These jeans will nto be making the journey back home with me. This hole developed in the knee, and sadly I have decided that I cannot hack the "holey jeans" look. Fine if you’re in your twenties; even I will admit it looks a bit ludicrous in your forties.

Shame… they were comfy jeans too!

And for what it’s worth, I do not intend to replace them with trousers bought in either the Gap or in Asda (or any other Wal-Mart chain company) until they sign up to a deal ensuring that their sub-contract workers have at least minimally safe working conditions.
