Cuff Crease Be Gone!

[lowrider]

Warning! Noobie revalation below.

So I learned something last Friday from Derek and Jeremy at Self Edge. If you cuff your jean you'd better keep them cuffed or it'd develop these permanent cuff creases. That just sucks.

So I was cuffing the most perfect jean in the whole world for about 9 days and it started to get the dreaded cuff crease. I boiled a pot of water and dipped the hems in for about 2 minutes and then tried to work the creases out with my fingers before hang drying them.

Luckily it wasn't cuffed long enough so that it formed a permanent crease and I got it out.

No more cuffin' for me.

Anyone know other methods to get out more severe cuff creases? I was thinking boiling water then starching when still damp...

Couldn't you just iron it out? I've got loooooong legs so I don't get to cuff too often.

Ironing them before they develop too much contrast. You cuffed the KMW's without realizing that they would leave a line? It's totally fine to do that permanently, btw. I think that it adds a nice, vintage feel. It might cause the hems to fall off a decade from now, but it could still be cool.

uhhh washing them works too.

are you sure they weren't, u know... joking?

[eastcoastrider27]

No, the creases get set, and a wear line starts to form at the fold that won't go away with washing or even ironing.

[alex_844]

thats some heavy creasing then... usually i mix it up, so i guess it just never gets set enough to not wash out.

Washing them quickly and frequently will definitely take care of it. I like wearing my jeans cuffed. And I was disappointed when my pair of Nudies - worn for 8mos without washing - developed creases so deep that the denim ripped through. I then had to get them stitched up (the cuffs were nearly falling off), and they kind of look like shit.

So, I decided to just wash and wear my SDA's and Samurai's like normal. I wear them for a few weeks and then wash them. They don't fade as fast, but there's no cuff marks or holes. I think that's the only way around this problem.

I don't cuff because of some of these issues and I too have a rather long inseam, at least long enough to not allow cuffing with the regular brands. Ideally, i'd like to have a pair just for cuffing.

they are jeans....a cuff crease wont kill them

[bruised]

you can roll instead of cuff.

[hoodsuburbia]

i like cufs they are nice

[Tarmac]

I don't think a cuff will kill ya. Maybe a co-mantch though

[neonecko]

heh, i guess my nudies will lay in the permanently cuffed category. They tore where the crease is...slip-ons.

I think they can look cool over time,

As your jeans start wearing out the cuffed area will stay a little darker.. Levis exaggerated this effect with a wash called "Railrider" a few years ago, you can probably find some pics online.

yeah.. i realized that 4mo. into my pair of nudies.. i ironed them out.. still there.. now i just rock them with this weird 1" fold.. next pair will not be cuffed so often for so long

[ThugLife]

with my nudies they are a long inseam so they cuffed but they still stack.

so i have the cuff creases with the stacking creases and i think it looks kind of nice.

has anybody noticed how john wayne looks cool as shit, despite high waters, not much contrast fade, and an extremely high waist, no combs,etc. take note pupils! the man makes the jeans, not vice-versa . and they are not super-tight. he goes against all SF axioms, but he's got us all whipped! this lesson is taken from "be yourself 101". doesnt look like he gave a shit about a cuff crease, or what we think about his cuff crease. this is why he's hot.

My buddy has a pair of the 1000 dollar veggie indigo nudies, the distressed straight sven ones, and they made a little tear where the cuff crease would go. Thought that was interesting

your buddy is pretty umm retarded those retail at $750

[jpgm]

and he'd still be retarded if he paid retail imo...

[joey_formal]

agreed, nice wash but not $750 nice.
