      That stuff is so much softer and less abrasive than denim though. Some denims are worse than others too. The XHS is wicked for tearing along cuff creases.

        Yeah he's referring to denims @UnTucked.  Unfortunately he's right, happens to nearly every pair I own.

            It hasn’t happened to this guy^^ apparently  😉 but every pair I’ve cuffed has initiated the “saw off” I no longer cuff.

            Maybe so. Maybe not

              I’ve never cuffed 21oz so that may not be as bad, it is a looser weave after all, and soft.

                Oh it still happens on the 21oz for sure.

                IIRC @UnTucked doesn't wear denim nearly as much as most other members here so his 3 years wont have nearly as many wears as others.  My 21oz started sawing themselves off at about 6-9 months.

                            I always cuff my denim, and as I usually wear boots, I sit the hem of the cuff about 1 inch above the foot. Never had this issue as a result. I also generally only wear hi-top sneakers, so again, issue hasn't affected me…yet

                              Also agree.  Personally, if you cuff there should be minimal to no break.  Having a cuff and even some slight stacking is an eyesore to me (obviously different strokes for different folks).  No break also eliminates saw-off concern.

                                Figure skating and snowboarding are unwatchable.  I don't care who does an event prettier or more stylishly.  The Olympic motto is Higher, Faster, Stronger.  If an event isn't about doing one of those things, it's dead to me.

                                Slinging big assed rocks counts, too.  Curling is awesome.

                                  Def unpop. Snowboarding is faster higher further.. and while I could give a shit less about figure skating… that sport is legit. To be graceful on blades on ice... that’s something. But you found the right thread.

                                  Maybe so. Maybe not

                                      Haha. That awesome. I do understand your scoring opinion. Although the snowboarders see the tone. They basically outdo each other as opposed to a time being the factor. It’s pretty awesome. Glad u enjoyed it

                                        My wife hates this bathroom tile.  I think it's got a mid-century morgue look. I like it.

                                        Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                                        Well, I have others.
