Replacing the trousers
It's a well-known fact that one of the (myriad) advantages of kilts over pants is that they lack an inseam. Usually this is cited because there's no inseam to chafe and constrict, but there's another advantage.
Kilts can't blow their inseam.
I now have two pair of pants that are ripped in an unfortunate area. I normally get relaxed fit pants, too, so I'm guessing it's partially due to the age of the trousers in question.
The other pair also got a large rip on the backside while working in the forge, do I darned them to use in the shop. But how many shop pants do I really need?
My solution is simple! Every time I loose a pair of pants, I get a kilt to replace it.

Good Idea, but...
Hey I like that idea. I am going to become a forger too, because I know the price of kilts, and can't just go out and buy one. And I know you are a college student with "no Money" so therefore forgers must make lots of money, and can buy lots of kilts!
And you better buy them now before you get married. Seems after you do the money goes elsewhere! haha
DALE.

Glad that you are moving ahead and replacing those dreaded trousers with Kilts.
FWIW I was talking to a 20 something about how much he spends for his jeans. He told me that he feels he gets a bargain if they are between $175-$200. Needless to say he does not shop around and only goes for what is the latest "fashion inequity".

Those $200 jeans are made in the very same Third World sweatshop by the very same Third World seamstresses making the same 75 cents per day as the $25 jeans you can get at Wal-Mart. The only difference is the label they sew on at the end of the process.

My Nopadon just blew out the inseam on yet another pair of pants. I'm getting really tired ot trying to sew those things up. I'm not good at sewing and they look horrible when I'm done. Anyway, I've never regreted getting rid of all my trousers.

I have the same problem in that i have large thighs that rub together which wears holes in the inside of the pant leg. have had to resort to patching the crotch of several pairs of suit pants in order to continue to wear the suit. and adding fabric there just makes matters worse...
if only i could get away with wearing kilts to work but alas no can do here
