My Joe's Jeans ripped along the thigh after just a few months!

[Anonymous]

Has this happened to anyone else? I didn't gain weight, if anything I lost some weight. I am kind of mad. I don't expect premium denim to only last a few months. (I wore them 2-3x per week, not everyday). I was also careful with washing them, and didn't too frequently. Bought them at Bloomingdale's.

Do I need to suck it up and buy new jeans?

Take them back to Bloomingdales and see what they say.

"Premium denim" is a term made up by the fashion industry to convince people to buy pants that the manufacturer probably spent less than $20 to manufacture. In most cases it does not indicate greater quality of construction than jeans at Walmart, Old Navy, or anywhere else.

A good tailor may be able to patch the rip from underneath. Try Millie's in north Arlington - they did a good job for me once.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, I will try to bring them back...worse they can say is no, maybe their tailor can help...

If you still have the receipt, they will take them back or exchange them. (They still might even if you don't have the receipt.)

that happened to me in an airport on my way to london. i squatted down and my jeans ripped on both sides of the inner thigh. thank god it was winter and i had a long coat (i had already checked my luggage). though, i had gained 5lbs...who knew that was enough to do it! i agree, price doesn't mean quality...though sometimes it does mean a better looking fit, the denim can be flimsy.
