this is the second pair of jeans that get worn down on a specific spot on my right thigh because my messenger bag keeps rubbing against it when i walk

how do i solve this

@squirrel if you've got an old pair of worn out jeans that're the same colour you could cut a patch out of them and sew it on to the bit that gets worn down on the newer ones

@troubleMoney i don't.. but like while patching the jeans is something i will have to do eventually, that doesn't stop it from happening again

@squirrel yeah, it's more of a stopgap measure really...

Is it a particularly scratchy spot on the messenger bag that's doing it?

@troubleMoney not really, just the regular fabric on the back

@squirrel hm, can't really think of any bright ideas to stop that happening I'm afraid

@troubleMoney it's ok <3 thank you

@squirrel I mean, the standard way of reducing friction damage on clothing is putting leather patches on it where it would rub, that's why some tweed jackets have elbow patches, but that probably wouldn't look great on jeans
