@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.

@ARNC said it best with "The only sacrilege is having these and not wearing them"

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

@Brandrea It was 9 years old and even I didn't remember it...

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.

@themage sorry man, but there are few things more hipster than buying 400$, organic cotton, & raw indigo denim made by a small Japanese atelier.

IMO you paid for you, you wear them how you want to and feck anyone who says otherwise.

My jeans have been cuffed since 1987. Why stop now.

That's the year I was born.

@Oaktavia just brutal

@Oaktavia haha. Young man!

And to the subject…sometimes I cuff, sometimes I don’t. Depends on the pair of jeans and my mood. Options can be nice

Seriously

@Anesthetist Hipsters shop at goodwill to be ironic....conessours of the finest quality by 350 pants. About 5% of people that cuff their pants can pull it off....the rest look like extras from Grease or little kids playing a character. I don't wear sandals either...men should never show their feet unless your around water IMO. Nobody wants to see hairy ass toes.

I wear my cuffed jeans with open toe sandals and think I look just FABULOUS

There is no "right" answer on how to wear your jeans. If some bought IH jeans and immediately made them into 5" denim jorts and had legs as white as mine and posted 30 pics a day of their inner thighs, i'd still appreciate the passion.

For me I cuff or not cuff depending on the footwear. I also need longer inseam when on horseback as they ride up from the sitting position. I loved cuffing them when i first got into selvedge denim as an attempt to "show off". It shouldn't surprise anyone that in suburban MN no one cares about jeans. everyone wears either A. Mall brand stuff or B. Carhartt gear from tractor supply.

It took a bit to realize that i was dressing only for me, and that's just fine. cuff or don't cuff, but i've said enough.

@themage We joke and beat each other up pretty good around here. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do as it's all in good fun

[goosehd]

@jordanscollected Thank you for burning the mental image of pasty white Minnesotan legs in 5" jorts into my mind. I may not forgive you for that one...

[jordanscollected]

come to the local pool and won't be just a mental image @goosehd
