To Cuff or Not to Cuff?
-
@Memphisakers As far as I know and have experienced it really is the best practice. You’ll also get to a point when you don’t notice until you have a hole or two and then send them off for repair. The next level is when you don’t send them in and wear them until they are retired.
My personal favourites of the jean’s posted on here have all been worn hard, repaired many times, and worn until they are taken out of circulation

@goosehd I just sent those to be hemmed after wearing them Tokyo cuffed all this time. I hemmed them to have a 2” cuff and a little bit long for some stacking. My plan is to rock them like that until I get wear thru on the cuffs, then hem them again for no cuff (maybe even no break if I have to) and try to get three different looks/lengths for the same pair of jeans! I thought it was a solid plan. I have jeans both with and without cuffs, honestly like them just as much either way!!

Not sure if this is unusual... But my preference is a one inch (or something close to that) cuff. It's really just turned it over once so I can show off my selvedge ID without have large cuffs which look a little odd on me as I have short legs.

@Mr-Linz To me it looks like the format of the pictures from your computer are formatted incorrectly. When I looked at them they were different from your phone pictures. (To me it looks like your computer images are saved as HEIC)
How are your computer photographs saved? Am I seeing it correctly?

@goosehd Ahhh that might be it. I just airdropped them from my phone to my laptop and they must somehow change format during the drop. Not sure how to change that. A bit annoying, but explains the issue... I suppose email them to myself.

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

@flannel-slut Hahaha! Next thing I'll be rolling them up like my Dad at the beach.

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
