Noticed that, which makes me wonder if these are genuine Levi's 501 jeans or a People's Revolutionary Pants Factory knock off.

Fun aside: I know a woman who grew up in the Soviet Union, her dad was a big deal in the Red Army and brought her all manner of otherwise forbidden stuff from France and W. Germany on his embassy visits. She didn't get in trouble for it, but would get comments from her school teachers. Of course, they knew better than to do anything about it since, duh, her dad was a big Red Army deal.

At least in East Germany, it wasn't that rare to have Western jeans, since many if not most people had family in the West who regularly came to visit and/or sent packages. With the rest of his outfit, I'd be surprised if those weren't "real" jeans, since he's obviously using clothes to make a political statement.

I like the button fly. That is one place on my wardrobe I do not need sharp interlocking metal teeth. It's like a mink trap down there.

Have you tried underwear? Game changer.

In my experience underjocks are more useful incase of accidentally sharting.
