Authentics for $1,000, that is a joke. I spoke to someone locally who was proud of the fact that he wasted tons of money on Red Monkey Jeans. Listen people, why would you spend that much on jeans? There are people on that sell the same exact jeans for a tenth of the price. There isn’t much difference in quality. They are identical. I ask people, do you want a prize because you wasted $500 on jeans? I read articles that say, hey, these guys sell factory variants. What do you think large companies do? They go to overseas and exploit cheap labor, bring back the products to the US, and clobber you with outrageous prices. People online do the same thing, and charge you a fraction of the price and people still complain? Funny.
