How much did the pants actually cost to make. Let's see, fabric, labor, trim, hardware. The Pants are at a cost of $528. The mark up is usually %60 - %65 percent. Minus the retail that is, give or take, $211. But I understand. Rag and Bone do have to cover their overhead.DOUBLE D CHERRYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09941560165002984081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3895647038898538515.post-83679443247086055562010-06-09T03:52:32.243-04:002010-06-09T03:52:32.243-04:00doubledcherry obviously didn't read the initia...doubledcherry obviously didn't read the initial article where Sternberg broke down the whole cost of the pant.

I think you can find a much better example than trim khakis from Band of Outsiders.<br /><br />These are insanely expensive, but they do not necessarily fit into the idea of people overpaying for trends as slim khakis are trend proof. Maybe a label or brand name, but not within the framework you have posed.<br /><br />And on J. Crew, L.L. Bean and Land's End having quality that matches these pants, well, that's not even close to the truth. While these pants are insanely overinflated when it comes to their price tag, you are not going to find a better manufacturer than Martin Greenfield...at least in the USA. That's not saying those brands don't have good quality for their pricepoints, but they don't hold a candle to these pants.L.A.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794979185698861626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3895647038898538515.post-10144706756124600052010-06-08T20:17:28.580-04:002010-06-08T20:17:28.580-04:00All of these brands sell products that will be sty...All of these brands sell products that will be stylish for three months, then never again. It appears to be a combination of an ego and the stupid, stupid market that drives them to do this. Meanwhile, you can get classics that are of nearly the same quality, and will last you a decade, from J. Crew, L.L. Bean, or hell, even Land's End.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3895647038898538515.post-87133932189335799432010-06-08T19:02:28.300-04:002010-06-08T19:02:28.300-04:00I can get quality chinos made in the USA for much ...I can get quality chinos made in the USA for much cheaper prices from Bill's Khakis or even UNIS.jumpjetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3895647038898538515.post-87159060660102396382010-06-08T17:32:37.303-04:002010-06-08T17:32:37.303-04:00Anon @4:46- Suit separates?
