you are very welcome :love
straight to discount means they were never made for retail stores. they are made of lower quality denim and workmanship (mexico or china) they were sold
only in the discount stores like Off Fifth, TJMaxx, Marshalls etc so they generally sold for $99 and less when they were brand new.
i'm sorry but personally, i wouldn't pay more than $35-$40 for them :twitch but that's me

a lot of people like them :IDK i would always buy a full retail pair whenever possible and generally they are the same price as the S2D on ebay :magwink
