Heh. Not too many Japanese with a butt my size. Sumo Wrestlers, maybe.
These were so worn out - the pockets were so thin and frayed as to be unrepairable - that no one would want them anyway.
That's why I dumped them, whatever went in the pockets would immediately wind up on top of my foot. Annoying. The jeans were just getting comfortable. :-)

That is exactly what they want, and they pay extra for.
As another generation of teen-agers the world over embraces American culture, secondhand jeans have become status symbols. A cottage industry, a thriving underground economy, has sprouted west of the Mississippi to buy, wash and repair used Levis for resale in countries from Finland to Australia.
No one knows for sure how many pairs are being shipped abrhttps://www.nytimes.com/1994/08/22/business/used-american-jeans-power-a-thriving-industry-abroad.htmload.";
