Wore these this morning - perfect.

Just looked down - ripped. In front. Faux leather. Not fixable. Not patching them up. Don’t know how it happened.

WHAT A SHAME. Only two years old and I wear them a lot

ETA: Update:

Just ordered these - similar:

So sorry about this. Unfortunately, I find that it happens relatively often with faux leather. At least you had a lot of fun with them.

Ugh very frustrating, I have seen a lot of faux leather this year in retail but none in that gorgeous orange.

Oh, no! Those were real favourites for you. Do they still have them in that colour at retail?

The first time I washed* my hunter green faux leather pants, I closed my eyes and said a prayer! Theybcame out just fine and looked ‘brand new’.

Sorry yours got damaged. Such a great colour.

* cold water, delicate cycle with some towels.

How sad!

I know you said you don’t want to patch them up and I totally respect that, but if you change your mind (or if anyone else has a similar issue and wants to attempt repair), I’ve had really good luck with this kit on my leather chair.

You can mix your own colors and small repairs are virtually invisible.

How disappointing!! I have the exact same pair of pants and wear mine a lot too. Now I'm a bit worried. Interestingly, I had to have the snap bar closure repaired after only a handful of wearings because it was literally hanging on by a thread.

Angie, I was hanging my head low because I didn’t have a permanent comedian badge yet. You are number 50

What a shame, such a great color too. If you had them cropped above the hole they would probably be at an odd length. Capris or shorts perhaps?

Thanks, everyone!

Tanya, really! Good to know. My faux leather jackets are indestructible it seems

Nikki, Hope you get one soon!

Jenn, I'd have tried the repair kit option if the tear was not front and centre. Thanks for the suggestion!

Oh no! What a bummer. I got the similar pair in olive but have only worn them a couple of times. Just not enough occasions for me to wear them. I hope the new ones are the perfect replacement!
