Finally, a trend that embraces me.

If you're at some dumb gathering or event and you feel out of place no Coors t shirt or fucking cargo pants are going to help you. Are people really this stupid? Maybe I'm missing something

No, to be saved you need hank dyed, hand woven, natural indigo dipped denim which has been hand stitched together by dragon trainers in the volcanic crater on the top of Mount Hakoni…....and a Coors tee.

We call them rednecks in ohio. You can usually spot them by the sixer of tall boys in tow and the faded back pocket skoal imprint. Fascinating subspecies.

We heard about it the day it was on and were both bummed we were travelling the wrong direction. What a trip!

Ok, this is based off my post in random rants about my crotch issue (with my jeans…not my crotch).

Right now there aren't any actual holes in the crotch. Just a few broken warp threads and a whole lot more on the way out. I have read (and it makes good sense) that it's better to attack these things early. So, given these pictures:

Should I:
try and sew thread directly over it using my wife's normal sewing machine? (like below)

just go for it and put in a fabric patch along with the aformentioned sewing? (like picture below)

Send them off to get darned (is it too early for that?)?

My goal is to fix this now before it becomes a real problem, and then not have to worry about it again for a long time. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure…but I want to use a pound of prevention. Because of that, I'm leaning towards option 2: patching and sewing. What do you guys think?

Is there a resource for this somewhere on the forum beyond the list of where to send jeans?

First pics, second are for a major blow.  You obviously have some friction issues, if you increase the thickness of the fabric by adding another layer, your jeans will wear quicker.  Make sense?
