All attitude. Original tags. Eighties energy, zipped from top to hem.

These late-1980s Traffic “Paris” acid wash stretch jeans bring bold black-and-white snow-wash texture to an ultra-high-rise, leggings-like silhouette. Contrasting black zippers run the full length of both outer legs, while panel stitching and sharply tapered ankles give this deadstock pair its unmistakable edge. Original paper hangtags remain intact.

~ Product details:

~ Who it is for?

For vintage denim collectors, glam-rock dressers and fans of 80s clubwear, punk-inspired streetwear and high-contrast styling. Best for someone seeking a close-fitting, high-waisted silhouette and comfortable choosing vintage by garment measurements.

~ Why you will reach for it:

The dramatic side zippers do the statement-making, so even a simple tucked-in top feels intentional. A cotton-rich stretch weave combines substantial texture with give, while the 13-inch rise makes the waistline a focal point. Original hangtags add appeal for shoppers who love discovering unworn older stock.

~ Size and measurement chart:

Measurements were supplied from a flat-lay assessment. Waist and leg-opening figures are reproduced as provided; whether the leg opening is a flat width or circumference has not been specified. Stretched measurements and hip measurement are not available. Compare with a similar pair that fits you well. The approximate modern size is not a fit guarantee.

~ Condition assessment: Sold as is in deadstock conditions

Category: New With Tags / Deadstock. Appearance: pristine, per the store’s assessment. Original paper hangtags are intact. The supplied inspection notes report no signs of dry rot, elastic degradation or structural fading, and smoothly operating black side zippers. Deadstock describes older unworn stock, not recent manufacture. Please review the photographs and measurements before purchasing.

~ Style tips:

• Romantic rock: tuck in a sheer cream pussy-bow blouse and add pointed white leather boots to contrast the bold wash with soft texture.

• Glam rock / heavy metal: pair with a band tee, cropped jacket and ankle boots for a concert-ready outfit.

• Cyberpunk-inspired streetwear: add a fitted black top, silver-tone accessories and chunky boots.

• Dark-academia twist: soften the acid wash with a black turtleneck and tailored blazer.

• Seasonal layering: wear with a light blouse in transitional weather or layer a knit and jacket for cooler days.

! Brand and garment story:

This pair carries the Traffic “Paris” name, a Hong Kong country-of-manufacture label and RN 64881. The original hangtags, cotton-stretch composition, side-zipped construction and late-1980s dating supplied by the store form the documented story available for this listing. The “Paris” name does not indicate French manufacture.

Its dramatic wash and tapered proportions lend themselves to the glam-rock and clubwear styling associated with the era. That is style context, not evidence that this particular pair was produced for a performer or subculture. A verified brand founding history, exact production year, factory identity and original retail journey are not available, so no additional provenance is claimed.

A more considered fashion choice

Choosing deadstock puts an existing garment into use and makes use of the materials and manufacturing already invested in it. When it replaces a newly made purchase, it can reduce demand for additional production. Keeping it in use through thoughtful care supports a longer garment life.

Impact calculation: item-specific CO2e, water and energy savings cannot be calculated from the available information. That would require a supported production baseline, garment weight, transport and care assumptions, and information about the purchase being replaced. This pair is not described as zero-impact, zero-water or guaranteed landfill diversion; shipping, cleaning and future care still have environmental impacts.

~ Care:

Check and follow the physical care label before cleaning. Specific washing temperatures, drying methods and dry-cleaning suitability have not been confirmed. Treat the vintage stretch fabric, original tags and zipper hardware with care.
