  1. Is the wedgie effect more common with certain cuts --  i.e. 55, 66, etc --  or is this also relative to body type & brand? Can this potential issue be identified when first trying on the unsoaked denim or does this occur after a soak + regular wear?

     

    The wedgie issue will be evident upon trying on the jeans and will not disappear post-soak and with regular wear ... don't count on up-sizing or down-sizing either to address the problem ... all of this, from personal experience.

    It's got to do with one's backside and the shape of the back-rise seam that is common with all repro cuts.  

    The good news is that if you have no issues with the Levi's cuts, then you're likely never to encounter the dreaded wedgie!  The same good news if you have a non-prominent backside as echoed by Cold Summer.

  2. I've owned the 3005 and F380 (similar to 3009) ... despite buying a couple of sizes of each pair, I couldn't avoid the dreaded wedgie displayed in the left-most picture ... I love the 3xxx series denim but the retro anti-fit seats does not work with me.

     

    Ronin ... make sure the seat works for your anatomy.
