      @Mr-Linz You should be able to resave them as .jpg to solve the issue.

        @Mr-Linz. If your gonna cuff I like the one turn as well. It's clean and understated.

                  I've gone through most cuff styles but always come back to the Tokyo cuff. I love the chunky weight it adds to the draping of the legs, but it's also the easiest way for me to just buy jeans and not worry hemming.

                  It varies though how thick I like the cuff. Here it is at a good 6.5 cm / 2.5 ″ - but I also like it at 5 cm / 2". It really makes a difference 😉

                    I do see recently a higher number of cuffs. Some of those almost like the ones that the great late @Filthy2123ozjunkie used to sport.
                    An example here from some Charlie Hunter jam:

                      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 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!

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

                                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.

                                      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.

                                            Just touching the floor at my heel with no shoes on. I make no adjustment for rise, just hem them all to 34
