                I prefer uncuffed on my IH's, too. And seul - the length is perfect, I wouldn't cuff. And yeah, beatle's right about the combs.

                        Of course it is personal taste, I'm not arguing, do as you like, no one cares right?  Point is people we are wearing vintage styled clothing made on old vintage machines using traditional methods, following traditional cuts and stitching, why, because it works and we dig that.  And ALL jeans traditionally were worn with cuffs (some say so cowboys later bikers could put their ciggies in the cuff within reach while on horseback/bike) and they would only ever have one turn up so you can see the union stitching and of course the selvage colour, Levis had red, Lee blue and Wrangler green, we IH red.  Turn-ups went through mods, hippies, sharpies, californian skaters, skins, punks, new wave.  Outlaws, bad guys, the common man all wore denim and they ALL wore them turned up.  Wear yours turned down and blend in, you will for sure.  Wear them turned up and instantly stand apart and feel what denim and all that history feels like and what it stands for.  Peace.

                          ^ thats a nice piece of knowledge i gained today…

                          i think whether you cuff is totally based on the shoes you're wearing with.

                            I cuff mine depending on how long they are - simple…....G

                              I hem all my jeans (or Giles does, rather) to a 33.5" inseam, leaving 1.5" for stacking… I just prefer jeans this way, also why I like a slimmer fit (smaller leg opening). I could have my jeans hemmed to a 32" and have them fall 'perfectly' on my shoes but that fit is for squares  😉 😉

                              I still cuff now and then, when I feel like it... Or when I think it looks good, and to keep this on topic, eg. SEXIH01 (original length, ~34.5") with double rolled cuff on top of sneakers...

                                I have jeans I have specifically cuffed, and others that I don't have cuffed

                                One reason is because I have jeans specifically for work. I don't find that cuffed jeans are very professional, that's just my view.

                                The other reason is more practical, I find that if I cuff tapered jeans, I have a hard time getting my boots inside my jeans

                                I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                                  This is easy; Bootcuts, no cuffs, others, cuffs. That's how I wear mine.

                                  (ofcourse there is one/two exceptions, 501's StF's that were originally tagged L32 and my 802's which actually needs cuffing. They were hemmed to 31,5 and they sag too much. My inseam is incredibly short)

                                    For me it depends on the length. ::)

                                      I cuff everything.
                                      Partly because I'm short as hell and don't want to
                                      Drag my jeans its a pieve of mine and when I'm working
                                      it keeps them out of the way
                                      Also its my style
                                      With that said. I don't care how any of us wear our jawns
                                      As long as we wear them in IronHeart Otaku spirit and
