    Yep, I couldn't agree with you more @Streetwise Hercules  - totally unreliable/inaccurate.  I'd only had a few bottles glasses of prosecco before mowing the lawn…  😉

              No, it is really, really involved and complex, so therefore really, really expensive….

                As I've worn my 666s-142 more recently and washed them for the first time I've noticed a horizontal crease going across one of the thighs. At first I thought it was a crease from washing but after soaking the thigh and even trying to iron it out it hasn't gone away. This line is visible on both sides and you can feel it on the weft side.

                Any idea what this is? I've never seen anything like it.

                  It looks like a crease from washing.  It’s happened to me before even when machine washing on the gentle cycle and no spin.  It should become less noticeable with wear.

                  How did you wash them?

                    It looks like an "imperfection" in the denim.  The loom probably had some sort of hiccup.  With the old shuttle looms that sort of thing happens e.g. a warp breaks, the loom has to be stopped to mend the warp and when restarted the loom takes a little time to get up to full speed.  I can't tell how bad it is from the photo, it may have been missed at QC or it was felt that it was OK to pass.  Does it bother you?

                      Coincidentally I just saw that someone posted a pair of Rogue Territory jeans on Reddit with a similar but more severe defect.

                      If it's going to look like this down the road it will definitely bug me. From your experience if you think it will look more or less normal down the road I can live with it. It's interesting that it took about a month of wear for me to notice it, because to be honest I like to look at my jeans every day and observe how they evolve.

                        I do not think they will look like the RGT's, that is def something we would have kicked out in QC.  Can you feel any difference in the fabric if you brush over it with you fingers?

                          Yes. More so on the weft side but on it can be felt on the deepest part of the line on the warp side.

                            You'll likely get some sort of uneven fade there with time if the face of the fabric is higher or lower in that place that on the rest of the denim…

                              That's what I figured. Guess I'll find out soon enough.

                                I can’t remember…. so I’ll ask here 😃

                                Is the 25oz IB coming in other cuts? 777....I think I remember seeing that.

                                Planning my fall

                                        I feel I ought to know the answer to my own question but I don’t even after 3 and a half years after buying my first IH pair of jeans. So, for the forum members more observant and smarter than I…

                                        Which IH cut is most similar to the Self Edge 633 cut?

                                        The slight differences in how IHUK and SE measure jeans adds to my confusion as even a slight 0.2 inch difference in thigh width means a whole lot in the comfort department. At this point I’m thinking that the three “closest” cuts to the 633 are 666, 777 and 888. With the main differences between them being: 666 is narrower at the thigh; 777 is more strongly tapered from the thigh all the way down to the hem; and 888 having a higher rise. I’m only drawing these conclusion based on owning one pair of 666 and one pair of 888…and also a single pair of 633. So not based on much, really.

                                        As I’ve noted before, so far my most comfortable cut is the 633 but I want to get the most similar IH proprietary cut firmly figured out. Nailing this will give me quite a few more fabric options, especially urgent in light of the recently announced incoming ones. Therefore, telling me to stick to the 633 won’t be enough guys.

                                        The journey is the objective.

                                          As far as I know, 633 is just a tapered 634. The rise and thigh measurements certainly bear the most resemblance between those two.
