Disintegrating into Nothing

If you look at an earlier post you can see the aritzia jeans I wore. They are dead. I don't know how but they ripped multiple times in... let's just say, in places they shouldn't rip.

This may be the saddest day to hit fashion history - they honestly were the perfect jeans! Skinny jeans but not so much so that they cut off circulation in the legs, low rise but not low enough that you can't bend over, and they looked great with everything. And now...

I'm wondering if it would be possible to have them stitched or patched? They never felt like denim so I took a look at the tag: 75% cotton, 25% elasteen (i think it said elasteen). This came to me as a shock - I thought jeans always contained, well, denim! Oh, how young and foolish I was.

On the plus side, I will be on a bus to Montreal at 2:45pm Monday that will then take me to France.
On the down side, I won't be able to bring those jeans.

Good thing I got them on major sale!
