I think it's implied that one would need to buy the cheap pants several times to match the lifespan of the expensive pants.

It's a few hundred bucks. If you're in the category of buying luxury pants, this is not much money. I really do not care how affordable it is for people making minimum wage, and am obviously not talking about their perspective.

Nope, I was pointing out that even the cheapo jeans are still pretty expensive.

Also, stop being weird and antagonistic - they weren't "fake", it's called a "mistake" you brick.

HN is full of very wealthy people, I don’t think pointing this out is that useful. It’s pretty obvious who the target audience is there.
