I always thought that would be a genius selling point. My grandparents raised us basically, and the one thing they never cheaped out on was clothing. We would get Levi's and Eddie Bauer etc. The thing is, we kept those Levi's for four kids. Oldest one would outgrow them and then she'd sow up the pants or arms to fit the second until she could take out the thread and make them the same size again.
