Bought 2 pair (of my first) Levi 501s, should I get them hemmed?

I've always read about people getting their jeans hemmed around here but I always thought my jeans looked fine folded inwards... looks neat enough. :\\

Err, forgive me for asking, but why not just fold them inwards?Originally Posted by RabbitChannel
Umm...I am not forgiving this comment.
To the OP, I agree with some of the other sentiments mentioned by others regarding trying another cut, a different wash (I have just grown to hate the "mom/dad" jean look of prewashed denim of this color spectrum), and getting some other footwear to compliment the jeans and overall look. Levi's are fine in my book, but not the older, boxy and shapeless fits. I'm not saying go for the skinny look, but from those pictures you posted (difficult to tell fully with those angles), these aren't suiting you properly.
And I vote for hemming if you're talking anything more than 2" or so.

It's sort of a dark teal but looks black in most lights..
Pretty cool I think. I sorta have my own style. I have Converse all stars too btw.

Forget hemming. Cuff if it really bothers you. Use the money to buy new shoes. Get something plain and simple. Personally, I like Vans Authentics or Converse All-Stars. It all depends on your preference, but it will make you jeans look much better.Originally Posted by AntiHero84
... and yes, you might want to consider a different wash on your next pair.
Sperry original brown topsiders would look good. Or some Jack Purcells in white or blue. And then there's always the desert boot...
