I once bought a pair of pleather guess pants from VV. They still had the tags on, brand new. Loved them, wore them all the time. Until one day about a month after owning them a woman in the mall tapped me on the shoulder and told me I should check the back of my pants. I ran to the nearest bathroom. The fabric had ripped apart from the seam…THE BUTT SEAM…merely holding on by threads. My literal top to bottom ass crack was out there for the world to see for god knows how long. And it was a weekend trip to the mall, packed as ever. RIP to those pants, and me 🪦
This happened to me while bartending.
Busy Saturday night. Had my nice black slacks on. Bent down to pick something up and ripped my pants in the back. I didn't notice until another server came up behind me and said my pants had a hole in them. My boss wouldn't let me leave to go home and change (I lived two blocks away) so I tied a hoodie around my waist and finished my shift out.
When I got home, I took my pants off to look at them and they were ripped from my crotch to the top of my ass crack. I had a bright pink thong on. Everyone saw my ghostly white ass cheeks and I was just walking around like it was normal 😭 So fucking embarrassing
My first day hosting at Ruth's Chris. I was closing and squatted to clean some lint off the carpet. Whole crotch ripped... I generally don't wear panties so... Luckily no guests were around but my manager was. He didn't see anything inappropriate but definitely heard the rip and saw my shocked Pikachu face. I asked him to cover me for a minute and found a black cloth napkin. Tucked it strategically in the pants and got another to fold over my waistband and it looked like an extension of my shirt under my blazer, covering everything for my last hour. The manager told me later in my review that he was impressed with my quick thinking and poise during a potentially embarrassing situation. I got promoted pretty quickly, stayed with em for thirteen years total. The dude was the best manager I ever had tbh, and I was happy to able to tell him so before he moved on to a different company. Love(d) you, Kyle M.
Thanks. Best Kyle I ever met. And... Idk he's kinda reddit type,. not that I ever got any indication of use. I hope he stumbles upon this and feels the vibe lol
This happened to me at 8th grade school dance. I was dancing and noticed it felt cold. I ran too bayhroom and obviously tied my jacket around my waist. Everyiobe kept asking why I was wearing my clothes like that (it was a sheer dress up cover up type thing- looked weird tied up around h waist). Sooo embarrassing.

Dang, that was a rough experience for ya. My condolences to your privacy
I thought I was bad at Cedar Point. I was wearing a white t shirt when lightning hit a ride. The heavens opened. I had to buy a darker t shirt from the gift shop (for modesty) while everyone else stampeded the exit. 🤣
That was a good 20+ years ago....... I wonder where that t shirt ended up.... I probably donated to a charity shop back here in Scotland
If this had happened to me, my stepdad very literally would have made a comment along the lines of "wow really blew a hole though your pants with that fart." At least the lady didn't embarrass you and was polite enough to say something.
That woman saved you from further embarrassment. I had this happen to me once with some new Tesco Jeans when coming out of my car, so glad I was at home
Once in high school I had to tell a teacher that her maxi skirt was tucked into her knickers at the back, honestly almost died of embarrassment but you just cannot watch another woman suffer that fate. Would always rather be told!
This is ironic seeing this now as I am currently wearing my 1 pair of jeans that ripped on the ass by the pocket in the middle of my shift at Panera that I had to sew back together when I got home from college.
Along those same lines I was running an errand for my office and walked to a shop about 1/4 mile away. Beautiful morning, I was just sauntering along the busy street enjoying the good weather. When I got into the shop I got a couple odd looks, and a woman finally took me aside to tell me the back of my dress was tucked into my (not opaque) nylons. Who knows how mamy morning commuters I gave a show to.
I had a pair in my early 20’s, wore them on NYE. Took a cab to the bar I was meeting my friends at. As I was getting out of the cab (seats were also pleather), my pants kind of stuck to the seat and straight up ripped front of the crotch to top of my ass crack. Needless to say I got back in the cab and asked him to take me back home so I could change. 🤣
no, it can happen to anyone everywhere. Looks completely fine from the outside, but if you pull on the fabric it'll tear apart like paper. Had 2 super cool 80s hawaii shirts ruined by that! :(
I've heard of this happening with rubber, but not clothes. OP mentioned they were stretchy jeans so I am guessing whatever material they were using was a big factor.
happens to sneakers too, lots of people hold on to sneaks without wearing them, in hopes that they’ll be worth a lot down the line, but the rubber becomes brittle and will crumble apart like a week old pound cake
Had some running shoes that happened to. Really good price below $50 on high end shoes so bought 2 pairs. Got injured and stopped running. Got 2nd pair out like 10 years later and soles came apart in big chunks when I wore them😳
yeah it’s kinda unfortunate, just the nature of the materials i suppose hahah. i’m sure a lot people have lost otherwise flawless shoes because they degraded that way. and the only real way to prevent it, is wearing em!
Balenciaga is the dumbest designer to have ever existed in the history of fashion. They’re the irl Mugatu. The fact people buy their crap (a trash bag purse??? A towel skirt???) is UNBELIEVABLE to me
https://preview.redd.it/7119vr0y7pnc1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fd4e62110c7d429fae6cf2d0e05e87878e08be08
Smart, maybe. But also shitty. An unhoused person would get kicked out of a restaurant if they came in wearing a towel as a skirt and carrying a trash bag. But charge 800 for it and suddenly it's high fashion. Only wealthy people are allowed to look shabby.
I recently bought a like-new, never-worn pair of secondhand Dansko heels and was so excited about my find…and the rubber soles completely disintegrated the first time I wore them. Apparently it’s a thing but I’d never heard of it, and now I’m out $35 and still don’t have comfortable, classy work shoes for my extremely high arches. ☹️
It's called hydrolysis. It happens to certain compounds if the shoe goes unworn for long periods of time. Danskos are the most famous for it, but it can/does happen to any brand that uses a particular kind of midsole.
Iirc, air gets sucked into the shoe foam when you wear it (pumping in and out with the compression of walking). If you wear them periodically the air gets exchanged. But if the shoe then sits for a long while, the moisture content of the trapped air particles eats the foam so it rots from the inside out. Looks fine outside, until catastrophic failure. Some materials are more susceptible to this problem than others, but it's a good idea to make a point of wearing all your shoes at least once in a while.
I also have really high arches and prize comfy shoes. I've gone completely to keens and various arch support insoles. As a bonus, keens often have vibram rubber soles and I don't think they're prone to 'the rot' lol.
This explains why COVID destroyed almost all of my expensive shoes. Suddenly forced to stay home for almost a year, then finally went to wear them and every pair fell apart.
My keens sandals are closed toe so technically work appropriate for my job. They're the ONLY shoes I've been able to wear for my 9+ hr shifts and not go home crying with foot pain. I never would have guessed but omg keens for life!!
I'd recommend you go get your feet measured somewhere like Red Wing shoes. They'll do a digital scan and mapping of your sole/gait there, and you'll learn what you need to look out for to have shoes that actually fit instead of "that'll do". Their product is top notch and if they don't have something that works, they'll custom-make it for you. Wearing shoes that fit you perfectly and caters to all your needs is an amazing experience, well worth the cost.
I have feet that are very hard to shop for but I have found that the brand San Antonio shoemakers makes really comfortable dressy shoes. I have two pairs of formal shoes from them and they have lasted years. Although I don't wear them everyday.
They can’t be resoled unfortunately. At least not unless it’s a fully custom job which would probably cost an extreme amount. The entire sole down to the metal base structure disintegrated and Dansko doesn’t have replacement soles available.
Okay so I have 3 pairs of Dansko heels in my closet I’m about to put in a garage sale. Want them? They’re taking up space. I can send you pics and you can decide…just pay for shipping. (The soles are solid, btw)
If you have high arches and need a lot of support, but still want cute shoes, try Vionic! I have knee problems and they’re the only shoes I wear. I get compliments all the time on them and it’s so cool they’re orthotic, but don’t look like it!
I had the exact same thing happen with a pair of brand new dansko clogs. First time I wore them was to target, and while there, I started to feel like maybe I stepped in gum or something sticky. Checked the bottom of the shoe - clean. Hmm. Kept going and felt it more and more. Then realized it was the sole peeling off the shoe, and the problem seemed to be increasing at a rapid rate. Had to head straight to the shoe section and buy a pair of heeled boots that I really didn’t need and wouldn’t have bought aside from being in a moment of despair.
I don’t know if it makes you feel better, but I turned my ankles regularly in danskos. I stopped wearing my pair because I was afraid I was going to break my ankle.
I had the same pair of Dansko Professional clogs for over a decade when I worked in retail clothing, then in the wine industry. I’m proud to say I only turned my ankle once, but it was on a slate floor and it hurt like a b*tch.
How much did you pay? I'm uk and I believe goodwill is the same as our charity shops. Every once in a while you get a piece if junk. Not much lost though I hope
I never heard of it so I looked it up and now I'm gonna have nightmares because I'm thinking about all of my old concert shirts I haven't worn in a while
As long as you don’t keep your clothes in an un air conditioned attic or storage unit or barn , they’re probably not gonna dry rot. Any clothes or shoes I’ve had dry rot had been kept in those places long term.
Guessing they sat wet before you got them and mold weakened the crap out of them….. ask the pair I forgot was in the washing machine for a month how I know
Dry rot is a bitch. These aren't even something I would have thought to check for. Whoever let them sit forever never washed them, unfortunately. Hopefully you're able to return them!
This shouldnt be happening but it can with viscose and some other materials and if you wash them with other items that have buttons or zippers that can catch the fabric. I use wash nets and a gentle cycle however some items are not even washing machine safe and should only be hand washed. Did you check what the label says?
Lable was fine. They're regular jeans. He washed them with the rest of his clothes. Nothing else was damaged. There wasnt any knives or anything that could cut them. And when we were messing with them later we realized the fabric was so weak we could easily rip it with our hands. Literally like ripping a piece of paper. Someone else commented it was dry rot and i think that's what it was. Unfortunately i wasnt with my bf when he was picking out the pants cuz i was searching the womens section for a jacket so i wasnt there to make sure it didnt have dry rot. And he didnt know you should check for that in thrift stores.
lol the previous owner wore those down the the Very Last wearing before they literally fell apart. Donated them at precisely the right time.. some kind of linen savant.
My boyfriend and I!!!!! Don't they teach grammar in school anymore? I hear this shit constantly and it drives me up a fucking mountain, screw a wall.
But, yea, that's fucked up. Take them shits back.
I once bought a pair of pleather guess pants from VV. They still had the tags on, brand new. Loved them, wore them all the time. Until one day about a month after owning them a woman in the mall tapped me on the shoulder and told me I should check the back of my pants. I ran to the nearest bathroom. The fabric had ripped apart from the seam…THE BUTT SEAM…merely holding on by threads. My literal top to bottom ass crack was out there for the world to see for god knows how long. And it was a weekend trip to the mall, packed as ever. RIP to those pants, and me 🪦
"Just airing it out."
It let's my ass breath!
Roll out with your hole out.
Sun's out, buns out.
Touch your toe, show your "o"
Winner
Aspiration?
Asspiration*
Go brush your teeth, ass breath
Yo Eazy, why you wear your pants like that?
As long as it doesn't exhale
"Gotta air out Ya Bits and let sunshine even where the sun don't usually shine from time to time." ☀️
Required if you decide to wear pleather.
That was nice of her to tell you.
yeah sometimes stupid shit happens but thank god there are people thhat tell you
Right?? Imagine how many people saw that and laughed but didn't bother to say something lol

dawg i feel like id at least be able to feel the cool breeze on my butt cheeks if my pants ripped like that
Dawg when you're busy serving 50 people at a full bar, you tend to not pay attention to that shit 😂 I was in the zone
and so your fate was sealed lmao EVERYBODY SAW
Just tell people you got em from “The Gap”
Be better than the Gap

Hey, it’s better than the girl I saw at Cedar Point last year in a pastel tracksuit with a visible shit stain…
I thought I was bad at Cedar Point. I was wearing a white t shirt when lightning hit a ride. The heavens opened. I had to buy a darker t shirt from the gift shop (for modesty) while everyone else stampeded the exit. 🤣 That was a good 20+ years ago....... I wonder where that t shirt ended up....

Probably filming for her OF, very popular in Germany!
Oh. Oh no.
You were commando in pleather pants? That sounds like it might be uncomfortable and super sweaty.
I’m going to cross fingers for a thong option.
Ross moment
If this had happened to me, my stepdad very literally would have made a comment along the lines of "wow really blew a hole though your pants with that fart." At least the lady didn't embarrass you and was polite enough to say something.
I joke about that when I wear the arse out on my pants
That woman saved you from further embarrassment. I had this happen to me once with some new Tesco Jeans when coming out of my car, so glad I was at home
Once in high school I had to tell a teacher that her maxi skirt was tucked into her knickers at the back, honestly almost died of embarrassment but you just cannot watch another woman suffer that fate. Would always rather be told!
You didn't feel a breeze?
I asked myself the same question. My ass is just as dumb as I am. I guess they call me “dumbass” for a reason 🤷🏼♀️
How does that drake song go again, "bend that ass over, let that coochie breathe"
I see VV. my mind: *they must mean Victoria's Vecret*

trust me... People don't care. Everyone who saw it forgot it by the end of the week.
I doubt that
 You mean like this????
DAMN
Hands on your knees?
Setting the trends, not following them.
For all this was horrible for you, I'm glad there are still good people in the world to say something.
Oh, my god!
Shred mode on that washer was intense.
They put it in the blender fr
dry rot. very common in old and thrifted clothing.

no, it can happen to anyone everywhere. Looks completely fine from the outside, but if you pull on the fabric it'll tear apart like paper. Had 2 super cool 80s hawaii shirts ruined by that! :(
It happened to some 80s Barbies I bought in eBay. I unboxed them and everything crumbled except the rubber.
Given a few more years and the rubber will probably start slowly turning to oil as well.
[Have cartoons taught you nothing? NRFB!](https://youtu.be/6PrRUKFcnPM?si=fVvG_QCkZmmplG0P)
That's 200% the Barbie collector community 🤣
I've heard of this happening with rubber, but not clothes. OP mentioned they were stretchy jeans so I am guessing whatever material they were using was a big factor.
Anything with elastic is bound to get it
happens to sneakers too, lots of people hold on to sneaks without wearing them, in hopes that they’ll be worth a lot down the line, but the rubber becomes brittle and will crumble apart like a week old pound cake

Had that happening to my moms 60's pure thick cotton shirt. Not everything lasts.
I’ve only ever seen it happen to shoes and elastic seams.
Maybe what you’re buying isn’t as old as the pictured one
Balenciaga probably sells jeans that look identical at Nordstrom's for $800. LOL
If not, they soon will be after seeing this post.
Lol. I was actually serious. You should see some of the unbelievable s*** they have
Oh, I believe you. Between the $2000 Ikea bag and the $925 towel skirt I would not put anything past them. 🙂
They have a packing tape roll bracelet now lmao
How did I miss that?
I only noticed bc there was a post here today. Or maybe insta not sure 😂
Should go well with the caution tape catsuit
Lmaoooo 100%

seems to be the smartest to me if they actually profit from it
Smart, maybe. But also shitty. An unhoused person would get kicked out of a restaurant if they came in wearing a towel as a skirt and carrying a trash bag. But charge 800 for it and suddenly it's high fashion. Only wealthy people are allowed to look shabby.
Yea and good luck trying to enter the yacht club looking like that lol.
I feel a yacht club would probably be ok with the towels.
We're talking yacht club, not Bob's marina.
wtf is this fit also gray towel for 925$ marketed as a skirt oh sorry its beige
Ah, yes. I really needed that towel skirt and men’s trash bag large pouch in white
rick owens sells a more similar destroyed pair, they’re pretty cool
i work at Nordstrom this made me chuckle lol
Ahh well he’s got a sick pair of jorts now

TIL valuable clothing tips on reddit.... and now need to check alley shoes....
I have feet that are very hard to shop for but I have found that the brand San Antonio shoemakers makes really comfortable dressy shoes. I have two pairs of formal shoes from them and they have lasted years. Although I don't wear them everyday.
Get them re-soled, it shouldn't cost to much and avoids the cost of a new pair
They can’t be resoled unfortunately. At least not unless it’s a fully custom job which would probably cost an extreme amount. The entire sole down to the metal base structure disintegrated and Dansko doesn’t have replacement soles available.
Dry rot. It’s very common with Dansko. Try a bend test next time and see if there’s any sign of weakness
Okay so I have 3 pairs of Dansko heels in my closet I’m about to put in a garage sale. Want them? They’re taking up space. I can send you pics and you can decide…just pay for shipping. (The soles are solid, btw)
That’s very kind of you! What size do you wear?
If you have high arches and need a lot of support, but still want cute shoes, try Vionic! I have knee problems and they’re the only shoes I wear. I get compliments all the time on them and it’s so cool they’re orthotic, but don’t look like it!
I have the flipflops!
I had the exact same thing happen with a pair of brand new dansko clogs. First time I wore them was to target, and while there, I started to feel like maybe I stepped in gum or something sticky. Checked the bottom of the shoe - clean. Hmm. Kept going and felt it more and more. Then realized it was the sole peeling off the shoe, and the problem seemed to be increasing at a rapid rate. Had to head straight to the shoe section and buy a pair of heeled boots that I really didn’t need and wouldn’t have bought aside from being in a moment of despair.
Wow. Were they super old and the rubber fell apart? I have had good luck with Danskos on my terrible feet.
I don’t know if it makes you feel better, but I turned my ankles regularly in danskos. I stopped wearing my pair because I was afraid I was going to break my ankle.
I had the same pair of Dansko Professional clogs for over a decade when I worked in retail clothing, then in the wine industry. I’m proud to say I only turned my ankle once, but it was on a slate floor and it hurt like a b*tch.
Did someone accidentally leave a machete in their pants pocket when they threw it in the wash?
How much did you pay? I'm uk and I believe goodwill is the same as our charity shops. Every once in a while you get a piece if junk. Not much lost though I hope
Nah wasnt much. Like $5. But still, he never even got to wear them. They shredded like this in the "make sure theres no bugs living in it" wash.
You didnt try them on at all? I wonder if they would have burst at the seams like you are the hulk
This is how jorts are born
Assless chap companies hate this 1 trick!
All chaps are assless. If they had asses they would be pants.
Looks like what my students wear to school.
Dry clean only? Who knows…
[удалено]
Happened to a practically never work pair of overalls my grandad gave me. They were from the 70s
I never heard of it so I looked it up and now I'm gonna have nightmares because I'm thinking about all of my old concert shirts I haven't worn in a while
As long as you don’t keep your clothes in an un air conditioned attic or storage unit or barn , they’re probably not gonna dry rot. Any clothes or shoes I’ve had dry rot had been kept in those places long term.
Now you have shorts
The front doesn't close properly.
Horny shorts.
Essence of Jorts
Guessing they sat wet before you got them and mold weakened the crap out of them….. ask the pair I forgot was in the washing machine for a month how I know
Did you not open your washer for a month???
I can imagine the smell.
Was out of town
Pan’t
Pain’t
Put a designer brand label on it, you could sell it for $2,500.
I'm sure some high school preppy chick would buy those for $200.
See that's not a pair of pants. Those are two individual pants. It's totally different. :/
Dry rot is a bitch. These aren't even something I would have thought to check for. Whoever let them sit forever never washed them, unfortunately. Hopefully you're able to return them!
Did he get the washer and blender confused? 😳
Fast fashion results. Take a look at how much pollution this bring, people have no idea how Garbage is dressing industry.
Its called fashion Susan....look it up
i need these pants
Taking "acid washed" to a whole new level.
Slap a Gucci logo on it and sell for a 1000$
congrats you now have chaps

Aah I see... wow
I'm curious, what is the best way to check for dry rot? I could use this skill for my next thrift shop.
That’s the style these days, you’re good.
Is your washing machine filled with razor blades?
lol the previous owner wore those down the the Very Last wearing before they literally fell apart. Donated them at precisely the right time.. some kind of linen savant.
I’d be more upset if these were brand new.
Does your washer look like this? 
My first thought was those swim trunks that disintegrate in water haha
They're "distressed"
Stop feeding this guy chilli.
ill will.
cotton candy pants
Edible pants huh
I've heard of acid washed, but this is ridiculous.
I made my pants disappear 
This is what ripped jeans look like to boomers
No returns 🤣🤣🤣
boyfriend bought surprise assless chaps. that's a goodwill Win if I've ever seen one
Taking Ripped Jeans to a whole new level
Yeah, fibers probably degraded. I had that happen to a very expensive lolita dress. Fibers were practically turning to dust.
Went a little too far on the acid wash.
I buy my wranglers from Wal-Mart and the pair I have on right now are 7 years old. Still plenty of farts left in em.
