I usually go to Goodwill and buy him different ones.He would rather I patch,but jeans with no holes is what he is after.So Goodwill gets that for him.Never again,will i spend a few days taking them apart then patching and then restitching them.If he even looks like he wants his pants patched I remind him he has to take them apart.The I patch and sew back together.He agrees to goodwill.Smart boy.I will put in a new zipper and he usually offers to unstitch.
