Pics of PrPs from ebay

[Luca5446]

here are pics of the "prps" jeans from ebay, I've been looking and researching the jeans for a over a week and trying to compare what I saw with these, some things are the same, and the denim is heavy and feels thick, the rivets for the buttons say: "selex", there is lining on the inside of the bottom of the back pockets, and the belt loops are the same-shady factor- includes the smooth side of the rivets inside the jeans, the threaded design looks different below the outside labal, and the patch feels very smooth (can't tell if its leather)...so if they are fakes they went through alot of trouble to match the jeans...I live in RI, the closest place that sells PRPS's might be Boston, so I can't inspect the jeans in a store...any input from you guys would be great

thanks

Here's what I see wrong (compared to my three pair of prps, currently in my lap.....)

the waist snaps....there is an extra snap there. There should only be two female snap ends, one of which the black male snap should attach to normaly, and then the second one in the event that you want to shorten the waist of the jeans.

The tag material is wrong: as you said, too smooth, and the undersize shouldn't look white like that

The tag print is wrong: The graphic printed on the "leather" tag is not even close to the same as whats on mine (keeping in mind the non-selvage jeans have the purple printed tag, while the selvage one's have the simpler tag)

The inside's of the rivets: Real prps have donut looking rivets when viewed from the inside of the pants, there is a hollow circle in the middle of them. the one's pictured here are smooth backed.

Phew....Im spent

Oh, one more thing I just noticed: The extra peice of deniim that makes up the waist adjustment peice, seems to sewn on differently. In the picture the orange stitching goes straight top to bottom, along the entire edge of the flange opposite the snap. On the real ones, the flange is bar tacked at the top and bottom of the edge, it does not meet in the middle at all

anybody else see stuff I'm missing?

Fuck....more shit to buy

I agree, they are fake I'm sorry to say. The dead giveaway is with the whiter smoother rising sun tag. The rest is very similar to a pair of real PRPS, not exact but close.
