To Cuff or Not to Cuff?

[SKT]

@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.

I get them hemmed to the right length, end of.....

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.

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.

Cool - thank you @Giles

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....

When breaking in new jeans, does it matter when you start cuffing your jeans? Should you break in with the boots that you’ll be wearing?

@michael.rose0107 I think it is 100% user choice. However I generally do not cuff at all, just stack until first wash at at least 50 wears if I can hold out. Then I cuff after. But that’s just me

Nerd out, coming in hot:
My logic for this is that as the inside of the hem rubs against my boots, it creates nice roping on the inside which later shows with the cuff. It also makes cool reverse stack fades on the weft that gives a less “pressed” look for the cuffs once the fades have begun. Here’s my 142od at 11 wears and my 21ib at like 170.. I just like it this way.
