Patches Not Included

I won't name names or publications, because my intent is not to snark on an otherwise well-written, thoroughly-researched fashion supplement piece, BUT.

In what possible universe does it make sense--in an article on the new austerity and the need to buy well considered, long-wearing clothes, which furthermore cites that British WWII classic on hiding the tatters on the six items of clothing you own, Make Do And Mend--to use these Warehouse jeans as illustrative material on what to buy now?
