Diet Butcher Slim Skin S/S 2010 (Thorns) Coated Leather Tab Jeans (Size 1)

Just received these in the mail today (Hide-san!), and realize that I should have gone with the my instinct (size 0) instead of the measurements (size 1). Ugh. Anyway, I am trying to move these fast and to get back approximately what I paid for them. I am unhappy about having to part with these, but I am rather particular about the fit of my jeans, and these were just slightly too large in the seat and calf for me to be completely okay with them.

So, what's awesome about these jeans? First of all, they are coated like those unfortunate seabirds in the Gulf of Mexico, with an amazing wax throughout the jean, but especially so at those parts of the jeans that would "crease" with repeated wear, e.g. the thigh, the back of the knee, the seat, and the hems. Second, the conspicuous leather strip running down the outside of either leg, an effect that looks incredible on these jeans (dark black vs. lighter black) when viewed from the side. Third, the classic DBSS skinny fit of these that would be entirely out of control on a size 29 or 30. Lastly, there are additional random details and distressing elements throughout the jeans, from the unique studs and rivets on the pockets, to the standard Diet Butcher belt keychain ring and seven-pocket design (four in the back), to distressing at the waist, knees, and hems. Overall, it's obvious that quite a bit of love went into the production of these jeans.

Fit-wise, I am a 28/44 and I personally find these a little bit too large. But really, that is just me and my craving for spandex-tight jeans. These could easily accommodate, depending on the desired degree of tightness, anywhere from a 28 to a 30 waist (or a 31 if you are like me and crave a beyond-skintight silhouette on your lower half). But, as with anything, check the measurements first. These are technically "stretch" jeans (5% elasthane), so they will mold to you as you wear them. (Five percent is sort of a lot of elasthane, which is why I say they could possibly fit a size 31.) They are entirely brand new (tried on once this morning) and come with all original tags. Pristine, unused condition.
