Yes, dear friends, for exactly $1,298.00 you too can look like a 1920s hobo! The Ralph Lauren Adler Cropped Beaded Jean offers you the chance to drop more money than you would pay for an "it" bag.  From Ralph Lauren's website:

"Inspired by the Spring 2010 runway collection, our ultra-distressed jean channels the spirit of rustic workwear in a slouchy cropped fit, finished with shimmering hand-beaded accents for a touch of luxe."

A touch of luxe?  For $1300 these jeans had better have some gold thread! And since when are cropped beaded jeans "rustic workwear"???

I am literally dying to know how many pairs of these jeans they have sold, and who has actually bought them . . .

Check them out here.

Now, for $500 less, you could spend $698 and buy the Thompson Patchwork Jean -- I guess you would have to forego the beading, but with all of these patches, who needs beading?!:

Okay, enough ribbing on Ralph Lauren.  For a more reasonable amount of money ($298 is still expensive for jeans, but not, I suppose if they are super-cool and unique), you can buy the Tribeca Bootcut Jean:

Funny how the cheapest pair, is really (in my opinion) the coolest pair? I think the pair above exudes laid-back sophistication...these are jeans that you put on when you want your look to say, "I am cool without trying." Simply, effortlessly cool.
