English term or phrase: knee break
Hi all!

I am not sure about the real meaning of knee break. The text is describing the measures of a pair of jeans. More context: 7" knee break

Thank you so much for your help :)

rodillera


Explanation:
Supongo que se refiere a la rodillera. La definición de la Rae (entre otras) es ésta:

Convexidad que llega a formar el pantalón en la parte que cae sobre la rodilla.
