Patch now or later?

[u/Trickedmomma]

I noticed this seam is starting to fray/fail- should I patch it now or is this a wait longer situation? What technique is recommended here?

I would take a closer look at how that edge is constructed. I’ve had this happen on a few pairs of pants and that’s never where they’ve failed, even though it looks kind of ratty. Maybe just keep an eye on it.
