Howdy all!
Nearing 100 wears on my 21 oz 634’s. Been noticing a lot of this streaky fading in the back of the crotch. Not sure if this means they are too snug (the thighs and top block are quite roomy) or if this is just a result of how the fabric bunches when walking/sitting/etc.
Any reason to be worried?

I don't see anything that causes concern. All of mine get that to various degree. Is just friction when sitting or maybe swearing and friction. Structurally I dont see anything bad

Sweating i mean to say.

@yannis appreciate the input! Unfortunately somebody had commented on my fade pictures and planted a seed of doubt in my mind. Saying that from the pictures (of just the pants flat) they seem “too small in the top block” when really I find the top block roomier than my 14 oz 634’s or my 19 oz Samurai jeans. I think it’s just the way the fabric folds around my thighs with certain movements and positions. The curse of thick thighs— the waist first perfectly, but for a straight cut they look slim on my frame haha.
Thank you again for weighing in 🫶

@Alex thanks!

@hellohello The person who told you that knows zippo. Some people physiology means that the thighs rub together when walking, it is the denim rubbing against itself which which causes those fades. It is exacerbated with thicker denims. I have puny thighs, does not happen to my jeans....

Been wearing these pretty hard the past year with a couple of breaks in between. 7 washes so far, was trying to go for something in between a vintage fade and high contrast. Going to be retiring these for now as I’m working on IH-888-XHSib.
