BOOHOO jeans shorts are cheap as f*ck

I think nowadays the difference between an expensive garment and a cheap garment is very fine until you get up and personal with it.
YOu know you need to feel the fabric or know about the brands and where they make their stuff.
So the difference could be that the expensive one was made by expert crafts people where the raw materials cost the lives of 3 men, oooorrrrr was the cheap one made in a sweat shop where it cost next to nothing except the time and the innocence of a child sat at a sewing machine.

If you were to place these two products side by side at a distance the untrained eye would say that they were the same... for example a t-shirt or a pair of jeans.

Which is mainly the subject of this lil post.

See I was making some research on some jean short designs that I liked when I finally realised something that still confuses me to this day.
And that Authenticity and Branding

  

Here's an example of what I mean... 

 

These are some distressed denim jeans that are on sale at BOOHOO man for £8. 

This was surprising to me as I always thought that Denim was quite an expensive thing, especially if it was "Broken", which hardly makes sense. 

Now lets look at another pair from an established label. 

These shorts are from the brand Replay 901... I've never heard of them... 

But they cost £75... 

Just because they haven't got tears in them... 

I'm a lil confused 

I don't know if this is because people want to know or show off that they are wearing a more umm.. 

"Prestigious" pair of shorts, whatever that means, or if they just want the mental security of owning a good quality item. 

I've always bought cheap, bold and simple. 

Like seriously... have you ever seen me wearing something more extreme than a t-shirt and some jeans... 

Nope 

At least lifestyle anyway. 

My sportswear stuff is far more umm... Eye catching
