“These jeans are extremely rare — especially in this fantastic worn condition and size.”
A pair of Levi’s that were worn and torn more than a century ago sold for a whopping $87,000 at an auction in New Mexico.
The denim pants were discovered in an abandoned mine shaft a few years ago and purchased by two vintage clothing collectors for more than $75,000 plus a 15% buyer’s premium. The denim duo, Kyle Hautner and Zip Stevenson, placed their bid at the Durango Vintage Festivus and won the pricey jeans with frayed hems, fade marks, paint stains, and more than a couple of holes.
Despite the wear and tear, the pants are “super-duper solid jeans” and could actually be worn again due to their durability, said Stevenson, who runs a denim repair shop in Los Angeles.
