Jeans - Fit for purpose?

Heya
I bought some jeans online a few weeks ago and have worn them 4 or 5 times. The other day they ripped near the crotch (like, the denim at the inner fly seam has torn all the way up) making them un wearable and impossible to reasonably mend.

i have read somewhere that they are supposed to last for a reasonable amount of time and i didn't do anything to rip them apart from unbutton the fly in the ususal manner.

Is there anything I can do about this or do I have to write them off as a bad job?

Thanks very much in advance,
Tink

    ooh ok, do you mean email the online shop or go into one of the concession sections of the brand (firetrap) in House of Fraser or something?

    Email the online shop, your "beef" is with them, not the manufacturer...
    If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands
