Although I purchased a while back for my husband to use as work jeans, he took the tags off only recently to begin using them. All three (3) pairs split out near the zipper (see photo below) in the same location within a couple of wearings. This is obviously a design or manufacturing flaw. Of course now the local Kmart store has gone out of business so hard to return for refund! User's recommendation: Do NOT waste your money! Very poor quality.
