Denim jeans - if/when to hem?

Any thoughts on hemming jeans that are a couple of inches too long, or do they look better simply rolled up at the hem?

Some designer denim is only produced with a 34" length; as they assume that you will be purchasing it at boutiques that will provide hemming for you. At least, this is what I have been told by some local boutique owners. Perhaps they were only referring to their stock.

My rule for rolling up jeans is pretty simple: you shouldn't have to roll them up. They should be the correct length unrolled, and only rolled up an inch or inch and a half if you want to show some ankle or your socks. It seems to be in vogue at the moment.

In my opinion, having a massive 4" cuff at the bottom of your jeans looks ridiculous. But that's just me...

You could have asked this in the small questions thread. And are the jeans raw? If they are I wouldn't hem them until you washed them. I lost about 2 inches on my N&F after a hot wash and 10 minutes in the dryer.

Stacking:



See the way those jeans are all bunched up in the legs?

It's a personal preference thing. Some people love stacking. I hate it. It's definitely a more urban style, for lack of a better word.

^ There are various degrees of stacking, too. I like stacking, but the above is too much for me. Just like what people have said, it's all a personal preference.

That is an example of bad stacking, yes.

Whenever I see stacking, it never fails to remind me of 80's leg warmers:


On girls, it's fine. On guys, it looks retarded (IMHO).

Have them hemmed to the correct length. Or minimal cuff.
