That back seam looks cute but of course needs to be tested for comfort. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-of-knee-seam-on-jeans#post-1092957 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 10:39:57 +0000 andis 1092957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Test them in your house and check for comfort.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-of-knee-seam-on-jeans#post-1092251 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 20:23:38 +0000 Diana 1092251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone.&nbsp; I'll definitely try wearing them around the house for a while.&nbsp; The funny thing is I didn't notice the seam on the <i>smaller</i> size (that I sent back because I could only zip them by laying flat on my back!), but maybe the seam was a little higher on those or something. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-of-knee-seam-on-jeans#post-1092103 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 18:20:09 +0000 rae 1092103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, those are some coooool jeans! I would try them if my size were still there. But I hear you about comfort... test drive around the house? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-of-knee-seam-on-jeans#post-1091997 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 17:16:13 +0000 K. Period. 1091997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm. &nbsp;I have those exact jeans and have worn them non-stop since NAS. The back seam never bothered me. I've never noticed it in wearing, only in viewing. &nbsp;I'm not sure what that should mean to you. I guess I'm in the "wear it it around the house for a while" camp, then if it bugs you, I think they need to go back. &nbsp;(BTW, don't you love that they are cut higher in the back than front so that you get the back coverage but not too much height in the front?)&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-of-knee-seam-on-jeans#post-1091878 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 15:47:19 +0000 Angie 1091878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That would drive me crazy too.

I think I'll wear them around the house for an while to see if I get used to them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-of-knee-seam-on-jeans#post-1091455 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 06:53:22 +0000 ElleH 1091455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It does soften up as these jeans stretch out a lot but not good for squatting in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-of-knee-seam-on-jeans#post-1091444 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 06:27:48 +0000 Aziraphale 1091444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you're noticing it now, you might not get used to it. I'd proceed with caution. </p> <p>They're neat-o jeans, though, if you decide to go for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-of-knee-seam-on-jeans#post-1091320 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 03:23:48 +0000 Parsley 1091320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have those same jeans as well as an olive pair in the same style&nbsp;and I haven't found the back seam to be uncomfortable at all. Mine fit a little bit loose in the legs, so I don't know whether that makes a difference or not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-of-knee-seam-on-jeans#post-1091305 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 03:12:32 +0000 Diana 1091305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I've just gotten these Vince welt pocket&nbsp;skinnies from Nordstrom as a potential replacement for my much beloved but literally falling apart old Vince skinnies.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vince-welt-pocket-skinny-stretch-jeans-dirty-vintage/3505991">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vi.....ge/3505991</a></p> <p>The fit is good (although it's 2 sizes up from my old pair!), and they are that same lovely soft but not overly stretchy denim as my old pair. &nbsp;The welt pockets are surprisingly hip-minimizing and very flattering.&nbsp; However, they have this horizontal moto-style seam at the back of the knee. &nbsp;It hits me slightly below where it hits on the model, so pretty much right at the bend.&nbsp;&nbsp;I like the way it looks, but right now I can feel it pressing into the back of my knee, especially when I bend it. &nbsp;I'm worried that it'll be annoying.&nbsp;</p> <p>So, owners of these or similar knee-seamed jeans - does the knee seam soften up or get less noticeable with wear? &nbsp;Will I get used to it? &nbsp; </p>
