    THE CROTCH IS THE CRUX OF THE PANT; THE AREA WHERE ALL TENSION IS CONCENTRATED; PESSIMAL FABRICATION LEADS TO CROTCHRIP.

    It happens if you are wearing a fit that is too tight in the thigh and crotch area, resulting in lack of crotch mobility and too much tension being concentrated in that area. Some guys are skinny enough to be able to manage to fit into slim fit jeans without blowing out the crotch in a short time period. This can usually be solved by getting a straight relaxed fit

    never in my entire life. and i have worn the same pairs for years. i think it’s a fatty problem for big dudes whose thighs rub together

    >How does it even happen?
    if you let your pants sag a little, you’re basically pulling the crotch apart with every step.
    mostly happens to people who don’t wear belts, or fatties whose belts slip down their guts throughout the day.

    it mostly happens if the crotch of your jeans isn’t fitted correctly and droops too low. It can also happen from abrasion if you have fat thighs/narrow hips. (people will tell you that the abrasion thing isn’t real but it is)

    Finding a pair of jeans that fits properly if you have funny proportions is basically impossible which is why some people seem to constantly blow out their crotches. I’ve found that work pants tend to come in more "customizable" fits so I wear those almost exclusively now.

      Pretty much spot on. You see it in raw denim especially bc not washing jeans for that long builds up dirt and bacteria that weaken the fabric

      this crotch blowout thing seems relatively recent, like ~15 years or newer.

      Combination of factors imo- lower rises and slimmer cuts became the default, and mass market denim fabrics have been getting thinner and shittier

    I have a couple pairs of levis from the early 80s with slight blowouts, thinking of taking them to the the koreans down the street

    Never happened to me. Also all of my cheap jeans have lasted me a while with minimal upkeep. I don’t get the whole ‘Muh Levis last two years’ crap.

    I blew out a pair of rick memphis jeans that were too big on me and I only weight 130. They were loose so I pulled them up a bit before squatting to lift something and blew them tf up. Squats in general will put a ton of tension on the crotch seam especially in two scenarios; either the pants are tight and always in tension, or they’re sagged so the crotch of the pants are below your own, and your legs have a lot more range of motion then the pants are capable of

    Never happened to my casual jeans. But has happened to jeans that I wore for work

    Just from general bending, kneeling and crouching.

    Thats why I always cringe at these rawdenim gays on Reddit and fashion forums. They all seem to size down on their jeans for some reason to compensate for "stretch".

    Been wearing raws for like 15 years and never did this. Just got whatever size fits good in the waist. And whatever extra stretch it got just added to comfort. But ppl do crazy size down then wonder why their shit gets worn out so easily
