If you find a pair you love, buy a second pair. Wearing jeans multiple days in a row doesn't allow them to "dry out".

more denim, fewer problems

Instead of folding them, try hanging your jeans in the closet where they'll get more ventilation. This will allow the denim to "reset" and be stronger.

Hang denim

Hitching your denim up as you sit down will put less stress on the thigh area.

hitch 'em up

The tighter they are, the more wear on the denim. If the next size up is too big, you can always tailor them for a perfect fit.

Check the weight of the denim
