Pin rolling jeans

[Franklin]

ok so i've tried a search and even asked in the small question's thread if there is a thread on here that shows/tells us how are neat pin rolls accomplished. i personally don't get the concept and im sure there are others who don't aswell.

edit: if there is a thread already on this top, sorry mods

you're obviously too young to have grown up in the early 90's then

So what if he is? Anyway, "tuck" or fold a piece of the fabric (on the inside hem, so it doesn't show as much), and be sure to leave a bit of extra room so you can roll up, and it takes about 2 rolls for it to "stick" but roll to your content beyond that.

Tuck-n-rolled 501's and converse was my uniform circa '86. Back then, we didn't have the internet or superfuture to ask how to tuck-n-roll jeans...we just did it, and we did it perfectly. I remember how I did it back in the day, but I worry that if I tell you, hella Williamsburg residents will jump down my throat telling me how I did it wrong or something. Fold as tight as you can on the inseam, then roll twice. Okay, let the flames begin...

[tony_hige]

ah...someone beat me to it...

make sure the circulation is completely cut off in your feet too, thats the way to know it's done right. Be forewarned, pinrolling looks fucking stupid UNLESS you're doing it to a pair of either acid washed or white GUESS? jeans.

I remember this being called "pegging your jeans", wasn't it?

i actually had to ask someone what the fuck "pinrolling" was when milspex said he was doing it a year ago....said the same thing as you.

[mis]

Didnt milspex have a post on this

[mspark]

If you have big ass feet and skinny legs, please dont "pinroll" your jeans.

i always thought of pegged jeans as either cuffed under or hemmed real high to show off your chucks or boots (punks and skins)

i "tightrolled" my jeans like seventh through 12th grade. with pants we would sometimes use a bobbypin or safetypin so there was no roll or loss of inseam. after about '92 we just cuffed em wide over our clydes.

I like to pinroll my jeans in the summertime, for some reason I feel it's more a warm weather look, can't really explain why

[Dogfarm]

Up here in the frozen wasteland of Canada we called it pegging. And while it di work best on Guess? or Lucky jeans I think you could also peg Jordache jeans.

That's what we called it back in the day. I imagine it's regional like coke/soda/pop.

I pegged my 501's and 505's with safety pins back when I was in college, 88-91. Then i got a girlfriend who could sew and could taper mine properly. Then I decided it looked dumb. I still think it looks pretty silly.

[poly800rock]

i'm holding strong with you arem. i refuse to peg/tightroll unless my mom buys me the acid washed or white Guess? jeans i should have gotten 15 years ago

[tony_hige]

yeah, totally mid-80's...I rocked 'em like that '84 to '86. By '87, I was wearing tapered black Levi's (don't ask me the model # - I can't remember, but I remember buying them at American Eagle before it was a brand and just a retail outlet) tucked into black hightop Reebok's 'cuz it was more metal.

[YoungPunch]

I used to peg my jeans while wearing my jimmy z, t&c surf designs, and vision street wear shirts back in 87-90. Then suddenly from 91-96 I only wore shorts, no jeans. Long, baggy plaid shorts....I should have just stuck to wearing pegged jeans.

thanks to everyone who contributed to the thread.

i was never exposed to pinrolling or pegging as most call it, even tho i was born in the late 80's. so i'll give it a try

[tweeds]

i went out with my eternals pegged today, thanks to MilSpex's post. only that i did it with a pair of black Clarks...i don't think it went too badly, actually.

Photo! Photo!

[tweeds]

well, i didn't have a chance to take a photo (or even look at myself in a full length mirror) so that will have to wait for the next time i try...

[evisu 2000]

pinrolling made me fall in love with my apc hipsters again.

[hilite]

Late 80s I definitely was pegging it up. I would even peg my slacks that I wore to church - that must have looked pretty awful. I remember I had a pair of sick Bugle Boy (I think) stone washed jeans with elastic cuffs. PRE PEGGED JEANS!!! That was genius in my book.

[wEstSidE]

i can't peg my jeans. i just don't have the mental faculty or something.

That's probably a blessing.

[wEstSidE]

i want to peg my APCs once i get the ATC Agassis and Cassette Playa.

[ktothe]

Can someone post a video of this or something? I just spent 30 minutes trying and failing. My self esteem is at risk here.

[poly800rock]

i'm sorry, but if you have spent 30 minutes trying to peg, and failed. than you should just give up the look. i still know how to do it 15 years later..
