I buy the same exact pair of jeans every time. These are the only ones I wear. Dickies Duck Carpenter jeans. 98% cotton 2% elastane. Every time they start to go they suffer the same fate. It starts like this and slowly gets worse. I sew it up over and over again until it just simply doesn’t work anymore then it’s time for a new pair of jeans. I kneel a lot for work now and these are starting to give out a LOT faster than normal. Is there something different I can do? Can I do something when I first buy them to keep this issue at bay for longer? I don’t have a machine so I don’t think zigzagging is gonna go too well for me. I can hand stitch fairly well though
