Wanted: Do suede concors damage your jeans?

I was considering buying the san marco suede concor recently but was told by a friend that it has a bad effect on your jeans and wears them down badly. Has anyone had experience of this? Is it true?

Are you selling these skid marked jeans, or looking to buy some?

jeans should be bike friendly, not the other way around

I have had some discolouration on my jeans. Then when I rode my saddle with a pair of beige chinos they went blue. Apart from discolouration, there seems to be no other issues.

No, they're wrong.
I ride a suede rolls and my jeans have lasted.

Whatever saddle you ride on it will eventually wear through your jeans. fact

I bought a suede Concor but had to stop using it on my commuting bike after a couple of weeks as it was starting to knacker the seat of my Swrve WWR trousers. However they're synthetic. I find jeans tend to discolour/wear out if you ride a lot in them anyway, tho I don't buy particularly expensive ones.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
