ripped seam
Fabric joining failed
A ripped seam is a tear along a sewn joint in fabric, where stitching has come apart or the material has torn at the stitch line.
Seams are structurally vulnerable points in clothing and upholstery, so rips commonly occur there: The ripped seam under his arm kept getting worse.
The phrase sometimes appears figuratively for any weak point that's given way.
