Is it possible to repair a pair of men's vertically pinstriped dress trousers which have become frayed diagonally at the seat? I have thought of trying to darn and then using iron on vilene stiffener, but do not want the repairs to be visable. Please help. I have no spare matching fabric to use and I need for the repair to stand up to being able to be worn without causing embarassment to the owner of the garment. Not sure it would be possible to darn them without creating unslightly tucks in the fabric?

Buy a new pair. There is no way to repair this type of problem without matching fabric...and then it probably would not match due to many dry cleanings of the trousers. If they are that worn...its time to buy new. Fabrics do fade after dry cleaning...
