Zoot CompressRX Shorts : Shocking Quality

I was all excited about my Zoot shorts and it felt great yesterday on my 10km run. Had it washed by hand, as I do all my other running/cycling stuff and what came out was shocking. Only after one time of use!!! Made in Canada??? You sure??? Frayed sewings!! I'm afraid to even pull/cut it!!! This is on the left thigh area. I do not know what to call this part. Pulling on the frayed thread seems to just un-sew everything! Everything looks to be 'ok' on the right side though So I am devastated. I was about to order more from CRC as they have 10% promotion this weekend but this is definitely a deal killer for me. I only chose Zoot over 2XU or SKINS due to recommendation from some running friends...I'm so unlucky! I'm not sure if I can still use this thing without further destroying by the 3rd or 4th run. The compression is not bad and the material seems to be of good quality but I was aghast at the sewing quality. I have had various cycling short...
