Only noticed after I was starting to patch the knees (I glue them on then sew) , but a butt patch is less acceptable. Four knee patches wasted.
Just wear them backwards every other time to even out wear.
Shits made to fail. Especially carhart. Do p3ople forget that Walmart for example put less thread count in their clothing at th3 factory? Why wouldnt carhart do the same. They want you buying new shit as often as possible.

In fairness to Carhartt, these are the lighter weight, stretchier pants. Other than the knees and this butt hole though they’re still in great shape so might be time to switch back to the heavier weight pants; they’re just less comfortable for the amount of walking I do.
I had a pair of work trousers rip in that spot up the arse about 1 hour in to a 10 hr day. I worked outside too so I was catching a fresh breeze on the crack for the rest of my shift.
If its hot out its kinda refreshing
15-20 years ago I would get new jeans when they would wear at the bottom, between the boots. Those were cheap, what-we-could-afford jeans. Nowadays it doesn’t. Atter what brand they are, they’ll wear withing 6 months in that exact spot. I’m the same weight/size, so I didn’t get fatter. I highly suspect that it’s the fabric that changed, not my thighs
It’s also possible that your gait has changed as your joints age, I saw a video of myself from 10ish years ago walking with friends and the difference in my past gait was like the 2nd thing I noticed, the 1st was the differences in my friends.
Men’s DuluthFlex Fire Hose Relaxed Fit Cargo Work Pants. Duluth trading company. They last for frickin ever. Gusset already in em. Solves the chub rub! Also, good on ya for at least trying to fix your pants!
That location shouldn’t very be noticble if there’s a patch there, especially if you have matching fabric. Someone would have to bee looking closely at your inner thigh to see, and at that point that’s their problem. If you decide to buy the same pair, keep one of these as scrap material for future patch work.
But unfortunately Carhartt pants have gone downhill.
I switched to keyapparel pants. They’ve held up great. Sizing toerances on the jeans can be a bit hit or miss. I order a litlle long and just shorten to them to what I need. I tired the cargo pants too, they’re greats pants but I didnt like the fit or color (was a very light gray and didn’t look good on me)
Could also try Blaklader. I haven’t tired them my self, but might be a good option.

Same here. It’s called the chubb rub. Our thighs are thicc enough they rub together in that spot when walking.
It’s why I learned using a sewing machine: put a soft patch on it on the inside, then sew over it like crazy. Well, there’s techniques but for my sewing averse mind this works well enough.
edit: oh, it’s carhartt. I used to have a pair of their pants that lasted over 10 years. Then I bought an almost identical pair which lasted only 1 year. Same area iirc. Of course that can be ascribed to my thighs getting thicker as well, but not completely.
I’ve had good luck with Wrangler Riggs, but YMMV. https://www.wrangler.com/shop/men-workwear-riggs-workwear
You can add a gusset to the groin for better flexibility and wear resistance, it’s much better for workwear and you’ll see it in a lot of martial arts pants as well.
Besides that I recently was reminded that damp cloth abrases more, and it might be pertinent to switch between multiple pairs of work pants over the week (give each a couple days to air out inbetween). Apparently this is where the 5 suits recommendation is from, although for wool suits.
I used to be an adventurer like you. Then I took a gusset to the groin.
Yeah, that happens to me. Farting. It’s farting. All the time! Truly! Weakens the threads.
You should maybe get your farts checked by a doctor?
You need to buy pants with cordura fabric.
If it makes you feel better, I have consistently blown out the seam by the taint on every pair of jeans I have worn since I was 15.
Try a less abrasive butt plug.
It’s the bicycle seat the ruins my pants all the time, in sort of the same place too.
I’ve bought a fur cover for the seat. Not only makes it look the bike more inviting in winter, it does reduce the damage to the pants!
Darn it
That’s alright, you don’t have to hold back. You can say damn it.
It’s also acceptable to say what you feel is appropriate. Sometimes I say f—, literally like that, with the bleeping em dash. People always come at me trying to be funny or edgy or something, and say “it’s okay, you can say fuck on the internet” or whatever. I’m like bitch I say what I want and this time I didn’t feel like an un-bleeped “fuck” was appropriate. Sometimes holding back is more funny (to me). Filling in the censored thing with your mind can sometimes feel like it gives more of an effect IMO.
No, darn the hole
Or dam it.
It’s ok, really, damn that hole!
