I guess you could, in the extreme, liken this to the analogy of a mass produced automobile being compared to a car completely made by hand by a single artisan automaker. In the bad old days a handful of guys did just that, shaped and pieced each body panel with a few select tools and a flat head hammer, then another couple guys machined and milled the engine and parts, wheelwright pieced the spoked wheels, etc...., similar to the small shop kilt manufacturing businesses we all see and hear from and about in this forum. Those cars today are worth sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars, much like a hand sewn kilt will likely rise in value over time if maintained by its owner. That mass produced car loses thousands of dollars in value the minute you drive it off the lot and only if of a special style does it rise in value ever again, less than 1% of cars sold over a twenty year period. The rest get driven to death then junkyarded and parted out before being turned into scrap metal, unless they are turned into scrap metal by their owners in accidents before then.

Artisan produced goods, when maintained, will always have their intrinsic artisan quality and value, and likely rise in value with time. Your mass produced jeans will end up in the rag bag or goodwill pile in under a couple years in most cases.
