Most definitly not. My friend used a brooks and his Jeans wore out exactly the same. We actually talked about this issue two weeks ago. He told me his problem stopped when he stopped using his Brooks.
Well, that is strange. Nonetheless, I agree with dynodonn. A hard and smooth saddle, especially a hard leather one, should have far less friction and should therefore be much less destructive to your trousers. I can't imagine what your friend was doing wrong. I use a hard leather saddle and ride in my work clothes (I work in an office) about 20 miles each day, and my pants don't wear out that fast. I mean yes, they do eventually wear out in the seat, but by then they're usually pretty much used up anyway.
