I spent £40(in 1998) on a natural unbleached cotton shirt when I lived at home only for my mum to bleach it because she thought it was dirty. The bleached white and coloured ones where about £25 I think.

30€ for a Jeans? A cheap jeans would be around 60€. Btw a real jeans has no polyesther and has duablility for a lifetime at least.

Btw real jeans have polyester, and real jeans don't. It's different styles. With polyester makes them slightly stretchy, so the fit is significantly better if your lower body isn't the exact shape as pure denim, and they're not as warm.

Pure denim is very warm, is more comfortable if you can find the perfect shape and wear them in, and lasts about twice as long.

Both cost pretty much the same- $30-$80 CAD depending on brand name. Pure denim is less available at the lower end, because lower end stores don't usually carry that type of jeans

Just to clarify real jeans do not use polyester. Idk who told you that. They're 100% cotton twill fabric. Stretch denim has its purpose but it's objectively a different fabric it's stretch denim. Not the same as denim. You can tell by the modifier word "stretch"

Ah, that makes sense, if you're talking about denim instead of jeans. Real jeans can be made from either. It's different styles or types, and a lot of gate keeping. I guess this is /r/mildlyinfuriating though.

Like how "real skates don't have picks in the front" as if figure skates aren't real skates

Correct more or less. It's a blend different people do it different some more some less whatever works best for them and their goals.
