Frayed parts of some jeans (4)

I believe the answer is:

hems

(Other definitions for hems that I've seen before include "Stitched garment edges for Shem" , "Stitched edges of cloth or garments" , "Fringes" , "Bottom edges turned under and sewn" , "Stitched borders" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
