Kyle Haupert, a 23-year-old vintage clothing dealer from San Diego, bought the pants at an auction on October 1.
"I'm still kind of bewildered, just surprised in myself for even purchasing them," Haupert told the Journal. He bought the jeans with Zip Stevenson, the owner of vintage clothing company Denim Doctors, per the Journal. Haupert paid for 90% of the winning bid and is hoping the more experienced Stevenson will be able to help find the next buyer for the jeans. The total price for the pants was $87,400 with a buyers premium factored in.A post shared by Golden State Vintage A post shared by Golden State Vintage a denim magazine that first broke the news about the winning bid.
