How much would you pay for a pair of jeans?

November 28th, 2008

How much would you pay for a pair of jeans? $200, $500, more? How about a quarter of a million dollars? Jason Dussault has collaborated with Malcolm Norman, of Bloodline Designs, to create the most expensive pair of jeans ever offered for sale.

What makes these so special? Well, aside from the 2 prototypes, there are only 2 pairs, one adorned with 1080 grams of 18k Marquis rose gold and the other with 1120 grams of 18k white gold (the prototypes are bronze and silver and sell for a significantly discounted $10,000).

The rose gold version is set with 16, 1 carat rubies, 8, .05 carat color diamonds making up the skull eyes and 26, .05 carat rubies on the daggers and cross. The second version trades the rubies for 16, 1 carat and 41, 0.5 carat colored diamonds set throughout the white gold wallet chain.

Dussault has experience creating fancy pants, including stage pants for rock stars like Nickelback and performers like Criss Angel.

Jason Dussault has said that one half of the proceeds from the sale of the two pairs will be donated to Canucks Place Children’s Hospice.
