If you’d rather ride in 3/4 pants, Portland are having a SALE.

Hi fashionistas
Don’t know if this will help:
If you’re making cutoff jeans, take the bits you’ve cut off:
* * *
|| |
|| \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ |
# o-o-o-\< \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_
|| |
||\_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ |
\_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ _x_ \_ \_ \_ \_
|| x |
|| \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ _x_ \_ \_ \_ \_ |
# o-o-o-\< \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ _x_ \_ \_ \_ \_
|| x |
||\_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ _x_ \_ \_ \_ \_ |
x chop cop
Slice these leggy bits open so they go flat.
Use one as a top tube cover (ha!) or as a top-shelf chain cleaning rag
and sew the other into the arse/crotch of your new cutoffs (on the inside) to help with the wear.
For bonus points, sew a shoe insole in between them. Anti-odour padding!
… or get the russians to do it … or that hong kong tailor who works out of that lane off the south end of Ewing St in Brunswick … or whatever …

I told you they were good. They’re the tailor that both Nudie and Diesel use here in Melbourne for alterations/repairs.
They’re my official Nudie repairer. I think I’ve had my fav pair of Slim Jims that I ride in repaired over 20 times due to ripped crotch or trashed knees from binning it on the way home from the pub loose on the fixie (usually tyring to do madison slings with my mates). They look amazing now.
Good times.

While on the subject …
Day-glo / High visibility pants
any colour you like as long as it’s orange!
Seconds. $5 a pair. Not all sizes available. That’s cheaper than inner tubes.

Yeah, a woman’s cut, but you’re probably wearing them already.

+1. just got my cheap mondays back from them, and they’re nearly as good as new. 2 crotch holes (or, as i like to call them, nut windows) repaired for $35 ain’t bad either.

jeans are good and all but i highly recomend riding in dickies shorts (or pants trusting you dont mind rolling a leg up). comfortable, strong, relible and look good, stain release too, grease comes off in one wash. only sets ya back 80 - 90 depending on where you go.

+1 to putting additionally denim inside the crotch of your jeans. Only sure fire way of delaying wearing through your jeans in that area is to add more material…
even if you don’t shorten your jeans when you get them (as demo’d by the pretty pictures above) any decent tailor should have denim kicking about to make you a ‘saddle’ (technical term)…

reinforcement on the INSIDE is the key, especially for the larger-thighed gent. Most pants that go in the crotch do so not from rubbing against whatever you sit on but from rubbing against your manky crotchal skin.
