WHY THESE CAME HOME
It was the paneling that got me. The long triangles running down each leg make these feel almost architectural. The fading follows the construction instead of hiding it, so every seam becomes part of the design.

CONDITION
These have been well loved and it shows in all the right ways. The fading follows the panel construction beautifully, giving the jeans even more dimension than they had when they were new.
There is a small paint mark near the lower back leg (shown in photos), along with gentle wear consistent with age. Structurally they are excellent.
