Turning up your jeans...

[Victor]

How many inches do you turn up the bottom of your jeans if at all? Should it only be done with selvedge?

[clintyclint]

yo bro, what kind of question is that? whatever you want to do just DO! there aren't any rules in this world how you should dress or cuff your jeans! just do whatever you like!

[Corbin Law]

im a 2 inch man myself, it depends on the jean for me, i don think it looks good on light jeans that dont have a very contrasted look on the little diagonal stripes on the inside of the jean

i am thoroughly intimidated

[Victor]

Whoa... Just wanted to get some opinions. I didn't say "Your responses will define the way I dress".

i like 1-2" turnups on modern cut jeans (slim, lowrise), worn with trainers

on "classic" cuts (LVC, Lee 101, etc) i do 3" turnups with no break, since i'm usually wearing those with boots/leather shoes

i cuff as neccesity, cuz im 5' 6'', but it can look funny for some peeps. I gotta show off mah selvage with the cuffs tho.

[champagne_bubblebath]

anything beyond 2-inches just looks retarted. get them shits hemmed.

[Mr Arsehat]

I cuff my left leg at exactly 1.7 inches, and the right leg at exactly 3.5 inches, therefore giving off a 'I don't give a fuck' look.

I use a measuring tape to ensure the exact measurements are correct.

^ I do the EXACT same thing.... Wow, what City do you rep?

At the moment I'm repping Fockatania, an old Eastern European city where they appreciate the finer things like cuffed jeans and a good dental plan.

i hem everything i buy to fit myself.. whether its selvege or not.. cuz dont really see any point to show off a selvege pants.. who really cares?

as well.. i hate to turn it up.. as im 5'5.. haha.. so it gives a short impression

[Corbin Law]

i think that dragging just ruins the jeans, hemming is ok and looks good but i never really go out an actually hem something no matter how much i need to, i just think that cuffing gives it a more distinct look, but if your gonna wear them with boots or leather nice ass shit, i think a cuff looks like ass, that shit needs to be hemmed

[NatseOklim]

I normally cuff about 2 inches but I got a pair of gimme5 that are quite a soft denim and quite long and cuffing alone doesn't cut it so they've been rolled 3 times to give a 2 inch cuff.

[AmericanTemplar]

I don't normally like to cuff my jeans at all, but I got a pair of those premium 501's with the selvege and they were all hella long so I got 1/2" turnups stitched into them. I don't really like how they look though, because you're not supposed to wash them and the knee's are all bagged out. Perfect length/cuffs + bagged out knee's=gay.

I'm a partial to the ol the cuff and drag myself ... I'm not a huge fan of the cuff but for some reason I always end up buying jeans that are just a little too long and I can never be bothered to hem them.. so it's a small cuff and then they drag otherwise its straight up dragging.

[thomas_highstreet]

i would NEVER let my jeans drag the floor.. no fucking way..

if theyre going too long i'll roll 'em up like a skinhead or tuck 'em in like a cyclist..

most my jeans i tailor anyway, so all selvedge seam steeez is lost - hence me mostly wearing cheap vintage 501's ive tailored the crap out of until my nuts bleed..

i rock a turn up the size of the bottom hem.. its litterally like 1/2 - 3/4 of an inch.. steez. no contest.
