.  Think I'll offer them for $325 on flea bay.

The jeans I have on right now are dirty, yet not that dirty.   
It is my aches and sore muscles I gladly sell somebody.

Real mud is a lot cheaper.

Yes, but the first wash would wipe out 80% of the "value"

I'm struggling to think of a worthy punishment for anybody that buys a pair......  :facepalm:

Why do you (not you specifically, Gerhard - the royal 'you') care what anyone else wears?  I'm pretty sure that what other people spend their money on is their business, not ours.

You uncovered yourself! You probably bought a pair. Tell us, is it any good?


I think nobody has a problem with people. Marketing can be criticized and it really is,  by speSmurfpillsts, by consumers and by other people.

I think my mom wouldn't let me in if I was wearing a pair of those. And I think she would be right.

Spray-on mud: the ultimate accessory for city 4x4 drivers

I've seen vehicles in my area that look suspiciously sprayed with mud. Pretty sure most of them have never done anything remotely close to off-road (beyond parking in a driveway).

I don't think its a "care" thing but more of a  :facepalm: thing.  I'm sure we've all had a  :facepalm: moment when we've heard of any such situations.  Its more reaction rather than judgement.  Spend how you will, and wear what you dig is what I say.  I get my Levi's from the thrift store so heck maybe a  :facepalm: is in order for me?   :rofl:

I think there's a lot wrong with the world, and this is a less serious example of that.

You ask an excellent question, and I had to question myself, I try to be tolerant of all races, religions and sexual orientations, but I openly discriminate against stupidity.

Am I a hypocrite?  :rofl:

A couple other ideas for the marketing chic -
Worn work boots -
with authentic hand tied broken boot laces. 

Or, work gloves already broken in for your day volunteering somewhere -

Or how about tighty whities with wash proof skid marks (sorry no pictures)!

Closer to home (or at least this web site) Case for years has been offering 'pocketworn' bone handles on many of their knives, to give the appearance  of long-time use. Reportedly very popular (not with me).
