One Of Life's Mysteries
Jan 14 at 5:04 PM

Can anyone venture any theories as to why blue jeans are disposed to wear prematurely in the crotch? I find that almost every pair I have owned eventually wears big holes in the crotch. Would love to hear some third party input/theories about my new hobby.

I agree that is a mystery.... I've worn several jeans over my lifetime and some for more years then I should of and I can't say I have ever worn out the crotch of any. What kind of jeans are you buying?

Had that happen.

Mine wear out on the front of the legs-thighs or knees usually, and that is from carrying/lifting hay bales and such.

It is always moving, folding and rubbing. It is also sweat, dirt and skin oil.

What everyone else is thinking , you buy your jeans too big. With too much extra material in the crotch area not being filled out, it bunches up and wears against itself causing the holes! So, either buy the right size, or fill them out!...lol

Hope this helps! Good luck!

34W is Snug

I wear a 34W x 30T, and trust me, I wouldn't want my jeans any snugger. I like med rise boot cut because cowboy boots are basically the only thing I wear. Not fussy about brand, GWG/Mark's house brand/Walmart house brand all good. Don't believe that I need to spend more than $30 for a pair of jeans. Personally I think it's the fabric being stretched when you squat or spread your legs.

How long do you typically wear a pair of jeans for? Or how long does it take for you to blow out your crotch?

Mine wear out because of shifting and scratching.
