In Ch. 6 Jem, Scout, and Dill all sneak into the Radley yard. They see a shadow of a man come at them from inside the house and they get so scared that they run back out of the yard, and Jem loses his pants because they snag on the bottom of the fence.
Later that night he goes back to retrieve them, but it is not until Ch. 7 that we find out the condition of the pants. Apparently, when Jem went back for them they were "sloppily mended" and left on the fence for him.
Soon after, the kids discover a ball of twine in the knothole and we can assume that Boo mended the pants and left the twine.
