Condition & Wear (INTENTIONAL CHARACTER):

These jeans are pre-owned and showcase authentic wear consistent with age and real use. There are paint spots on both legs, contributing to the overall grunge/workwear aesthetic. Near one paint spot, there is minor surface fraying with a small pinhole beginning to form. This does not go fully through the fabric and does not affect wearability. Close-up photos of the paint and fraying are included in the last three photographs — please review carefully.
