What Land's End offers are pants which are double-kneed as well as being made of

incorporated with the whole style pretty well.


I guess the question is whether or not the fabric is really any tougher
than other jeans, because the double-knees don't really gain me much.
They boys don't care if their jeans have holes in them; *I* care about
them going to school in holey jeans, and it seems that the pants would
look just as unpresentable if they had double knees so the holes were
"only" on the outer layer.


You can carefully rip out the top layer. The main problem is that the
second-layer fabric looks too new against the surrounding. But my boy dind't
care.


And of course, with no sales on, they cost more than twice what Wranglers
cost at KMart, so they'd have to last more than twice as long for me to
feel the money was well-spent.


Sure there are sales - watch for the overstocks sales.


How adjustable is the waist with the built-in belt? Very few styles come
in slim, which is the best fit for all my boys.


They have completely adjustable elastic waists with an adjustable belt. This is
one reason why my son insists on them.

Ok, I'm convinced.... I just have to watch for them to go on sale.
They do have some on sale now but not in sizes we can use (or nice
colors, IMO).

Thanks,

DS is skinny and tall (tho not so skinny as his sister
at the moment) and the adjustable waist thingy works
pretty well for him. Of course, he's still in shorts,
(Yes, I know it was raining and 50 this morning, but
he thought shorts would be warm enough) so the only
knees wearing out are his own

Are preschoolers intrinsically hard on pant's knees or is mine unique?
3 out of 7 days in the past week, my 4.5 year old has put holes in the
knees of her pants. Now in the defense of the pants, most of them are
two years old (this is the second year of her wearing these pants).

I guess I need to figure out where to buy pants again.

Some are, some aren't. Mine only seemed to go through the knees
of hand-me-downs.

The school uniform trousers I get over here all seem to come with patches,
for mending holes in knees. I used to give them to a friend, because my
son never went through the knees, whereas her son would go through them
on a monthly basis.
