I've had my mom sow a patch of denim on the 9301s, but the hole kept growing so now I've got double patches (inside and out), bought me a month, but the denim is now unravelling next to the patches…
I never had a single pair of jeans crotch-damaged, even after years of wearing and even the lamest of them. I think it depends on the owner. Everyone has his crucial points. Mine are knees and pockets.
ive had jeans behave that way ,,but we are talking years of abuse,too many hotwashes,bike crashes,fallin over shitfaced,,,u must lead a brutal lifestyle :o
