Jackman's Jeans

I see that a pair of old jeans owned by actor Hugh Jackman have been sold at a fundraising auction for $30 000, more than double the amount paid for Nicole Kidman’s denims.

The jeans, decorated by local artist Nafisa Naomi and signed by Jackman, were among 17 pairs auctioned at a Jeans for Genes fundraising event for the Childrens Medical Research Institute in Sydney. Altogether more than $180 000 was raised at the Jeans for Genes Gala Auction.

Imagine paying $30 000 for a pair of jeans. I like to wear reasonable quality clothing but I’m careful about what I pay for the privilege. At $30 000 for one pair of jeans they’re getting awfully close to the price tags on the jeans at some city boutiques.
