Do these $250 jeans come with a gold medal?

While most of us will never excel at a sport well enough to make it to the Olympics, now you can at least dress like an Olympic gold medalist. Remember those oversized, distressed jeans gold medalist snowboarder Shaun White and his cohorts wore in the Vancouver Games? They’ll be available at snowboard shops and online sometime in October. The jeans are waterproof and made from a process called photo sublimation, where the look of tattered jeans is printed onto the jeans with a special heat process. The jeans will sell for $250. And I’m sure they’ll fly off shelves as fast as White’s Double McTwist 1260. But for $250, do they come with a gold medal?
