Hm, that will give possibly a very interesting fade look. So what do you do when you wear no shoes? I mean the material will be always in your way. There are at least 10cm too much. Then, when you have worn it to pulp, as you put it, you have to correct length at the worn through part of the leg with fraying and all (got that on my favorite pair of Levi 529 because I made the cuff too long). I'd have to cut the jeans off at that level or wear them with a torn cuff. Result, I hardly wear them anymore, which also has something to do with IH being in the house now.

Well, nothing wrong with having Beatle as a style icon, of course. I just don't get the sense of it. My anthropologically and aesthetically curious mind wonders what's behind that. I mean I can even explain as an art historian why certain people would put up Thomas Kinkade repros or velvet Jesus paintings but I have a hard time seeing the reason for liking such extreme stacks.
In my mind:
One can wear jeans at the normal hemmed length or a little longer (that's how I wear them) because that's how pants are usually worn.
Wear them cuffed (I do that, too, with a cuff up to just under 4") because that is a fashionable look and to show off the selvedge.
Wear them with a good stack especially if they are slim jeans because that's kind of a rock star look.But wear them with a totally exaggerated stack…? Who knows, you might be trendsetters and I just don't frickin get it. Well possible. It's like a chair with six legs. It doesn't look particularly cool or pleasing (different certainly but cool, no). It makes more work (in principle). It is not safer but rather a bit unpractical once you take the shoes off and even to put the pants on.
But, hey, I'm certainly over-analyzing this, as usual.

I have to agree with till on this one, crazy stacks, even if they are considered fun as simon said, are very impractical. I have to admit I left the legs of my sams be 36, but that's just because I was a lazy MFer. I'm like a 31-31.5 tops. I like 34 inseam because it sits nicely on boots when cuffing or a couple of inches stacking when I'm wearing other kicks and totally doesn't look silly beyond belief. Though I wouldn't tell people to hem their jeans because they are too long on a regular basis, 5'6" and below should NOT be wearing 36+ un-hemmed imho. Very similar to how real butterballs should just say no to super skinny jeans; I mean, no one wants to see size 36 5010 skulls. Lol.
