Do you cuff your jeans?

I don't really care for a single cuff. Usually if something is long enough to cuff on me it probably is going to get double cuffed. I feel the double cuff is a slightly cleaner looking cuff.

Ok, so i feel like an idiot asking this, but I'm not exactly sure what you guys mean by "stacking". Can any one explain this to me?

I would never cuff skinny jeans or 501s but I think it works pretty well with slim fit/well cut jeans as long as you don't fold it too much.

I borrowed this picture. It's Kodiak, in case you didn't know.

See where the jeans meets the shoes? The denim "stacks" on top of each layer due to the long inseam.

I think that cuffing is good for looser fits, but not so good for slimmer. Personally, I cuff those with hems over 9" (oni, ald, samurai) but not the slimmer (apc, 501stf)

I usually stack, and cuff occasionally. Depends on the outfit. Always double cuff when I do.
