Product: This time the piece of clothing are these short-converting bondage-style Japanese pants from Punk Rave. You’ll most likely find them on Ebay if you search “Kera”.

Interesting to note, the skirt on my pants are opposite than those in the photo, and it’s not turned backwards. The skull and grommets were over the zipper, not the buckles. (This photo might be of a prototype.)

Info: First off, these really appear to be authentic Punk Rave brand pants. They came in the original plastic packaging, have the spider button and label.

Now, I’m a size 8 or 9 in average pants sold in the United States. I bought a size XXL of these pants because that’s the size I got for the Punk Rave pants that fit me best. Those pants had the exact same measurements listed as these pants on the Ebay store (88 cm waist, 104 cm hips), so I thought they’d fit perfectly.

Well, these pants did fit me a lot better than the previous pants-to-shorts “Punk Rave” pants I bought from a different seller previously, (which were tight on the thighs but extremely wide in the hips).
However, they did not fit as perfectly as the other pair, (which were comfortably baggy, yet acceptably snug in all the right places).
I feel tempted to warn that the measurements listed in the Ebay store were wrong… these pants seem almost too tight. I’m not sure if I would’ve been able to get these on if they had been a centimeter smaller.
