dark lines after soak and dry

[superfriend]

I have a pair of Samurai 110xj and just noticed that there are dark blue lines down the sides (inseam and outseam) of the jeans.

Kinda looks like where they would be the folded part if they were lying flat.

I only noticed after I had been wearing them for the past month.

They were soaked twice and hang dried, inside out. Is that what could have caused it?

Is this normal? Did I just cock up the process?

If you look you can see a dark line parallel (mostly) to the seam...this is where the crease was when they were drying. wtf?

Searched the threads extensively here, but couldn't find anything.

i suspect that you're probably worrying too much, although pics of the problem would help.

not a problem, you are probably referring to "traintracking", which is a natural occurrence in all jeans after wear. nothing you did wrong...

it isnt even close to the selvedge line. it is about an inch form the seam. it isnt from wear, it is like the color just didnt leave that area...

hey, i've been thinking about a pair of 110xj's for a while, any chance you could post more pics of the fit?

it might not be directly where the selvage is

but the presence of that selvage seam running down the side

could be creasing the denim around it

not directly above it

as previously stated

its traintracks, enjoy them

as also previously stated

the last thing you want is actual wear

unique to you

on your jeans.

I wouldn't worry about them. Same thing happened to my SDA XS-27 after the soak, but the lines were even further away from the outseam (about 2").

its from hanging them inside out but its no bi deal. when they're wet the indigo run and in your case it ran into the crease making it darker. I have that the exact opposite. I hung mine outside out and I have lines that are lighter. is all good man. everything builds character. I think its cool. most people probably won't even notice.
