when jem tells scout about getting his trouser back, he tells her something strange. What is this?

He had the trousers returned mysteriously mended and folded.

Jem tells Scout that he found his pants neatly folded and left hanging over the fence, and that someone had also attempted to mend them. He said that it wasn't like a woman's job of mending, but rather like a man's- uneven stitching, but at least the hole was closed.
