Keep ripping my jeans :(

    Hey guys,

    Don't know if anyone else has this problem but it's happened to the last I don't know how many pairs of jeans!! I've tried skinny jeans from new look, penneys and dorothy perkins and inevitably, after about a year, they rip along the inner thigh near the crotch.

    Is this just because they are cheaper quality jeans? Or am I not looking after them properly? I wash them at 40 degrees and don't tumble dry them. They keep their shape, just wear away at the inseam. If I invest in a pair of levis or equivalent will this still happen?
    Any advise to making jeans last longer?

    This always happens me too. I thought it was my thighs, but it happens to a very slender friend of mine too. I've no idea what it is, only the jeans I buy tend to be quite cheap and made of mostly cotton (usually American Eagle jeans). Sorry I can't help, but I hope other people have ideas!

    I think it's because of friction, it happens to me too. Fabric composition doesn't seem to make a huge amount of difference but I think it happens faster with my skinny jeans because they have more elastic. No way around it that I've found :(

    I didn't have much problems with this before except with pair of Zara jeans that were quite cheap. It's annoying because they were the best fit I found in years and they don't sell them anymore.

    I too had problems with some cheap zara jeans, Think they were about 25 euro each on special, got 4 pairs of different colours but all same fit. All 4 have ripped at the pockets and the crotch, shame as they were a good fit also.

    I've had a pair of Muji Jeans for about 1 year now that I really like, they haven't had an problems and are really comfortable to wear, lighter than other jeans I've had and softer.
