Jeans that are just the legs, but still have a belt and pockets.
Available from Coperni for $1,070.
Continuing our occasional look at odd blue jeans: Werther's candy is currently holding a contest to give away 200 pairs of limited-edition jeans. The jeans feature, down the side of each leg, "30 tiny pockets perfectly designed to fit a standard bag of Werther’s Original hard caramels."
If you don't want to put candy in each pocket, I guess you could store knickknacks in them.
Enter the contest here. You've got until Oct 25.
Weird denim: Japanese artist bokunou has created a pair of jeans that appears to have an open fly, even though fully zipped up.

Naked and Famous Denim. The poor man's version of this would be to spray some fragrance on your ratty old jeans.

Adland: A global history of advertising (2007) by Mark Tungate.
The ad that really got [Emanuele] Pirella noticed was for a brand called Jesus Jeans, launched in 1974 by MCT (Maglificio Calzificio Torinese), the company that makes Kappa sportswear today. According to Pirella, the brand was vaguely inspired by the previous year's hit musical
Jesus Christ Superstar. Clearly something provocative was needed, so a young photographer named Oliviero Toscani was hired to shoot a young woman wearing the jeans, the zipper open in a manner that indicated she was not wearing any underwear, while casting a coy shadow over the evidence. Pirella's copy read: "Thou shalt not have any jeans but me."
Mixing fashion, sex and religion — in a Catholic country? No wonder Pirella got himself in the papers. The second execution was the line, "Whoever loves me, follows me,", printed over a pert bottom in denim hot-pants. (The bottom, by the way, was that of Toscani's girlfriend at the time.) The Jesus Jeans brand clearly hasn't stood the test of time, but the furore surrounding the campaign did much for Pirella's career.
Not real denim, but close enough for the "weird denim" category.
Sadly, I don't think these are being made anymore. Though you may be able to pick some up on eBay.

I've posted many examples of weird jeans, and I always think it'll be my last post on the subject because how many weird things can one do with jeans? But inevitably I come across a new example.
These "spiked jeans" are from "
Done by Doug."
We've posted about ripped jeans before. But these take the concept to a whole new level of grottiness.
You can purchase them via Bergdorf Goodman for only $2,450.
An Italian design company, Aquacalda, came out with these in 2012.
Pic Nic pants take advantage of the usual cross-legged position to become a comfortable surface useful for consumption of a meal outdoors.
Note the cup holder on the side.

Found in the book
Blue-Jeans published by Courbevoie (1997).
Vivienne Westwood has an online store, but the ripped jeans don't seem to be offered.
