The daily steal: Skinny cargo pants, $70

A fellow intern came into work one day recently boasting that she had finally gotten her hands on a pair of J-Brand Houlihans. Being baffled that there was a waitlist for pants, I asked “yeah, but what’s so great about them?" she zealously asserted “They’re cargos! And they’re skinny! And they zip on the side!" Call me a plebeian, but for $70, these here cargos (at Jacob) do the exact same thing, no?
