      Speaking as a reformed scandi denim fan of 3-4 years (acne and j.l.) and being a (mere) trip works wearer I have to factually disagree with you OP.

        Can a moderator change the subject title to "Captains Crotch"?

              Sorry for stearing the truck that is this thread back toward the road, but I gotta know:

              What is it about your lifestyle that leads to this? You said no jean ever lasted you more than 9 months and obviously youve had lots of different pairs…. So clearly there's something you do that's out of the ordinary. If it were a pair or two maybe it's a bad sample but if every pair you wear blows out super fast, well then, it's you.

              (And this is not meant as an insult or accusation. I really wanna know.)

                Am I to understand there is a direct correlation between crotch blowout and the size of the d-ck in the jeans?

                It really seems over the piece Captain has been a touch unlucky with his jeans but can't have lost too much confidence in IH if there's thought to buying more (301s?)

                Given that and the fact that nearly everyone else has happily had a far better experience I guess there really isn't any kind of issue

                It's been a pretty vigorous discussion tho'

                  Could be misinterpreted…

                    Don't think I lead a harder life than most of the forums members:

                    Wake up, shave and shower, bike to work (MC in summer), display a coffee cup , looking busy, earning my keep. Bike home, eat, listen to r&r, dance, maybe a beer or spliff, hanging out, take a walk, go to bed, wishing a new IH garment to surface.

                    I do walk a lot, but I can't see how excessive walking could ruin an IH jean. Some weekends I ramble, but not IH-ruining-much. Could snugness account for my abnormal wear?

                        to throw in on this argument/ discourse/ whatever… i blew out my TTS 301s in about  two and a half months. i  cycled an avg 30km in them on weekdays, so i'd guess they've done ~1700km according to my rudimentary calculations

                        80 days consecutive wear:

                          to be serious, it's obvious that wearing tight jeans and biking will destroy the crotch quickly.

                            I think people who bike a lot and war tight jeans should consider this outfit instead:

                              For every biking friend there is, there will be retaliation. I will post pics of MEAT.  ??? LOL

                              btw that outfit leaves crotch unprotected…

                              Seriously, I think I noted this already and as kit99 said tight jawns and biking is no-no, also I think long walks will affect also.

                                      What happened to the Crotch Blowout category on the main page?  I think we finally have a fitting thread for it.

                                      Captain, have you considered patching your jeans BEFORE starting to wear them?  I'm sure SelfEdge would do this for you.  Their patches have nylon threads mixed with the cloth to improve strength.

                                        I got a 3/4" hole in the crotch after just 4 months of daily wear.  I did a lot of walking in them.  I'm waiting in these to get repaired.
