That happened to me once with a pair of dress pants back when I was in sales. I locked up the store, went in the back, took of the pants, held the seam together with my hand, and stapled them along the inside of the seam. It wasn’t visible from the outside, and it got me through the day.

Yeah, that does suck. Time to break out the duct tape.
I was once in the middle of supervising my class through using the miter saw. The entire class was gathered around me. One of the really good kids tapped me on the shoulder and whispered, “Ummm, the back of your pants ripped apart.”
I shut the saw off, and went into my store room. There I found that the entire seam of one of the back pockets had torn open, it was about a 7" opening in the ass of my jeans. I closed it up with a layer of duct tape on the inside and outside of the rip, and that got me through the rest of the day.
That kid was earning an A anyways, but even if she wasn’t ... she would’ve been after that heads-up.

I haven’t had too many crotch blowouts, fortunately. But I’m annoyed by a couple new trends in pants self-destruction: back pockets ripping away from the rest of the pants and leaving holes at the top corners where the pockets are stitched on, and belt loops ripping away. The pocket thing happens mostly in jeans. I’ve had a few pairs do that to me, usually when I’m wearing an especially colorful pair of underwear. And when the belt loops break from the bottom they like to create holes too.
A little while back I switched to Duluth Trading Company pants and I haven’t had those problems since. The Flex Ballroom Jeans are the best jeans I’ve ever owned. They make lots of different styles of work pants too, and nearly all of them come with the crotch gusset that lets you squat down without pinching your nethers. I’m never buying another company’s pants ever again.

I preferred to use staples on the inside. Less conspicuous than DT on the outside, no more uncomfortable than DT on the inside, no sticky residue.

The one time in 12 years that I forgot my school key, was the day after our assistant principal implored the staff to stop forgetting their key. “Pft, I can’t forget my key, that’s why I keep it in my wallet.” I said to myself, quite smugly. Yeah, I forgot my wallet the next day. Served me right.

The fabric was too shredded for staples to hold. I have no shame anyways, no need for looking cool. The mental freedom of being a middle aged married dad is amazing. I don’t give 1/10th of one shit how I look to other people. In fact, I didn’t just use duct tape, it was checkered flag patterned duct tape.

My previous underwear was like a decade old, and the elastic was completely shot. I bought one pair of the buck-naked boxer-briefs to try them out, and loved them. Then I waited until they went on sale, help my breath, and broke out the credit card. I spend very little money on clothes, because I don’t care about them or really how I look, so I decided to treat myself. No ragrets!!! :)
I’ll have to try the jeans. I’ll need a couple new pairs when school starts.

I don’t give much of a shit how I look either, but I was in HS at the time... and whether I cared about looks or not was irrelevant. For the sake of being left in peace the fix had to go on the inside if possible. It was actually part of a uniform, and the pants sucked--I had several opportunities to find out the best way of dealing with rips :)

Came here to say this. I’ve got a pair of their Flex Firehose cargo pants (and two parts of the Flex Firehose shorts) and they’re the absolute best. I wore a pair of Levi’s the other day and wanted to die, every time I moved the pants shifted and pulled down. Duluth pants forever.

Oh man, they have good jeans? I may need to invest in those because I blow out crotches in my jeans and patch them a lot, but I am super hard on jeans. Thanks being a more built man and not having a thigh gap.
Though I find the colorful undies with a blow out is a bit more fun ;) But while I prefer jeans at work, I have uniform pants that they supply if you’d like and I keep them at work just incase. Like when battery acid sprayed all over the side of my leg. Made a cool pattern on my jeans though....
