To Cuff or Not to Cuff?
-
I used to hate cuffing. and then i realized my lil legs made it so i had to. so i did for a decade and i loved it.
now my pair of 634 OD's honeycombs shortened the length of my hem (next time i'll insist on a 30 inseam instead of a 29 at self edge) so i dont cuff those pants. wish they had a cuff..

@MattyJ I would recommend doing what makes you happy and will make the jeans more comfortable for you. If you don’t like cuffing and don’t wear them because of it, then you won’t be happy with the jeans.
I hemmed mine and many others have too. Ultimately it’s your decision though
Let us know how it works out.

I like the way a cuff breaks the denim and boots a really nice look! Especially a Tokyo cuff with IH denim. It’s all personal preference. So you can ask 100 peeps here and will get 101 answers
so if you don’t like a cuff you got your answer. But that’s just my 2 cents! You can also try the option @endo gave you try them cuffed for a while. -

My view on cuffs is that it just looks so cool … on other people. I’m a hemmed guy, but in all honesty I do like the look of cuffed denim.
@Brandrea I thank you for putting my identical opinion into such clear text.

I wish it weren’t the case. I tried wearing my newly bought 14oz broken twill for a few days thinking I’d leave them un hemmed … just doesn’t work for me.

necro-bumping this old thread to save the 634-A thread from being taken over by cuffing discussion. If appropriate, mods feel free to delete my post, move the posts here, or ignore me entirely
To add to the discussion, have tried cuffing a couple of times, but never for very long. Instead I hem a little long, get them to stack a little, and then can cuff them on occasion if I want. I dont like the crease/fade from a cuff and also I'm continually thinking about all the dirt and stuff caught in the cuff that will wear through the fold faster than if they were hemmed. Maybe one day i'll commit to a cuff.

@pechelman Moved the entire discussion here and thank you for bumping. I've got jeans in all kinds of configurations (single, double, Tokyo Roll, hemmed long for stacks, short to break with different shoes) and think there is no right answer to the question.

Sorry I didn’t mean to highjack the thread … who knew there was an entire thread dedicated to cuffing

I don't cuff because it makes it look like your wearing a costume. To me it looks hipster. I just paid 350 for jeans I want them to fit correctly and blend in. I'm not trying to draw attention or show off. Understated is always best. I get that it is time period correct and understand that point.

My jeans have been cuffed since 1987. Why stop now.
That's the year I was born.
