The Pepe Mystery

Like most women, I own way too many pairs of jeans and am always on the quest for that perfect pair. Well, fit-wise, I've found a brand I really like and that complements my body-shape: Pepe Jeans. However, today the same thing happened to my latest addition to the Pepe collection (I own 4 of their jeans) - the denim tore just above the knees. This is really annoying and has never happened to me with any other brands, cheap or expensive. In fact, my Pepe jeans are the most expensive ones I own. The tear that also defaced the previous 2 pairs of Pepes I purchased, looks like this when it is "fresh":

On the plane back from Hamburg I noticed the telltale signs of an impending tear at the material, but hoped I was wrong. This model was not a skinny-fit pair as the previous 2 it happened to so I can't have stretched it in any way. Well, on Monday morning, the bugger tore. What I think is the cause of giving the denim its old-bedspread-texture is that it was treated with aggressive chemicals to achieve the artfully "destroyed" look. Yep, destruction sure happens and I am not a big fan of jeans with slits and holes beyond the age of 22, I have to say. Neither does it look cool when you try to mend it, so here goes another pair, really...

I'm aware of the fact that I can't sit still and lady-like at my desk and occasionally like to sit on my knees, but, hey, what if not jeans to let you sit in a comfortable fashion?

So. If anyone fancies (3 pairs of) "personally destroyed" jeans, let me know...
