Are you in the market for some indie rock ephemera? Well, you’re in luck: K Records and Beat Happening founder Calvin Johnson is auctioning on eBay two pairs of “vintage ’80s punk Levi’s jeans,” which he wore during the inimitable decade. One pair is Levi’s 505s and one pair is Levi’s 501s. “Worn by Calvin Johnson to punk shows in Olympia, Portland, Tacoma, Seattle, New York, Washington DC, Tokyo, and around the world,” read the eBay listings. 

They are, as the listing notes, “thoroughly holy in the front, back, and knees.” As of press time, the bidding was up to $43 for the 501s, and only $4.75 for the 505s, though to be fair, “the left pant leg is nearly cut off just below the pocket,” for the 505s.

K Records is also auctioning Sonic Youth boxers sold on the Goo tour for some reason.
