Pair of 1880s Levi's jeans with original racist slogan sold at auction for £67,500

A pair of Levi's jeans from the 1880s complete with a white supremacy slogan has fetched $76,000 (£67,650) at auction.

Kyle Haupert, 23, who collects vintage clothing, bought the well-worn jeans at the Durango Vintage Festivus auction in New Mexico, in the US on October 1.

The 38-inch waist and 32-inch long antique jeans have been hailed as the "holy grail of vintage denim collecting" and are thought to be one of the oldest known pairs of Levi's.
