First off, full disclosure: I am in no shape to be wearing cuttoffs in public. That said, these look better on me that cuttofs reasonably should, and they're incredibly comfortable too boot. Unfortunately, the magic they work on my butt doesnt extend to my bare thighs.

But since my vanity precludes my wearing these out in the world as much as somebody with smoother thighs would, its hard for me to imagine being able to justify 100+ dollars for cut offsI just couldn't get my moneys worth, and Id feel foolish paying so much for cutoffs without even enjoying them as jeans first. Given the fit and comfort of these, I wouldnt have no problem paying that much for a jeans version, though its still well outside my normal budget.

Considering how forgiving they are even on my body, I could see someone with really fit thighs having a lot less trouble overcoming the price. But the nerd in me still balks at the expense and thinks, why not buy proper 7 jeans in the fall and turn them into cutoffs myself next summer?
