Here is the description for these pants taken straight from the horse's mouth (J.Crew website):
"To achieve the timeworn charm of those pants you simply can't part with, we garment-dyed and destroyed these chinos for 400 minutes, then carefully repatched and washed them to look like you've worn them for years (and lovingly doctored yourself)."
All for the low-low price of 75 bucks. Pants that have been ripped and pulled and worn and repatched.
I know, I know, we all lusted over jeans that were ripped and torn back in the day, but considering that J. Crew markets their items to the thirtysomething crowd (at least, I'm pretty sure our age bracket is included in their target consumer group), you'd think they'd take into consideration that we are now growing up, having families, actually thinking more about saving and planning ahead and such. Hopefully not thinking about spending 75 bucks on pants that look like they came from the bottom of the pile of clothes that's been sitting on the closet floor.
They must take me for a fool.

Do you have an outlet near you? Because that's the only way I can afford to buy J Crew (nearest outlet is over an hour away for me, maybe more depending on traffic), boo :(
LOL! You crack me up! They make us all for fools! I wouldn't pay $75 for them :)
Do they actually have a 400 minute timer that times that??
Silly fashion!
Cheaper way to make these? RUN to your nearest thrift store, buy a pair of pants and diy! I bet it won't take you 400 minutes either!
So, are you going to buy similar pants at Target or Goodwill and patch them yourself? :)
Haha!!! That is hilarious!!! I agree...in my thirtysomething age, I'm not really a fan of my clothes looking all ripped apart and sewn back together. AND FOR $75!!!!!
yeah, but the fit is so cute!
