Shopping: Genius Jeans For Kids

If you’ve ever found yourself struggling to seamlessly sew up the knees of a pair of your kid’s jeans after a particularly frolicsome afternoon in Central Park, you’re in luck. We just recently came across a truly ingenious design from Lands’ End: the Iron Knee pants.

We haven’t seen anything quite like these out there in the world of children’s wear and especially love the Boys’ Classic Fit Iron Knee Jeans. These slacks have serious staying power with reinforced knees that double up overall durability via an invisible polyester square of fabric. (And kids can neither feel nor see the special patches while wearing them!) So you’ll end up buying fewer pairs of pants and saving some money for more important purchases–like that third visit to the street vendor for the obligatory pretzel or lemonade.

Don’t you just love spring afternoons in the park? Grass stains aside, of course.
