I have a kelly green pair of shorts that was just barely starting to fray at the buttonhole. This was happening within two years of purchase, which is unusually quickly. Since I caught it unraveling early, I could just re-do the buttonholing with some thick cotton thread and a needle. Looks much better now, and should prevent the buttonhole from tearing out (which certainly would happen if left in this condition!)

A pair of my shorts needed the buttonhole shored up.  It was unraveling.  
It was cleaned up by cutting off loose threads.  Then, mended by hand.
