Get rich enough and they’d start calling them bespoke skater jeans.

Bespoke means made just for you, not obscure or expensive. You can already buy custom denim.

But yes, it would be funny. :) JNCO is already making a non-ironic comeback, so we might be closer to a CEO wearing them than we think.

Can we all, in this comment thread, form a pact to be as successful as possible so that some day we may make this happen?

Or we could all just start wearing JNCO now, and one of us will eventually become successful, fulfilling The Prophecy of Big Pants On MSNBC

(i was too poor for JNCOs so i got some 40x pants at a thrift store and a cheap belt)

Yeah I was kidding because I'm pretty sure Zuck's hoodies aren't bespoke.

Wouldn't be that weird if they were. Perfect fit every time and any customizations he wants, for a relative cost that'd be indistinguishable from "free", considering how much money he has. Why not? If I could pay nickels per item and get bespoke-everything, I absolutely would.

I think similarly, and I also can see how easily you could end up with bespoke stuff just from all your assistants trying to make you happy and having previous experience connecting their employers with tailors or fashion houses. Especially since the cost and convenience of measuring and selecting has decreased so much.
