Forbes has the scoop on the most expensive jeans. They cite trends towards custom-fitted denim and lots of added detailing, including embroidery and crystals, as major reasons that prices were driven upwards, but not every pair on their list has these features. The single most expensive pair was 115-year old Vintage Levis sold on eBay for $60,000, followed by the significantly newer Ernest Sewn custom jeans, which cost up to $1,000 per pair.

Other pairs we liked this year included Levis iPod Jeans and Denim for Immortality Jeans, though we also liked the opportunity to make our own from Denim Design Lab.

Forbes need to get their act together. There are several Japanese brands that eclipse the 1000 price point. One being R by 45 RPM. This company uses natural indigo dye and its customs can run into the range of 2000 dollars. Off the rack R by 45 RPM jeans run in the 300-800 range. If you are in New York, they have two shops. One in Soho and one on the Upper East Side. Just use Citysearch or check rby45rpm's web site. Enjoy.
