As much as possible, I try to get second hand clothes for my kids (they grow so quickly!) but sometimes I supplement their wardrobes with items off Amazon Japan using my gift card money earned here on City-Cost. These wide-legged jeans were a recent request from my daughter, who is a big fan of the distressed denim look at the moment. These are nice and soft-feeling (not super stiff, hard denim like some jeans are) and the elasticated waist means that they are extra comfy and almost sweatpant-like. The distressed element adds a bit of fun to what would otherwise be plain, wide-leg jeans, so that is a cute feature as well.

I do feel that these are kinda expensive for kids jeans, and I probably wouldn't have paid that price for them if I wasn't using my gift card money which I see as fun/splurge money to a degree. My daughter really likes them, though, so I can't complain too much. They are made in China, so if you prefer Japan-made denim you might want to look elsewhere, too. Lastly, I think that they are probably better for shorter/average height kids -- my daughter is fairly tall for her age, and while these fit her well in the waist, they are dangerously close to ankle freezer territory in the length. I don't know how long they will last because of that, but I feel like the size up would be too big and baggy.
