Haha. Happy to hear. Thanks for the sub :)

Benbot haha. So glad to hear that man! It's so great to share the denim love!

Agreed

Yes you are correct which is why you shouldn’t do it. It’s the same way as those guys who wear only tank tops because they want to show off their muscles just spend $10 and get your jeans hemmed.

Peter Ng awesome! How'd you get on?

@@CeeAreDee been rocking a normal double cuff as opposed to pinrolliing (too much work everyday) haha

How do you like the tanukis?

It's a staple for me... and every sneakerhead anywhere. lol

@New Yorker in Exile yep, especially with some girbauds or cavariccis... amirite?

Memories of junior high.😂

I’ve been doing this “pin roll cuff” for about 10 years now! Had no idea it had a formal name.

The Zack Morris/A.C Slater cuff

Cheers mate. Haha, yeah, I think all us denimheads are obsessed with the little things.

Haha, I am not sure I have the commitment for that ;) But it is a good method of you are dead set on the length and the shoes you will be wearing for the foreseeable.

I've done the same thing for years now, and for me it's the only acceptable way to cuff denim. I got in the habit of ironing and using starch while serving in the Army 20 years ago. Since then, I must say that ironing has become somewhat an obsession of mine and I've become a self confessed expert. Actually, when it comes to my raw denim, after the initial wash and partial air drying (my method is half machine dried and half air hang dried), I turn the jeans inside out and lay the seams flat. After that, I carefully apply aerosol starch (one that preserves color) and use an old pillow case to iron so as not to impact the denim directly. After doing both legs and essentially the whole jeans, I turn the jeans right side out and repeat the process, albeit much easier to iron once the inside has been ironed. I line up the seams and go for it. The end result are jeans that are now fitted but that retain that brand new look and raw stiffness. When I get to the cuffs, I usually go about an inch or slightly over and test the length before hand. I start with the back of the jeans; gently apply the aerosol starch and go over with iron (on steam setting of course) a few times. This usually gets the other side pretty flattened and flush, so I just go over the front side a few times and done.

Hey Oliver. I would LOVE to go to Kohima! In fact I just found a map a friend gave me of the best spots. Never heard of a 23oz Big John! Love the Rare line tho. Sure they will look ace after the wash

@@CeeAreDee @Cee Are Dee It was definitely worth the trek from Osaka first thing in the morning! Didn't manage to get in everywhere I wanted (PBJ was closed and Momotaro was rammed) but it was still great. I think my girlfriend finally understood what the fuss was about!

Yeah, I love that cuffed look!

So good right.

Nathan thanks mate. Appreciate the kind words.

Cheers, buddy!

brownbandito7 no worries, that's what we're here for. Hmmm. My experience with Levi stf Red tab is limited but I'm guessing the denim is around the 13oz mark. There is a chance you'll lose 2 inches in leg length but I'd guess only 1 inch in the waist which will. More than likely stretch out again. You should certainly do a soak to get the shrink out ASAP. I have a video explaining the reasoning and the way to do it. Check it out on the channel. If you don't soak, the denim won't last so long and when you do wash, your fades will be all distorted. Best to do it before they set in too much. Let us know how you get on.

I'm the exact measurement you are. There was a time when I would only wear 501 STF's, so I must say that if you buy a 33 waist, the waist will be too big. Go up one inch as the indications on the pocket tag state for a 31" waist. Whenever I've bought a 32" waist and shrunk accordingly. I'd end up with a perfectly fitting 31" waist jean.

Wasn’t Marty McFly sporting the pin roll?

Sf2explus nailed it pretty much. I wouldn't go for the fabric softener myself but then I never use the stuff. I have a video on just how to do your first soak. Check it out and go from there.

Yeah, this is tricky... if you really want a tapered leg, then maybe take them to a tailor and have them tapered. I know a load of people who do this and they look great. Just make sure they do the inseam and not cut out a chunk of the selvedge... I saw this a few times on the forums... tragedy and no way back!

@@CeeAreDee I'm an old fart, I stick to the straight stuff. Thanks for all your vids btw. Thanks to you I finally got my 1st pair! Just getting comfy now.

Very true, mate.

Any of the LVC's (Levi's Vintage Clothing) should have a selvedge Edge. Look for those :)

Haha. Yeah the 80e are back. Marty vibes!

I love it cause it means my jeans don’t catch on my bike chain 😂

Hey Douglas... another very good question and it gave me some pause for thought again. Trouble is, (and this is just my personal opinion) I am not the biggest fan of trying to dress up denim in any way. It is essentially a blue-collar fabric for workwear and it never really made the crossover to the sartorial until relatively recently. I think there is a good reason for that. What we love about denim ie the fades and the garment narrative, doesn't lend itself to the notion of sartorial menswear. A beautifully faded pair of jeans with a tailored sportscoat and buttondown looks sloppy. But again, before the litany of hate starts rolling in, this is just my personal opinion. Having said that... I have seen a few rare street style shots when the guys totally nail this look... The secret seems to be a brand new pair of raws, no cuff and hemmed above the ankle. A beautiful pair of shoes, no socks or those little-hidden socks so your shoes don't get stinky. A belt that matches the shoes fitted shirt and a tailored blazer. These guys have that ‘sprezzatura’, a studied carelessness, especially as a characteristic quality or style... It works for them, but it's not clear why... I have seen others, with pretty much the same get up who look terrible. As with all these things, and the sprezzatura, the point is, there are no hard and fast rules. If you love it and you think it works, rock it. But to answer your specific question... nope, never cuff when dressing up.

That is the best way forward.

Selvedge cuffing and Birkenstock, nice!

Thanks Kevin. Appreciate it mate.

simple and clean is always a good idea. :)

Ah, the double cuff with the exposed chain stitch? Used to be my go to

@@CeeAreDee No it's different it's where I do a larger cuff than fold some excess to the inside of my jeans. like this i.imgur.com/7SL9LML.png

@@dantes.4845 Dude...This is awesome! This fixed my excess length issue with he single cuff look without going to the tailors. Thank you for sharing this. This cuffing method shall be called "In and Out" or "Out and In" rather. lol

Back at ya, hope you had a good one!

Hey mate, haha, no judgement here. Answered your question in the last vif ;)

Oh, not sure. I found it on a free music sharing site. It is great tho.

Hahahaha. Best description I've heard ... Gonna use that one.

Haha, I am happy to hear it! Don't you end up getting a load of crap in the cuff?

Hot metal shavings sometimes but as long as they don't go in my boot I'm alright with it.

It came with the intro template. Just some general blues rock. Kinda miss it tho

zumdidum it's a fair comment. I do like the fades you get from stacking but for me, it messes with the fit too much. Cuffing is the best of both worlds for me.

i need to cuff because they are actually not in my lengths but always do the simple cuff and with one simple cuff it dont change the fit of the jeans and i like to wear the jeans with large cuffs, that the end touch the shoe completely not like that you can see youre ankles, this looks shit in my mind.

How’d that happen?

@@CeeAreDee it snagged, and they're still rigid since i barely wear them 😭

mysterious ;)

😂 I think you might have stumbled onto the next big thing... Go for it!

Coming... slowly but surely.

amen, brother

Ah Paul, if you are going to insult me at least try to be original.

I agree, what's up with the sunglasses. You look ridiculous.

I did. Lovely person.

That's just like, your opinion, man

@@CeeAreDee I guess you could use them to collect rain water or dirt and soil for your indoor plants

It is indeed.

I’d be tempted to have them hemmed and go for the tapered fits. I mean, if you get a good pair of jeans and have them hemmed they can be your go to the year round. The Modest Man KZfaq Channel has some amazing content for getting the fit right for shorter guys.

Hmmm. Possibly. But given all the denim being manufactured each and every second. I'd say 99.999% of the projectile loomed denim will be significantly lower quality than the Selvedge denim being milled.

yeah, true, but it still varies

I am, through and through a card carrying, beard wearing, coffee drinking hipster... and totally down with that ;)

Ahh, just "roll" with it ;)
