Strange rip on my jeans...

...My grey Levis have developed a strange rip.

It's vertical, around 3 inches, and is to the left of the right hand back pocket...not the sort of place I'd expect a rip or any wear and tear - it's like as if someone had deliberately cut them this way.

Of course, I can still wear them in the house but it's annoying as they are amongst my favourite jeans, my only grey pair and I can't wear them outside any more (unless I want to expose my boxers to people).

Has anyone else had any such clothing anomalies? I'm annoyed as they match the rest of my clothes and I don't really want to buy a new pair (these were quite dear, I can remember paying full retail for them). But I think I might have to visit TK Maxx soon.

It might be the same anomaly that steals socks from my wash.

Were they deliberately distressed jeans?

Slightly, but only around the thigh and knee where they are a lighter shade of grey.

Do you carry phone or wallet in your back pocket? Maybe someone tried to steal it.

Nope, no wallet...I might add that these are around 3 years old now but I have lots of pairs of jeans and rotate through them.

The pocket itself isn't torn; only the material to the left of it.

Re: Strange rip on my jeans...

I've noticed in the past that distressed jeans can tear in the oddest of places

Have you got grey underwear?!!
