Jeans are comfortable, everyday pants usually made from tough yet comfortable denim.

How to repair holes in the crotch of my Tenpenny Pants

My Patagonia Tenpenny Pants have developed some holes/rips in the crotch. Most of my trousers do this eventually. Is there a repair I can make to get more life out of them? They're made of cotton/polyester

Thanks

Chub rub! Also my primary failure point for all Pataguchi pants. There MUST be an easier repair than just loosing weight.

You can do an iron on patch:

The zig-zag patch requires a sewing machine:

I saw those,but I wasn't sure if they would work on a non-flat bit of the clothing (the crotch is a kind of saddle shop on most clothes)

I've done it on elbows. I put a patch on both sides and sometimes hand stitch the corners down so they don't curl up. eBay has patches but most come in from China (I've had a set of denim patches ordered now for a couple of weeks but the shipping now says VOID). You can probably find them in the states just at a higher price.

Clothing starts out as a flat piece of fabric and has curved seams to fit your shape. You can smooth down the area to where it’s flat and add a patch. You’ll follow the curved seam to keep the shape. If you are hand sewing use a back stitch which is strong and won’t loosen. For a source of patches try your local fabric stores. You don’t have to use a precut patch, you can cut your own from new fabric or my favorite, old pants ( which are already softened from wear). Denim will fray on a cut edge so just put the patch on the inside if that’s not what you like. or enjoy an edgy look.

I love that ifixit supports repair solutions!
