Marc by Marc Jacobs Jeans medium weight denim. Size 2




Hi all,

For those of you who have discovered that you're the same size as I am, these Marc by Marc Jacobs jeans, purchased from the Marc Jacobs boutique on Mercer St. would make excellent "boyfriend" style jeans.

For the sake of comparison, I wear a size 25 in Acne and 24 in most all other jeans.

My friend at who worked at MJ talked me into cutting off the hem, which seemed liberating then, but you would probably want to have them hemmed now (unless you plan on wearing them rolled up as I am in the photos.)



These jeans have a permanent crease "marked" in them.

My favorite details? They have plain back pockets, no labels (unlike the bells and whistles of current MJ jeans), the slight boot cut doesn't look wrong at the moment but if you think it does, they look great as "boyfriend" styled jeans.



Why am I getting rid of them? You guessed it. I have a pair in size 0, too.

Size 2
Material 100% cotton. Medium weight denim.
Rise 8"
Measurement at top of thigh: 9 1/2"
Waist: 14 1/2"
Inseam: 30 1/2" -- which is great if you aren't 'specially tall like me and would like to have them hemmed.

Condition: aside from the rough hem, no tears, stains or rips.

Asking: $18 = $5 shipping, $5 more to Canada, $9 more elsewhere in the world.
Listing end: Jan 30. Leave email in comments!
