Really ???

Goodie2shoes — Mon, 30 Aug 2021 23:37:04 GMT

Sorry but I just had to give my opinion on the Side stitch painted dot Jogger pants A453745 for $115.56. Amy is presenting them on Fashions night in. These pants have paint dots on them that make them appear to me at least like one has been painting and spilled paint all over the pants. It's a California sheek look according to the designer rep. Well to each their own, and enjoy if you buy them but I would not spend $120 (at least w/tax and shipping) on a pair of pants that make me look like I have been painting and went straight out to dinner ! Wow, what's fashion to some is not fashion to others

I look at it this way, if you are not an artist and want "something different" at least it's available to buy.

So much looks the same way.

I already had a pair like that last year that I created while painting one of our bedrooms.....wish I had not been using it for rags since then....I could have made a lot of money!

@Luvsmyfam I have spent more than $100 on pants, and do not consider myself wealthy. As @Goodie2shoes said, " to each his own".

I think the Q knows who their demographic is, so apparently they are trying to appeal to a totally different group.

I remember back in the early 90s ....I took a pair of jeans out to the backyard and splattered some fabric paint on them.

They looked great .... but ....

It was a "look" then, and I was a lot younger!

Admittedly, I do not consider myself "California chic" and I'm proud of it.

A couple of years ago Marshall's had paint spattered denim shirts and pants in the designer section. While browsing the lady also shopping told me she was a painter (artist type) and she was excited to see this offering. Not for me, but kinda cute.

I lived in California for 15 years. There is no such thing as California chic, California style.

SIDE STITCH prices are ridiculously high. I know, their fabric is proprietary and fabulous. So, I will just have to rough it and live without their wonderful products. Give them credit-their PR department has done a fantastic job promoting this overpriced brand.

Everything isn’t for everyone. Clearly these pants aren’t for you.

QVC programming has been rife with orthopedic shoes and potholder purses today. I got through it without starting a thread to bash it.

@Foxxee I'm relieved to hear that. I suspected as much.

Agreed! They just offered a flannel type shirt for $110. I can beat these prices at an upscale department store any day. 😳

@maximillian - Their fabric is not proprietary. Many fashion retailers use Lyocell in their clothing lines (not to mention household items, like bedding).

And it isn't even a new fabric - that's just hype. I had pants in Tencel decades ago. (Same fabric, except Tencel is a brand name.) They wore beautifully and I'd still have them but decided a few years ago that it was time to "move on" and I donated them. They didn't even show any wear.

If they're trying to justify their (IMO) ridiculously high prices on the basis of the fabric - sorry, not buying it. Literally.

@Goodie2shoes - ITA. In fact, I have a pair of black joggers that look very similar. I got white paint splatters on them while decorating and I keep them for doing any odd jobs inside and outside. The joggers cost me about $8 at Walmart. The paint job was free; just my own labor!

At least you know how to spell chic.

👍 @RollTide2008. Because you are respectful of other people's choices. Clearly not everyone who posts here is. (There's a new LOGO bashing thread here today too. 🙄)
