Honeycombs?!?!

I sacrilegiously starched my 5ep (lap and behind knees) for no other reason than I wanted to see what the results would be like. After sitting at my pc for about 1/2hr (still damp) I got up to see some really tiny, intricate honeycombs. I took off my jeans immediately and laid them flat hoping the creases wouldn't set that way - they didnt, thank God.

I am not a fan of the very web like honeycombs. I like the natural, bigger creases a lot better.

What about you guys?

To each their own, I'm just all about the wear on my jeans being personal and part of the journey, not specifically made one way or the other. I mean, if the I get the apparition of the Virgin Mary worn in somehow in the honeycombs, so be it.

I like the honeycombs I get from starching. I don't know what you mean by small intricate ones. Do you mean like the ones the skin-tight jeans get?

Though they aren't man-tights, my 5ep jeans do fit slim, so yeah I guess those are the honeycombs I am talking about.

I prefer tighter creases than spaced out.
