How many of you cuff their hemm to show...

[john11f]

...the selvage outseam of your denim?

[adsurgo]

depends. but yeah i do sometimes. i think i like the cuffed look more than i like showing off the selvage tho.

[baldy]

i've never even thought about that..

[eastcoastrider27]

I cuff all my jeans, selvage or not.

NyM...

[triniboy27]

I do...just my selvage pair though.

Meh, it's something a little less boring.

[Iambic Pentameter]

I cuff it cause they're too long and I don't think I want to have them hemmed

I'm thinking of having my Nudie RR dry hemmed but balked out. I'm scared that the tailor might ruin it.

[neawts]

Well, I don't have any jeans with selvage, but I do have an irrational animosity towards cuffs.

I don't know what it is. Just something about the look...

[triniboy27]

Personally, I think cuffs only work with dry denim since they're so rigid...it just so happens that most dry denim tends to be selvedge (gross generalization, i know)

Cuffing washed/distressed jeans, to me, just looks like you bought your jeans too long...

I, too just cuffed my selvage but personally have a distaste in cuffing. I asked the question to rationalise having it hemmed.

[M4TM]

what good is having a selvage seam if no one else knows ?!?

heh. but naw, i cuff it a bit (like an inch)... don't like the cuffs to the knees look.

Learn it. Know it. Live it.

[Dangydang]

Don't like the way cuffs look. I just let em scrunch up.

[john11f]

I don't like them scrunched up either.

[darknworn]

i have mine hemmed + 1-1.5", then cuff that portion. after first wash, they fit perfectly length wise. so, i cuff for practical purposes, not to show off. you'll never find any cuffing on my old jeans. i buy selvage for me, not for the rest of the world to know.

good point.

the nudie RRs have a nice hemm that may not be replicated by my local tailor...

[darknworn]

it's almost impossible to find a local tailor with a chain stitching machine, unless you live in japan. that said, it doesn't bother me one bit as long as the replacement stitching is a good one and the thread matches with the rest of the jeans.

i cuff mine if the inseam is too long so it doesn't drag on the ground; i don't really care too much for scrunching at the bottom.

[crownzip]

A friend at work said I looked like Buddy Lee with my cuffed Evil denim jeans.

[RobbertJan]

i cuff all my jeans a little, i think it looks good so. not into the big cuffs either....

[jjs home]

I've been cuffing just the right leg of my jeans since '96 because it was something the whole gang I was in did. Stupid o ya'll probably, but the truth

[witts]

thats kinda cool man.. i cuff myn .. depends on the overall length of the jeans.. mostly an inch or a inch n a half

[meditation]

no and i don't really like the look of it either, maybe sometimes.

The important thing before I report in... my position.

[d]

anyone that cuffs jeans to show off that theyre selvage is lame.

[triniboy27]

I don't cuff my jeans to show my selvage, but as i said in my previous post, cuffing non-selvage jeans looks messy because of the fluffy stitching and shit...

[tangerine]

I cuff jeans if they are too long AND it looks good AND I don't feel like getting them hemmed. In general I like a 1-1.5" cuff, but I will cuff higher if the above conditions are met. Selvage or not doesn't enter into it, although I don't see anything wrong with showing it off.

[ten100switch]

sometimes I cuff sometimes I do the long drainpipe, I cuff my nudies and my apcs some but I've never cuffed my dior hommes, most of the time i make the decision based on the shoes I want to wear.

[rnrswitch]

I cuff both my 1947 lvcs and my cane 47s. I typically have about a 2-2.5 in cuff. This is not for selvage show off, but i feel like it gives more of that era look, where working folk cuffed their jeans rather than hemmed them.

[lilodxd]

I only cuff one pair of my jeans very slightly cuz they're just about an inch too long, and I don't feel like going to the tailor's and getting them hemmed.
