Hey, looking for a second opinion on authenticity. Also, there is a rip in the butt area, do you think they're worth purchasing/ is it easy to repair? They also look really worn.

those are real pete decay, 11-11.5" rise, relaxed straight leg. Don't pay more than $60 because it'll cost anywhere from $10-20 to get that repaired.

11" front rise?? thats huge. They were advertised as "rockabilly" cut though, not pete.

 

[edo3276]

look at how wide the legs look compared to the waist, the stitching on the backpockets and the rise on the back.

That's pretty much a death-sentence-rip given that R&R's are kinda well, flimsy, often. I would look for an undamaged one unless we're talking $10-30. That's a heavy stress bearing area, and will rip again even if patched imo

 

[jeanslover]

Hmm.. I could probably get them for $65 but I guess no deal? Its a shame cuz its a rare size.

 

[jeanslover]

Lol.. I asked the seller how worn they were. He said they'd been only worn twice and the rip formed because "i sat on a chair that had a poke and riped them up"

Yah they can be repaired, but as Pam says, it may re-rip. If you can get them cheap, take a chance.
