cheap mondays

are unfortunately just that, cheap. i got a hole in a seam of one pair after the first week. and the fly unzips itself. often. cue embarrassment. i am unluckily inbetween sizes. i can kind of fit into the smaller size, but then have trouble breathing. the larger size stretches out so much i get bags around the butt. not attractive. they make a nice skinny jean, but god help us all if styles like the eiffel tower and pamper become commonplace. in the luxury jean market, yes $50-60 for a pair is cheap. but what excuse do they have for the poor quality, when a 440 pair of levis will last for years and years?
