This is a flat spider. It could be either family Trachycosmidae or Trochanteriidae, the easiest way to differentiate is that Trachycosmidae can climb smooth surfaces, such as glass. Trochanteriida cannot. However, in the absence of this information, this one appears to me to be closer to Trachycosmidae.

Can't provide any further information on climbing, was on a pair of jeans and decamped to floor.
