For visible mending work, the thought did cross my mind to try and do it myself as it is indeed my own clothing and why not just add your own personal flair? But I suppose I'm a poser at the moment like those who buy already distressed or paint splattered clothing. I guess I'm a bit lazy and rather have someone else do whatever fun creative spin they can on these holes. -

I completely agree here. Getting hemmed to the exact length from the get go is difficult. Especially if you take into account that each pattern fit differently, that jeans are forever shrinking and that different shoes/boots usually look better with different length of inseam. What works well with chinos for me is hemming them again after about a year of wear. I did it with denim as well but than you lose the beautiful roping that are created to that point. fading a pair of denim is always a win some lose some situation. -

Also, using using cuff for longer periods require repairs to the damage caused by cuffing, if inseam length is perfect after shrinkage and cuff not needed / possible, it will save such damages -
It’s fine. But, with raw denim, it’s pretty tough to do because the length isn’t exactly a constant and the variable rises of jeans means the ideal inseam isn’t the same from pair to pair. YMMV but most raw pairs I get shrink in length over the course of multiple washes. Like my contest jeans, just gave them their second wash. I did a hand wash with cold water and minimal agitation. This after the first wash was a piping, steaming hot long soak followed by a hot machine wash. Even though it was cold water this time and gentler, still lost about an inch in length. I sized the jeans for where I’d hoped the eventual length after all shrinkage would be only a small cuff or could even be none, but as with many other pairs it doesn’t get there until 3 or 6 months in. If I hem them from the get go they are too short 6 months in. I do tend to get new pairs hemmed when I can, but always err on an inch or even 2 inches too long because of this and then I wear the jeans cuffed or uncuffed depending.
