\n
US clothing chain Nordstrom has launched a line of ‘dirty’ jeans which come with a ‘crackled, caked-on muddy coating’.<\/p>\n
The new product is apparently aimed at those with plenty of cash, as the retailer pockets a cool $425 (\u00a3330) for each pair.<\/p>\n
The firm’s website describes the jeans as typifying ‘rugged, Americana workwear’ and ‘hard-working action… that shows you’re not afraid to get down and dirty’.<\/p>\n
Some reviewers, however, have not given them a clean bill of health, including the host of TV show Dirty Jobs, Mike Rowe.<\/p>\n
“Finally – a pair of jeans that look like they have been worn by someone with a dirty job\u2026 made for people who don’t. And you can have your very own pair for just $425,” Rowe wrote in a Facebook post that was shared thousands of times.<\/p>\n
“The Barracuda Straight Leg Jeans aren’t pants. They’re not even fashion. They’re a costume for wealthy people who see work as ironic – not iconic.”<\/p>\n
Another review wrote: “This is a joke, right? Do you also sell jeans covered in cow manure? Oh, that must be the deluxe model.”<\/p>\n
But not everyone was so dismissive.<\/p>\n
“What’s the beef about buying mud jeans?” one commentator said on Twitter. “If someone can afford $400 for a pair of dirty jeans, so what? Go for it!”<\/p>\n
The chain is no stranger to pushing fashion boundaries, launching jeans with ‘knee windows’ last month – but for a far cheaper $95 (\u00a374).<\/p>\n
If you fancy giving the idea a leg-up by investing in a pair, beware of the strict cleaning instructions – machine wash cold, line dry only.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
