    Maybe it helps now that the pedal pushers are discounted.

    I agree the side seams have mismatched plaid. This type of plaid pattern is not difficult to match up if they expect customers to pay retail over $60.00 US. But to the manufacturer, it probably means material wasteage to line-up the pattern pieces for cutting. Who knows.

    If I buy plaid (which has been rare) garment, I will only buy plaid finished garment if the lines match up. Otherwise why bother. Might as well, look better in a solid colour.

    It's a real pricing travesty, especially if it's expensive genuine wool plaid on dressier clothing when the plaid does not match.

    But if one doesn't sew, then the customer is assumed as abit "dumber" (or desperate to buy) and unaware to these finer details of workmanship. Same finer detail, ie. curved waistband on pant or skirt that puckers, the notched collar areas of a jacket which do not symetrically match, etc.

    I have sewn with plaid material for a number of different garments.
