Well, anyone who has ever felt exasperated¹ at the sight of jeans manufactured with holes is about to have a full-on conniption. Nordstrom has seen the mid-aughts trend and raised it some, selling a pair of jeans that come dirty. Yep, these jeans,are replete² with a filthy³, fake-mud design.

那些曾经一看到破洞牛仔裤就感到恼火的人，现在可能要彻底怒了。诺德斯特龙公司注意到了本世纪初的这股潮流，并打算将其升级。该公司推出了一款脏范儿牛仔裤。是的，这款牛仔裤上满是脏脏的假泥巴设计。

They are made in Portugal, by a company called PRPS, which specializes in distressed⁴ jeans covered in holes, rips and patches.

The jeans, called "Barracuda Straight Leg Jeans" and described on Nordstrom's website as "heavily distressed," are said to "embody⁵ rugged⁶ Americana workwear that's seen some hard-working action with a crackled, caked-on muddy coating that shows you're not afraid to get down and dirty." The price of pretending you've been hard at work doing manual labor⁷? A leisurely⁸ $425.

Photos of the Barracuda Straight Leg Jeans went viral online recently, with people leaving all kinds of snarky reviews on the Nordstrom website.

"Gotta love being able to look like I have fed the pigs, helped deliver a calf⁹, and get the tractor unstuck without ever having to leave my BMW. Love it," one person wrote.

"These are perhaps the best jeans I've ever owned. Perfectly¹⁰ match my stick on calluses," another commented.

Nordstrom eventually removed the reviews, but the onslaught continued on Facebook, Twitter and the comment sections of major news sites. They even got a comment out of Mike Rowe, the famous host of popular Discovery Channel show "Dirty Jobs".

"The Barracuda Straight Leg Jeans aren't pants. They're not even fashion. They're a costume for wealthy people who see work as ironic¹¹ - not iconic," Rowe wrote on Facebook.
