Crotch blow out....

I really like the way that Lucky Brand jeans fit but I work at a desk job. Most of the stretchy styles don’t last long when working in the yard, though.Yes, I have this issue.
I use these for "work" pants. They are the best around and have an extra gusset built in.

For regular jeans I just buy some stretchy ones and resort to replacing them fairly often. I got some Lucky jeans from Costco or Sams (can't remember which) for like 30 bucks and they lasted a decent amount of time.
I wear shorts when it's warm out, even at my day job, so I'm ok replacing a couple 30 dollar pairs a year.
If you use your pockets, you wouldn’t have to pack those extra socks in the crotch area of your jeans.
The title of this thread reminded me of a particularly painful episode from my youth. School had just started and I was wearing my newest back to school outfit. I was probably in 7th or 8th grade at the time, a really awkward time for a boy. I was racing down the stairs trying to beat someone somewhere and took an extra long three step leap and heard a riiiiiiiip. the whole crotch of my brand new soft brown corduroy pants had ripped so that my whole package was hanging out of my pants, clad in underwear to be sure, but still ... at that age. The rip was at least a foot and a half long. I was so embarrassed.
The most irritating part of the whole crotch rip episode, was that my mother was furious that the pants she had just bought lasted one whole day. She took me and the pants back to the store and demanded her money back or a replacement for the pants. The sales lady, balked at giving us anything and smugly said to her, "well, he is a big kid. These pants were not built to hold up to such a big kid." So body shaming me to go along with everything else.
Being a smart aleck, I replied, "Really? Then why did they make them in a size that fits me?" She stammered and sputtered after that and didn't have an answer.
Meanwhile, the owner of this small, family run store that my mother had been patronizing forever overheard the conversation and immediately offered us a replacement pair as the sales lady skulked off red-faced. I hope she got fired.

Socks, I don’t even wear socks. But I don’t also need a bag when carrying home produce from the grocery store either!
If you're buying jeans from the Buckle it's pretty obvious that you have poor taste though. Unless you like to wear your bedazzled jeans to the Taylor Swift concerts.
Was out pollinating corn on my internship years ago and blew the crotch out of my jeans trying to get into the back of a pickup. Not a lot of options in the middle of a research plot except for this and about 30 undulated staples. Did get a little chaffing, but made it through the day. Talk about MacGyvering something!
I have discovered that wrapping a cucumber in tinfoil before sliding it into your pants will help keep the crotch area lasting longer.
In case this is a serious thread, I have this problem a lot too. Mainly because my thighs are fat, I assume.
YMMV, but Levi will honor their warranty on their products. Fill out a form, send some pictures, and they've been great about sending me a 'voucher' for $70 (or whatever) to their site. If you play the sales right, you might be able to get 3 pants for the MSRP price of 2.
I've had them warranty the replaced warranty pants. I think I've found the infinite pants glitch because they seem to fail after a year or so.
