6 Durable Kids' Jeans That Will Last The Whole School Year
Every year it's the same: I buy my son jeans. By February the knees are worn through. I try to patch them up, but it's a disaster. I give up, and my son wears ratty, torn jeans through the end of the school year. What the hell, jean makers? Why can't you make jeans that actually last a whole year?
I decided to turn my quest for durable kids' jeans to The Prowl and got some excellent recommendations there. And then I added a couple more I found. Here are the top six most durable kids' jeans I could find.
Lands' End Iron Knee Jeans
I've gotten Lands' End jeans before, and they've lasted the longest of the bunch. But their "Iron Knee" jeans are reinforced with an invisible polyester patch. They also have double-stitched seams for extra durability. And they're guaranteed for life, so if they do (somehow) wear through, I can demand a new pair. Kind of perfect, right?
LOVE IS Organic Denim
And now, just for laughs, let's go to crazy town and look at these jeans by LOVE IS Organic Denim. Not only is the denim organic and the dyes environmentally conscious, the cotton is fair trade. The only thing I don't like is the price: ZOMG, they come in around $100 a pair. Not saying they aren't worth it (theoretically), but when you're looking at buying seven pairs, that's a hefty investment. They'd better last through the school year at that price!
