cuff once or twice???

[nnkd]

i want to get this rockabilly look but dont know if one or two cuff is the best look.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

3" cuffs, folsom or single, depending on how much extra length you have to work with

pics would help

whats the meaning of foslom???

[denimdestroyedmylife]

that looks great.

your jeans are folsom-cuffed: double-cuffed. probably originates from folsom-prison style. but i don't know.

on a semi-related note. for those who leave the inseam long for a little bit of a bunch/break at the shoe- do you cuff when you're not wearing shoes? or do you just let the ends drag

[Kasper]

i personnaly don't like too much the double cuff, mostly because i thing it alters too much the fit of the jeans (it's not really the case with your canes). a single cuff permit the jeans to fall more smoothly. it's all a question of personnal taste i guess.

i definitely cuff my stacked jeans when i take off my shoes, i just cant drag the hems around...

[Charlie Delta]

^^ I do that, I just tuck the back of my jeans in the back of my socks, works for me, might look silly but I'm at home anyway.

I dont really like double cuffs on slim or regular jeans, I think it affects the drape and sillouette. Most of the time I let em stack, or when im feeling outrageous I might peg em ( guess that is a double cuff ). When I first got my apcs I did a really thin cuff to show a smidgin of selvedge and have stacks, I havent cuffed any of my jeans for some months now.

[watchman]

most of my jeans don't allow a cuff since the inseams are simply too short, but i bought my LVC 47's with a 38 inseam just so i could do the "folsom" cuff. I think it looks good even though the jeans are slim, since it means the cuff looks very smooth instead of bulky.

[tweeds]

are folsom cuffs supposed to be any particular width (apart from DDML's preferred 3")? the old photos i see all feature pretty thin cuffs

[denimdestroyedmylife]

i suggested 3" as that seems to be the minimum for rockabilly folk. i don't know the parameters for a roll to be qualified "folsom".

[tweeds]

probably no real parameters...i keep imagining everything in the world is governed by rules though

[sell veg]

this should help:

C = P / (2w - (br))

where:

C = the size of cuff

P = the quantity of pomade used daily

w = the quantity of plain white tshirts worn weekly

br = the product of black and red outfits worn monthly

[tweeds]

hahaha sell veg, so full of shit

i've always wanted to do double cuffing though, but never had the boots to go...nor shoes.

[ayn]

I like single so it shows the chainstitching...

[synthi]

Single cuff for exactly the same reason as ayn. Plus I'm a shortie and double cuff makes it look like I can't find jeans with the right inseam which is kinda true!

[stuntastic]

Depends with the shoe style.

Double, Single, or none.

[tanner68]

I agree with previous posters.... single cuffs.

Double cuffs alter how the jeans drape and the silhouette.

FWIW, the only time I ever cuff 'em is when I'm home and take my shoes off. I don't want to mess up the hems by walking on them and dragging them around.

[bleedxslow]

Yeah, double cuffs just look sloppy. I like to see the hem.

[rnrswitch]

I back DDMLs suggestions.

I do believe folsom cuffs have to be large... 2in and above. Double cuffs of course. SO you would need 4 extra inches of jeans.

The folsom cuff originates from prison inmates outfits all being one size. The inseam was typically long to accomidate for the big muthfuc.as in there.
