I scooped the rear curve on my most recent pair of jeans and it resolved quite a few of my wrinkles, although new, different ones formed after a couple of days' wear. I think these look great!

I have seen a leggings pattern with curves for knees and calves, which makes sense really.katherine hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17314030133556269765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351864927910092883.post-58251621853732226982016-06-09T07:26:06.164-07:002016-06-09T07:26:06.164-07:00Another reason pants (in general) wrinkle behind t...Another reason pants (in general) wrinkle behind the knee is because the fabric is often cut to the same length for the front and the back. At the same time, the normal movement of an actual human leg causes a need for more length in the front, but less length in the back. So, excess fabric at the back of the knee or top of the thigh tends to bunch up or wrinkle. This is something I've thought about, and I once looked at some drawings of very old semi-fitted men's pants and the pant legs look like they are actually cut like an S curve front to back. I suspect that length is taken out of the back of the knee (mid-point of the S curve) and the front is eased onto that part. It is similar to cutting the back inseam of the leg a bit short at the top and easing/stretching it onto the longer front seam at the crotch. So, a solution might be to remove a little length at the back of the knee, which is something I have thought about but haven't done yet. Don't know if you would want to go to all this trouble for jeans, but there it is!
