@Mizmazzle you won't be able to do without it anymore, I do Tokyo twists everywhere now

IMO the 805 calls for a double cuff, Tokyo is too heavy and wide here

[Mizmazzle]

@endo you say the Tokyo is or isn’t too heavy and wide here?

[Mizmazzle]

@Luijim78 haha. Man the cuff game is all new to me. I had to Google how to do the Tokyo cuff. Now I have to Google the Tokyo Twist!!

Fwiw, Tokyo cuffs on my unhemmed factory length 805s is no prob. I like the extra weight at the cuff to help keep the leg straight. It also has the added benefit of pumping more air around inside the leg to keep them running cooler.

Sorry, I think it is too heavy for the 805. I like mine with a double cuff.

@endo I do find that all that extra fabric at the bottom feels like it’s pulling weight down on the shoulder straps. Or maybe it’s just ALL the denim in the bibs combined weight pulling on the straps. Think I’m still getting used to the feel of the “dungarees” as I heard them referred to in the UK.

WTF is a Tokyo Twist?

Having a love affair with these Bibs. The construction, particularly the stitching, is (even for Iron Heart standards) distractingly impressive. Like, I’m working from home today and felt compelled to stop writing my email and post this.
