Only 52 wears is pretty disappointing!
I turned some old jeans into riding shorts when they developed holes in the knees. Cutting the legs meant I had some extra fabric to make a patch to prevent the inevitable crotch hole. If you put a patch on before the original fabric thins, then you have a sacrificial wear patch that you can keep replacing. The patch I made was a rectangular strip and is hard to see when the shorts are being worn.
