Both pairs that I received were also a little different from each other. One had a sewn on knee patch and and one had one without a sewn on patch but with a darker print instead to look like a patch. A little inconsistent. I have a few pairs lying around I can mess around - I'm after a dark grey pair with blue now like the Zara ones.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656222741423910557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530322011980194624.post-9672951385748021632014-10-14T14:31:54.379+01:002014-10-14T14:31:54.379+01:00You and your long legs.

I tried the Zara ones but it's not so much the length which is the problem for me this time as I can alter them myself but the actual patch which comes too low down on the leg on me instead of sitting central with my knee. I thought it might be a potential problem and I was right. But yes, the Phoebes with the patch look good - why don't you put a temporary patch on the ones you have until you get tired of them?
