A pair of Hedi Slimane-era (2014) Saint Laurent Paris D01 slim-fit men's jeans, made in Japan in pure black. The D01 is SLP's signature slim cut — the defining silhouette of the Slimane years and the template for modern luxury men's slim denim. Offered as a repair / project / archive piece: the inner crotch has blown out (large open hole at the four-way seam intersection, photographed). All other brand markings, construction, and the Japan-made care label are fully intact. A genuine piece of Hedi-era SLP archive at a fraction of clean-pair pricing.

The Jeans

• Brand: Saint Laurent Paris
• Designer era: Hedi Slimane (2012–2016)
• Production year: 2014 (confirmed via care label code UP53 2014 00224)
• Model code: D01 M/SL-LW (Men's Slim Fit, Low Waist)
• Style number: 355531 Y859F
• Colour: Black (colour code 1000)
• Size: 33 (US/EU; fits true to 33" waist)

• Condition: For repair / project / archive piece — crotch blowout

Why this combination matters: Hedi Slimane's SLP denim from 2013–2015 is widely considered the high-water mark for the brand. Made-in-Japan pairs use premium Japanese mill denim and Japanese construction, distinct from the later Italian-made production. The D01 specifically is the slim (not skinny) cut that defined the modern menswear silhouette of the era.

Condition

Honest, full disclosure:

• Crotch blowout — large open hole at the four-way seam intersection in the crotch with fabric loss (not just seam separation), clearly photographed in the listing. This is the single dominant flaw.
• All brand markings present: inner waistband D01 stamp, Saint Laurent Paris care label, style numbers, YSL.COM era label — all photographed.
• [PENDING — please confirm: condition of the rear leather brand patch (intact and legible?), front button functional, zipper functional, knees holding, hem condition, any other holes.]
• Colour: solid black with natural light fading consistent with worn raw/coated denim from this era.

Sold strictly as a repair / project / archive piece, not as wearable jeans in current state. A competent tailor can patch the crotch (~£25–£50) and return them to wearable condition.

What to Know

Hedi Slimane-era Saint Laurent Paris denim is the most collected period of the brand's modern history. Pairs from 2013–2015 in particular — at the peak of his rock-and-roll-meets-skinny-tailoring vision — are sought after by vintage menswear collectors, archive dealers, and stylists. The Japan-made versions are preferred over the Italian production for build quality. The D01 is the slimmer of the two signature cuts (D02 is skinnier) and is the more wearable everyday silhouette of the two. Crotch blowouts are the most common end-of-life failure on slim and skinny denim across the board — repairable by a tailor, and worth the repair given the provenance. Sold honestly as a project piece, with all era-defining markings intact and photographed.
