@fourperf I don’t think there is an answer to hem length and it’s all down to personal preference. Try it and see if you like it. Denim can be repaired (within reason) and the only drawback is the destruction of the hem.

Personally, I don’t mind it.

@goosehd Thanks a lot for your speedy reply!! It was more a concern of how it might affect the progress (or destruction) of the already evolving patina behind the knee. I am assuming the new amount of break will have an impact on that.

@fourperf my thoughts are yes it would change the honeycomb pattern but I don’t think it would cause more damage.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a honeycomb blowout.

@goosehd Thanks very much!! I am going to give it a go.

I don’t think unrolling cuffs will have any influence on what’s going on with the knee of your pants.

Is there a parenting thread yet? As a recent father, it would be good to have a place for hardcore people like yourselves to share stories, wisdom, experience, etc, that us newbies can turn to.

My search-fu is failing me if there is already a thread on that topic, but I’d be grateful to be directed to it if it already exists.

@EdH idk if it’s out there but i would be cool! As a father of 2 i love to talk with other dads.. my eldest daughter recently told me wich IH denim i should wear and choose a UHF for me.. she supports me in a smart way cause when we hit the mall she said: daddy.. i think i need a new jacket just like you

Make one @EdH I can’t recall ever having seen one. I’ll gladly contribute with all kinds of sage wisdom. I’m a pretty awesome dad.

@Kasi you asked me about superblack selvedge jeans recently, perhaps @Jett129 did also... I can't find where though.

Been wearing my 21oz SBGs a bit more lately. When I got them new they had a bit of a fold crease. As I’ve been wearing them there is some light fading/ dust line formation happening vertically. Should I iron that out so it doesn’t make a long ass fade line? Or will that crease diminish with some more wearing of the jeans?

[Matt]

I can’t see how ironing it out would hurt. Go for it.

[goosehd]

@Mizmazzle Turn the jean inside out and iron them that way as it will prevent any scorching and sheen to the outside of the jean if your settings for the iron aren’t correct.

Pro tip from ironing my military uniforms from days gone by.

[Mizmazzle]

Thanks gentleman. I think I’ll do that!

[Mizmazzle]

Worked like a charm!!

Random but wondering…does old denim fade slower than denim that was recently made? Ive been sitting on a pair of og 21oz since 2020 and it got me thinking. Like, does the dye “imbed” more over time?
