      @Karol I used to hem & cuff but now I just fold & go - just like Charlie Hunter, cool clip!

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

          In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

            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

                          Hemmed, 100% of the time. Don't like the extra mass/bulk/material of a cuff. Feels annoying/clumsy to me and gets on my nerves.
                          I often like how a cuff looks on other people though.

                            Used to cuff but hated it when the denim breaks where it's folded, therefore no cuffs, always hemmed now with a bit of stacking.

                                I actually made the 34" bit up. I think that is what it is, but I just measure the inseam of my current pair and hem the new pair to the same length....
