Asos - Jeans ripped while trying them on

In that case they are distressed and therefore will have weaknesses in the denim so you should take more car when taking them off as tears may be inevitable. I'm not sure you're going to have much look with this I'm afraid.

I disagree with this.

If a pair of JEANS rip when removing them they are clearly not fit for purpose!

Fair enough if the OP had put their foot through a fashion hole when putting them on, but we are talking about taking jeans OFF.

There not just any old "pair of JEANS", these are a tight pair and as I keep saying have been distressed so by their very nature the fabric is somewhat weaker than a standard pair and if you start pulling them off like the way the OP suggested then you risk opening up these inherent weaknesses.

I did the exact same thing with an old pair of mine last month, they had worn around the bottom where they'd been turned up over the years and when I yanked them off by pulling at the leg I ended up tearing them. Yes mine were quite old so no complaints but a lot of these new jeans have been prematurely aged so you can expect the same things to happen if you're not careful, ie, don't try and pull off a tight pair of jeans as the OP did because any weakness is going to give at some point, try and roll them down and step out of them.

Well I stand corrected...

I live in skinny jeans and would never have thought to roll them down to get them off!!

It would never have occured to me unless it came with an instruction label stating they need to be taken off like this.

Or does wveryone else roll their skinny jeans down bit by bit????

Roll them down, push them down, you know what I meant, it's the way most people would take off their jeans, not just yank them off from the leg.
