@Soleamp Looks good!

@Giles:

It's a slightly thicker section of weft, that is all.

@Giles Awesome, thanks for clearing that up.

@neph93:

@MrSmith it certainly doesn’t look like a flaw. The weft/warp pattern is consistent and there doesn’t seem to be anything torn, frayed or out of place.

It may be a product of the weaving process, but given the proximity to the hem and the fact that it looks parallel to the hem, I believe it may be a result of the hammering that the leg opening takes prior to chainstitching. This would be entirely normal. Alternatively, if you have cuffed the jeans that would also create such an effect.

Have they been hemmed, and if so, who by? Also, is anything visible on the face of the fabric?

@neph93 I have them cuffed, a decent double cuff (or a big cuff and then another cuff over that, I'm not sure what that is called), so the spot is actually about 6" up the leg.  I haven't worn them yet so it is definitely not from wear.  Also, they have not been hemmed, they are the original length.  There is nothing visible on the face which is why I wasn't sure what this was.

I actually may return these as I was on the fence with this pair anyway (I have other pairs in similar weights).  I was going to go with a pair of XHS during the sale…but I waited too long debating.

Hi everyone, this is my first post and my first pair of Iron Hearts. I was hoping someone could tell me if the circled area in my pic is a flaw or just a weaving inconsistency?
