Ongoing auction on eBay (I had to put a valid price on the boards, so I put in the price I bought it for). Just thought you all may be interested. 3 Days left (will end on Tues evening). Just searching "AI-003" on google will reveal multiple articles describing the artistry behind this pair of jeans.

eBay Listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/172566342835?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

I have 190 positive feedbacks on eBay and 0 negative feedback, as far as my seller's record.

Description:
Pre-owned. Purchased from Blue Owl for 685 USD. Hemmed to 34 inches in-seams post soak. Worn at most ~10 times and presoaked just once. See pictures for details. Searching "AI-003" will reveal a great deal of information about this pair of jeans. I gained about 15 lbs since purchase making these jeans rather too tight for me at the waist. My loss is your gain (ended up purchasing a 36 in size from Blue in SoHo).

Please only serious bidders who know their sizing as this will be an open auction. I will not accept returns for this auction.

Shipping is Free, CONUS (Continental US). Via USPS Priority Mail.

Description
The AI-003 is Pure Blue Japan's signature small-batch 18oz natural indigo dyed selvedge denim, widely considered one of the most beautiful fabrics in the world. Woven on a single shuttle loom via a painstakingly slow process, the fabric has an uneven and streaky texture reminiscent of the loom it was woven on. Finished with custom nickel buttons, deerskin natural leather patch, and the signature Pure Blue Japan indigofera leaf embroidery.​
  • The "Slim Tapered" fit from Pure Blue Japan has a medium rise, and is slightly slim in the top block with a strong taper from the thigh down​
  • 18oz unsanforized raw selvedge denim​
  • Signature Pure Blue Japan leaf embroidery on back right pocket​
  • Deerskin natural leather patch​
  • Blue selvedge line, coin pocket selvedge​
  • Custom branded nickel button fly​
  • Hidden back pocket copper rivets​
  • Raised belt loops​
  • Chain stitched hems​
  • 100% cotton​
  • Made in Japan​
