Why does the jeans break always in the same manner, first the vertical fibers, then the horizontal? 740 viewsNovember 30, -0001 0 Question83.52K May 21, 2019 3 Comments Why does the jeans break always in the same manner, first the vertical fibers, then the horizontal? In: Other red--6- commented May 21, 2019 The vertical fibres are under more stress more often (eg – especially at the front bend of the knee) After the first vertical fibres fray and break, this adds more load onto the other ones, so they break more easily. And this finally exposes the horizontal threads. So they’ll start breaking too, eventually.
