    Where do your jeans rip?

    Random question for tonight...

    When your jeans wear out, do they tear in the same place?

    I've worn out two pairs of jeans recently (reclaiming jeans from the back of the wardrobe, so they were already old!) and they both tore in the same sport - right hand side, just under the top pocket. I've worked out it is because just before I sit down, crouch down, anything like that, I pull my jeans up from the top of my thighs, if that makes sense. I hitch them up just under the pocket - and now I've put my finger through two pairs from doing that!

    So what about you? Knees? Bum? Round the cuffs??

    Or is it just me who rips their jeans in the same spot?

    Thighs too for me. I like to say it's because I have muscular legs, I'm like the hulk lol. (Just don't pay attention to the top half )

    Knees or butt...I guess because I'm always crawling around or sitting on the ground? Lol.

    Cuffs. Jeans are always too long and I go barefoot around the house so I'm forever stomping on them.

    Oh yes, this too! If I want to have 'nice' jeans I have to make sure I don't wear them too much because the back of the cuffs look awful on the ones I wear all the time.

    This! Even those "jeans for short people" are too long. Can't say I've ever had jeans long enough to wear out anywhere else though. Until recently, I found jeans very uncomfortable and wouldn't wear them.

    I've taken them up before but then they sit higher than I like when I have shoes on.

    Yes to the first part but I've had the opposite problem for years: ankle freezers. Luckily there's a shop that now caters for my bootiliciousness AND provides longer leg jeans. But you have to be quick, those babies sell out first, therefore reinforcing my suspicions that a lot of other bootilicious ladies are also tall. Which is a fact that seems to have escaped most clothing retailers, who add width but not length. In my younger years I believed myself to be some kind of Amazonian priestess in a world of round but very very short people. Now I know I am but one in sistahood of thigh-rubbing jean wearers. Power, y'all

    This is why I only wear Levis now: they do different "curve" sizes. So I can wear a full-curve jeans with a long leg, it fits my leg length, backside and waist. Plus the bootcut ones, I can wear heels with and they don't look too short. I wish I could get clothes and take them up, but it doesn't work for me.

    And they don't go at the knees after 5-6 months. I am now saving on my jeans expenditure.

    Although, Marydean, I am an Amazonian warrior princess. There's just more than one of us around these days. (*does Lucy-Lawless-esque backflip making an "alilililili" sound*)

    Re: Where do your jeans rip?

    Cheap jeans usually go at the knees. Never at the hem, I can never get jeans long enough to trail on the floor or stand on!

    Sometimes at the belt loops, but that's if they're cheap and ill-fitting so I pull them up constantly.
