Hermes Sells A $470 Pair Of Boxer Shorts

Hermès, the French luxury clothier, sells boxer shorts for $470.

They're pleated. They also have a "storage pouch," according to the Hermès product description.

Usually, the point of buying insanely high-end clothes is to impress someone with your fine taste or conspicuous wealth. But if the other person is seeing your underwear, doesn't that usually mean you've already impressed him or her?

So who the hell is buying this product, and why?
