Pocket Hole Prevention Ideas

[JohnDF]

I thought I was onto something.

You probably are, since the tight jeans and moderns were in my youth.
Now it's loose Wranglers and Traditionals, and no holes... so your point might be on-the-money.

More planning and less “emergencies”.

And smoke signals and arm waving! My little coming four year old filly has finished her ballet training while gathering.

No service out here anyhoo. She worked the gate on a 250 head sort yesterday and only missed two. The first one was blind so bout any pony was gonna miss that one. Speaking of pockets ya and JohnDF might like this one:

I'm wearing Wranglers and Stetson jeans.The Stetson jeans wear out fast but I don't recall ever wearing out a pocket.

My son wears out jeans bout as fast as anyone. Seems like always on the thigh and knees too. See he's got his Buckaroo Pouch on too. He always does.

Looks like he's with Sacto on what shirt pockets are for!

Anyhoo, the ultimate jeans protector for our line of work:

Cinch jeans tend to be pretty thin material, as far as I can remember.

That is really nice, Dave.
I love designing new projects, keeps things interesting.
Quality craftsmanship as usual. Keep up the excellent work.

I suspect it also has something to do with how tight your jeans are. I wear wranglers and I carry my knife in my left front pocket. I’ll wear my jeans, doing ranch work, until they’re worn out. Typically the thighs are where mine get threadbare. I’ve never had a knife wear a hole in my pocket, or even come close. But I wear my jeans a little loose which I think might help decrease the rubbing. I have had my wallet wear a hole in the back pocket. Probably more rubbing back there from sitting on it.

I most certainly never got into the tight jeans thing. Another factor to consider is how many pairs of pants are in your rotation... I only ever have 2 or 3 that get worn a couple of times a week.

Wear a dress

Other less frivolous suggestions: cary Copperhead knives or those with sunk-joints, if the tangs are sharp (often hideously 'crisp' on GECs), smooth over with a file or rod.

They're called Kilts when men wear them.

Aye!

Kilts are tartan skirts, not dresses

Hope it's working the way you wanted.

CelloDan, I'm late to the party, but here's something. I see the sharp corners on your folder, which must be the cause of your trouble. Way back I would grind a nice radius on those corners using my belt sander, and polish it up nice. Helps with the fabric wear and also the poking. But since Spyderco started, all such problems are gone.
