Jem's torn pants symbolize his loss of innocence and the harsh realities of life as he grows up. It also serves as a moment of realization for Scout as she begins to understand the complexities of human nature and society. Additionally, the incident with Jem's pants leads to important discussions about morality, empathy, and standing up for what is right.

Jem finds that his pants are sewn together where he had ripped them tryin toget away. They are poorly sewn indicating that a man or an inexperienced sewer has mended them.
He found that they had been neatly folded and poorly sewn back together. This may have indicated that Boo may have sewn them together.
Jem finds that his pants were hung across the Radley fence and sewn messily back together. It was as if someone expected him to return.

When he goes to retrieve his pants that got torn in a fence when escaping from the Radley place, he finds them crudely sewed and patched up on the fence, like someone was waiting for him to come back and get them.

jem was upset about the condition of his pants because it was like someone had read his mind and knew that he was going to go back for them.
