    Nordstrom
    is selling fake muddy jeans for $425.


    The "Barracuda Straight Leg Jeans," which are made by the brand PRPS, "embody rugged, Americana workwear that's seen some hard-working action," according to Nordstrom's website.

    The mud "shows you're not afraid to get down and dirty," the website says.

    But the jeans are being ridiculed online.

    "This is a joke, right?" one user commented on Nordstrom's site in a post that has since been deleted. "Do you also sell jeans covered in cow manure? Oh, that must be the deluxe model."

    Another deleted comment said: "Gotta love being able to look like I have fed the pigs, helped deliver a calf, and get the tractor unstuck without ever having to leave my BMW."

    Mike Rowe, who hosts the TV show "Dirty Jobs" on the Disovery Channel, wrote a blog post Monday calling out the pants.

    "Finally - a pair of jeans that look like they have been worn by someone with a dirty job... made for people who don't," Rowe wrote.

    He describes the jeans as "a costume for wealthy people who see work as ironic - not iconic".

    In March, Nordstrom sent the internet into a frenzy with its "Clear Knee Mom Jeans" made by Topshop. These jeans, which cost $95, had a large, clear plastic panels across the knee.

    Anyone remember JNCO Jeans? In my mind, I'm still back in Junior High School in the late 90s, rocking a pair of Fat Boys.

    I fucking loved those jeans! Strangely enough, there was another dude at the same school who had the exact same pair. The pockets used to come down to my ankles.

    Fucking love it. But I wouldn't be caught dead wearing them today.

    Why in the hell would anyone want to wear fake muddy jeans, and who in their right fucking mind would pay $425 for them. WTF :blink:

    I was returning some pants. I took a short cut in a subway tunnel and fell in some mud, ruining my pants. The very pants I was returning.

    Turn off your trackers or your Google results will also try and sell you a "Hamm's Beer Hat" and "Slightly Torn, Velvet Bordered Elvis Picture."
