      No hate on those who do but it’s not my thing to cuff. I prefer mine to be hemmed so that they don’t drag along the ground when bare foot.
      I have destroyed many a good pair over the years by wearing them too long

      I might not be the sharpest tool in the shed
      but a hammer always works best when it’s blunt and dull.

        I hardly ever cuff mine anymore. I somehow prefer to wear them without.

          @Karol I used to hem & cuff but now I just fold & go - just like Charlie Hunter, cool clip!

              Hem for me…
              I do have a cuff on my bibs…but I still think I may end up hemming them at some point.

              In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

                I hem them so there is zero stacking with a 1.25”/3mm cuff. Just a tiny bit of cuff to keep the the indigo warp off my shoes and minimize indigo transfer. Then when I want to dress it up a bit, I can uncuff and it still looks tailored.

                      I get them hemmed to the right length, end of.....

                      How do you define and measure the right length @Giles?

                      I struggle with a consistent method of measuring. I like a quarter break in the leg if possible.

                        I prefer them cuffed, a Tokyo cuff generally.

                          @Go-For-Chill this is pretty much where I’ve landed. Long enough for a single cuff if I feel like it, but not too long to wear without.
