a few things look suspect to me: there is a thread coming loose on the top of the waistband in the second picture. The back waistband patch picture being blurry is a red flag sometimes, but this could be laziness on the sellers part. He may not have wanted to take the time to do a better pic. I dont think the pocket flaps are even in the middle of the horseshoe. Either that or the seller was too freaking lazy to straighten out the jeans. I feel like the horseshoe on the right is odd shaped though this could be the fabric not being flattened. It looks like there may be one twisted outseam and one straight one. I think some of the whiskering looks cheap but I've seen real TR with whiskering that is far out there(so much to where it looks fake). As far as the tag goes I'm not completely sure but I think that the J on jeans is supposed to hang down a little lower than the rest of the word. This may not be true in every instance but I am not an expert. Wait for Marc to respond. He will let you know if I'm off or not. But just to be safe I would wait and not do anything on these just yet. In the meantime ask the seller for better pictures of the back pockets(straight on with the jeans flattened out). Also get a clear back patch pic. This will help me to give you a better answer in case Marc doesnt see this in time for you to bid on or buy this item.
