I have no idea how you can tell that they're cuffed rather than turned up (non-selvage)

Looks chunky and messy like a turn up, not flat and pressed like a tailored cuff

Are his jeans the same material on the inside as the outside. On all my jeans the outside looks very different to the inside.

This was posted on superdenim yesterday, RE: cuffed jeans.

As for the cuffs, some kids wore them plain and uncuffed, but the really cool guys, the ones with DA haircuts and their cigarettes rolled up in their t-shirt sleeves, reverse-rolled their cuffs like dress trousers. You bought them with legs a lot longer than your own, turned a deep cuff under, then turned the cuff up on the outside about 1" to produce a narrow cuff that matched the rest of the jeans. The first few times you had to iron them that way, but eventually they'd stay. Being unwilling to take unnecessary chances with my coolness, I sewed mine...

Don't know how it was elsewhere, but this was the style in that one place and time.

more importantly, can cuffed jeans be used as office pants?

I am not sure if you are my favorite poster or the poster I hate the most.

I feel the same way about myself. And Vox.

Agreed, would have preferred a more clean cuff if a cuff at all.

The one on the right is a she.
The hips give it away.
Even fat guys rarely have such hips.

Disturbingly hideous either way.

 

[lasbar]

She looks like a fat Ines de la Fressange...

Well, I said "look to be" - that's hardly definitive. My reasoning was that the cuff appears to be a consistent height and appears to be showing the front side of the fabric. Whether they're sewn in place or not, they look fussy and inorganic to my eye.

Hate the shoes, but like everything else (the shorts could be longer, but I'll let it slide).

Much better than the Sartorialist: From Mister Mort CLICK TO ENLARGE - great detail and this guy . . .
