          Their post has gotten me goods, but I can't speak to the reverse, and tracking didn't work.

          Think it, be it.

                      talking about tapered denim:

                      now as you all might know, my MBB's got tapered a bit!
                      now since starting to put some real wear into them, they o/course evolve…traintracks are about to form and become visible etc.!

                      the "problem":
                      since keeping the original selvage ID, the tracks would look like some sort of funnel (normal width at the top, bigger/wider spread at the hem) with a few more days/weeks of wear...not really into that tbh.!

                      the (possible) solution:
                      am I able to cut them down to the original width, burn the cropped edges and be good!? :-\

                          Of course you can't.  Cotton does not melt like polyester or nylon.

                                  Well, since presumably you don't have a time machine, why not trim it even and leave he edges unfinished?  So they fray, big whoop, they're not visible. I think the tracks would just sort of dissipate towards the fray maybe?

                                  Think it, be it.

                                        I think he tapered on the inseam so that the outseam selvedge detail looks the same, which means the excess fabric on the inseam gets wider as you approach the hem.  So, the wear created by the relief of this excess fabric isn't uniform, parallel "train track" fades, and instead sort of funnels wider towards the hem.

                                        Whoever tapered them should have handled this IMO…

                                        Think it, be it.

                                          You shouldn't mess with it any more, Finn.  Just accept that the fading is going to reflect the alteration.  If you trim the excess denim, you'll have to do an overlock (I think that's the right term) stitch to keep the denim from fraying and possibly allowing the seam stitch to work its way out.  And I suspect doing that means you're going to have to take out the seam to work on the fabric, then resew it.  I think that's way more work than it's worth, but then you're the one that has to live with them.
