Received answer from Sterling Langrell. Thinks it is a manufacturing defect. Sending another set out. Score 1 for Vans customer service.

I like about a thumb's width. Of course, it depends on the size of your thumb....

I used the same "rule of thumb" giving a final edge distance of 3/4" which seemed like a lot, but then it's nicer to have the space when things get jammed up in there over time.

New pants!
Just received replacements. WAY more rigid. Now I can open the clearance up to "1 Thumb" per Paul's suggestion
