Jem is forced to leave his pants in the Radley's yard in Chapter 6. He, Dill, and Scout had entered the Radley's yard and had attempted to look in the house's windows. When they subsequently heard a shotgun blast (we later find out this is Nathan Radley, defending his home from a raccoon or possible intruder), they ran from the property. Jem's pants snagged on the fence and he was forced to leave the ripped clothing.
Jem quickly realizes that he will need to retrieve his pants, and he makes a plan to do so that evening. While the reader does not find this out right away, we later learn (when Jem reveals it to Scout) that Jem finds his pants completely mended and folded on the Radley's fence.
