Agreed that 2" cuffs on jeans popular amongst the MC set are "sloppy and ridiculous".

1. having pants with no break is a 'clean' look, more conducive to the environment where they're worn, ie the streets are ok with a sort of stacked overflowing look, which would just be tacky in a professional setting.
2. The hem sizes are different, so on narrow jeans, a bit of stacking doesn't look all that sloppy, whereas on dress pants it does.
3. There's something about the sanctity of the denim that once you've bought it, you just wear it, so even though some hemming is done, it's sort of more like you buy them as is and appreciate them for how they were meant to be worn. 4. The denim fabric itself is sort of so valued that you wouldn't want to cut any of it off and just throw it out. You enjoy every scrap.

5. Lastly, I think it's also just an aesthetic choice. Personally I think that some stacking around the ankles has a neat look. With a narrow hem it's not that over the top and it feels more runway/trendy than an office look.

All depends on the height of stack/roll.  Jeans are not suit pants and should not be fit the same way.

But then there is this guy who posted in that thread who has his pants hemmed within SFMC tolerance.

700

It's a different look and the excessive stacking doesn't really do it for me. But I think there is a sort of arm's race going on. When there is so much stacking that the "break" goes up to your thighs, there would seem to be a problem. It is no wonder that high-end jeans cost so much. You could make three pair of "normal" length jeans out of some of these.

A moron AND an asshole. So glad you registered.

Setting him apart from the OP, this other guy clearly possesses at least two brain cells to rub together because he seems to have at least a vague awareness of that elusive thing called subjectivity:

That's one of the knocks against Kicking Mule Workshop jeans. Otherwise, by all reports they are a great pair, especially for MC types that don't want much fading.

My last test said I was up to 3 and half actually.

I think this thread is pretty pointless and the OP is probably scrounging for some support as it doesn't appear to have turned out as he planned. I'm sure the SW&D crowd think we look stupid wearing denim with no break, but to my knowledge they haven't attempted to start a flame war.

If you don't like stacked denim, don't wear it that way. If you don't like looking at the pictures, keep scrolling. foo.gif Not that fucking hard

While I agree with you....

I don't think the SW&D guys think we look stupid wearing denim with no break because even to them it takes a certain kind of jeans (very slim) to stack well.

Pleats, now, or ironed creases on jeans; they think those look stupid.

back to the hopelessness of the OP....

ha, support? I think it looks asinine...if you don't, thats your business. I don't need you or anyone else to agree.

Sorry, the jeans in the post linked do not fit...nothing else needs to be said.

Don't judge the jeans in the first post quite so quickly. It's impossible to tell how they will turn out. They look like they are brand new and most raw jeans will tend to look that way. Once they are given an initial wash they will shrink - especially in length -, soften and conform to the body a more closely. After a few days of wear they should then settle down nicely.

I'm not going to comment on your preference of length but I do not like jeans with no break. Denim is a stiff fabric, it doesn't flow when you move and to me looks odd when not planted firmly against the shoe.
