I worked in 'organic agriculture' before and your description sums it up nicely. You end up with fish poop and aphids (pests) on your lettuce, flies and snails on your mushrooms and pay 3-5 times the price of regular, healthier supermarket products just because that hippie you trust uses inefficient methods and tools. Not because it's the better/healthier product. Just buy regular, non-organic stuff of good quality, don't get ripped off and use the money you just saved to build your family.
@@jackster2568 Is it that bad in the Americas? I'm aware food quality is amazing in Europe, the standards are ridiculously high. Maybe I'm too used to it to appreciate it fully.
@@jonbong8547 that price tag is so astronomical, there is no justification. Even if it outlives you (old levi’s used to be like that and they did not cost 10 grand) and it’s cheaper to pay 10k once then buying a 100 pair of others, what kind of working men/women can afford that (price and risk wise as well)?
I used to think the Japanese obsession with taking craftsmanship to art was admirable. I still think it is, in some cases. But sometimes it's just vanity.
Thats why they have hundred dollar fruits dor sale. Because they grew a fruit that might be naturally hard to grow in Japan and took forever to get it to look just right with no flaws.
@@user-11Il10I1In this case no because the manufacturing process of these jeans is not complicated at all, far from it. For 10k you could by a persian made silk rug which took years to make, not some pant whose material collection was simply made to be inefficient on purpose to boost its price.
@@user-11Il10I1 Dude did you watch the video?? Do you lack critical thinking? There is literally no craftsmanship whatsoever!! They leave cotton stems and cotton thorns in the jeans? They don't take the time to separate it? No craftsmanship or time spent. They don't water the cotton? They just wait for it to rain? So they don't want to spend money on water or take the time to water their cotton? Again no craftsmanship.. GTFO You can't justify product price with "craftsmanship" 😂
So they make the farming difficult and don't process the material enough. They produce scarcity and not enough jeans to fill it to increase the price. I'm sure they're sturdily made and fine jeans and all but that'd be like if i sold thousand dollar tomatoes because they only came from my garden. And i only have one plant, so they're rare, so you should pay more for them.
They probably were not ever intended to be the "best" jeans, and it's not even possible to make some that are clearly the best. Instead, the plan was to make them a very specific way, and they probably had to grow the cotton themselves to ensure it was completely nature-controlled. And it sounds like the cotton was refined much less after harvesting, so they might have used a different process for that. The result is jeans that were made in a very specific and difficult way, which makes them inherently rare because it is so expensive to make them that way. Some people may want exactly that overly natural process, or that extreme exclusivity. People have spent far more money on far less.
So basically a group of people are bad at their job and purely because it’s a passion project they get a pass *and* they get to jack up the price directly tied to how terrible they are at making stuff using arguably low grade materials…. What a genuine shame
No, no that's not why they cost $10.000. That's because of marketing, hype, and gullible fools with more money than sense. There's no way those jeans cost more than $500 to make _at most_ - and that's probably being generous.
Well, consider they plant and harvest their own cotton and turn it into jeans, I would buy it if I’m a millionaire. Just like those guy who bought yachts and sports cars.
@@realgrilledsushi 1. The cost of making those jeans is _at most_ 1/20 of the price of them. 2. False equivalency. There are of course diminishing returns on anything 'luxury', but you're still getting something extra for your money when buying a Ferrari vs a Skoda . Just because you make something hard, labor intensive, and expensive to make doesn't mean it's better or worth it. Traditionally made Katanas are more expensive than those made by modern methods, but they are objectively worse quality.
@@staceygram5555 But with a pair like this, the way it's made IS the point. Of course it's not any better quality than other prestigeous denim makers. The reason it might be worth it to someone is that it's a very impressive artisanal achievement. Fine china doesn't hold your hot water with leaves in it any better than a christmas cup you got from grandma but you still might want it just because it is really nice. It's not just functional, it's an art piece. Does that make it worth 10K? Not to the common peasants such as you and I, but no denim would be worth 10K to us. If you're the type of gentleman to be able to spend 10K on a pair of jeans though, this is a very justifiable way to spend that money. It's a pair of jeans oozing with history and one artisan's undying commitment and love for denim. You buy it for that, not for how good it'll be at keeping your legs warm.
Do you know the cost of natural indigo ? I mean I think you are right to a point, and he kinda says that in the full video. But 1 year to make a pair? There is some exaggeration I believe.
Americans make Whiskey, Beef and Blue Jeans better than any other country. But apparently when Japanese people make those things americans will pay 100X for it. I dont get it.
Oh man, Japanese whiskey is honestly insanely good. It’s also not a big price difference from good American whiskey as well. I’ve tried a lot of whiskey’s, but I’ve never had a whiskey as smooth as Japanese whiskey. I’m not sure what exactly they do differently, but it’s like they remove any nasty harshness from it. I think in general your statement is correct, but I feel like if we’re only looking at the most extreme best of the best, Japan wins. Smoothest whiskey, and let’s not forget about Kobe beef. Americans just don’t have the patience to spend that type of time on a cow. lol.
Let me get this right. They want me to pay 10.000 to a company that doesnt want to use the technology, equipment and labor that make our jeans affordable?
Yes, that is exactly it - that's exactly why people pay so much more. Similarly, every day people go to restaurants and pay $10, or $100, or even $1000 for food - and usually the more they pay, the less efficiently the food is made. And the food lasts for only one meal, then it becomes a nasty mess inside the stomach. At least the jeans continue to be jeans.
@chrisedwards3866 pay 1.000 is nuts. A good proper meal here costs no more than 5usd with all included. With 2 bucks u eat drink till youre full. Basically you work like an ox just to pay overpriced basics and get ripped by the IRS.
Their are other Japanese jean companies that don't take it to this extreme. But they cost a lot due to high quaintly and the fact they dye the threads, make the cloth, and sew the cloths all in Japan, in the same location at Japan's labor cost. No sweat shops and no pollution dumped in water ways during the dye process. No shipping to three different country for every step for the cheapest labor. It's not like these pants made rough to emphasis how hand made they are.
it's more like wearable art tbh. it's about the process and making weird shit or trying to rekindle this strange antiquated way of doing things. it doesn't make sense for me but it's not for me, either. I can respect the process and the dedication of it all
@MajoroTom I mean I agree to an extent but if they are going to go thru all the trouble of farming and what not you think they'd make them look a little better than the jeans sears sold on the 90s
So what you're saying is like most things from Japan, it's ridiculously overpriced because they refuse to do it in any kind of way. That makes sense and in the end it's really not that great of a product because they couldn't even clean the cotton effectively.
Just because something is “artisan crafted” or “specially made” doesn’t mean it’s good. I’d rather get a pair of good Levi’s or some other ones that do the same for a fraction of the price
But just because it took them a higher cost to make doesn’t always mean that equates and gets passed on to the consumer because the consumer may not pay that price too often.
@Xyzzyx936 that’s all personal preference and opinion based because some people might think spending $10 for unlimited video on Netflix is a great deal. It’s all opinion based .
Don’t care what you’re using them for, that price is purely for the fashion and the brand name. Nothing about those jeans makes them worth more than a few hundred.
50$ carhartt double knee jeans are the most durable I can buy as a welder. well worth the price. I can't imagine even "cheap" 440$ jeans, let alone 10K$...holy crap they better be fireproof and cut rresistant, and battery heated!
Nice pair of jeans! The video does sort of make it seem like that's the standard price for samurai jeans witch you can get for around 200 if my experience with momotaro taught me anything though they'll definitely last a lifetime also you should do a video on the 10k momotaros
I appreciate jeans but man this sounds like “yeah man I cut my finger on my cybertruck yesterday and the rear bumper fell off, N-no no it’s cool that means the car is handmade and uses the highest quality of steel”
It’s a fun novelty and I like the principle behind how it was manufactured. But like bro jeans are already kinda uncomfortable sometimes and now ur telling me I’m gonna wear something with leftover thorns and abrasive material over my crotch/thighs? Where there’s gonna probably be the most movement out of anywhere else on my body? I’m good bro.
They aren't selling you jeans, they're selling you an idea. If you're smart, you would just ignore them. If you're motivated, you would try to make them yourself and realize just how much work goes into just a single pair of jeans. For reference, the term "Spinster" comes from a time and culture where the women were required to grow enough plant or animal fiber that they could spin enough thread to weave enough fabric to make all of the linens, as a dowry, for the new household they would be in charge of when they got married. A "Spinster" was a woman who could not achieve this feat and was henceforth unmarried. So, enjoy your shite fashion while it is affordable.
So it's bassicly a jeans with a HIGHLY inefficient production line. I didn't know the price of something so easy to make would be set so high if the production process was simply made staggered ON PURPOSE.
It’s not for denim lovers. It’s for people who appreciate and like the craftsmanship and the art and the skill that goes into them. These won’t last for shit compared to some carhartt ducks or some filson tin pants.
@@zachcrowl8504 I mean I GUESS🤔 but japanese don't have a real traditional method of making jeans...the farming yeah sure but...idk. maybe it's just that I don't speak rich...rich people do have a habit of spending ridiculous money on "artisan" producs.

10k for basically an inferior product. I bet the profit by selling the jeans is amazing. They barely take care of the waste. They dont even water them. The only thing they spend a bunch of money on is basically the land tax if there is such a thing in Japan and the labour cost.
I’ve been looking for the name of the brand keychain that you have looped on your belt loop. Can someone please tell me who makes that? I believe it’s a guy in America, who makes them by hand
I’ll stick with Naked & Famous. Highly recommend to anybody getting into the world of fine denim jeans. Blue Owl Workshop in Fremont Seattle is incredible as well.
If you barely wash your jeans....... even a $60 pair will last you a lifetime. I still have a pair of jeans from 22 years ago that I bought from Lucky brand.
For all the labor cost and everything else for years, all to make one single product. 10k sounds like a real loss for the company. Did they do it just to say they could?

"Ways of cotton farming not used in 157 years"
Americans: 😬
Bros got his battle pass clipped on the front
Farming techniques that haven't been seen in 157 years. Hmmmm..
Volunteers...you say...lol
Japanese fabrics are the best!
I’ll stick with Naked & Famous. Highly recommend to anybody getting into the world of fine denim jeans. Blue Owl Workshop in Fremont Seattle is incredible as well.
If you barely wash your jeans....... even a $60 pair will last you a lifetime. I still have a pair of jeans from 22 years ago that I bought from Lucky brand.
no it cost 10K because demand outnumber the supply, you can sell Japanese pet rock and it will still be the same
Man. The internet got too much money.
For all the labor cost and everything else for years, all to make one single product. 10k sounds like a real loss for the company. Did they do it just to say they could?
In-san-it-y....
I feel like someone should import some top quality American jeans to Japan and charge $1000
Wouldn’t even buy these if I had billions to spare😂
How unsustainable could a single pair of jeans be?
What boots are those ?
I'm cheap my jeans only cost usd 4 (converted) so my cats and my Mom can enjoy better food and living accomodation . 10000 dollars would get us through 2 years of comfortable living .
Those jeans better be bullet proof and have an in built ac unit and can levitate 😂 for the 10k to be worth it
Just bought a pair of Levi’s 501 for 50 bucks! I just saved myself $9,550 BUCKS!
Made on a projectile loom and sewn in a sweat shop!
@@JoeyDecay prove it
@@CaptainWillard830 no u
Are they comfy???
So you expect me to pay $10k because some farmers use inefficient practices? FFS.
Oh dang cotton farming techniques from 150 years ago isn't that just slavery
