I have to agree with you on that. Very tricky to get perfect and you need a tailor that has good taste in order to execute it right. I recently brought back two suit jackets that had handmade buttonholes for sleeves. Love those two suits out of about 90, but I didn't wear them as much as I would have liked because the work was not its best. It wreaked havoc on my mind and hated that it bothered me so much. Now I'm good but the sane is true either way hemming pants. The gentleman who loves clothes will never feel right if the pants are not tailored perfectly.Cuffed is risky unless one is tall. And even when cuffed it needs to be on trousers that are narrower at the bottom. A wide leg with a cuff looks like a paper bag folded over. The correct tailoring is crucial - the break has to be exactly right and with the right angle/slope to the back of the cuff, otherwise it will stick out like a box over one's shoe. Plain hems are much more forgiving.
Nice photo. I prefer cuffed and pleated.How do you prefer trousers to be finished? Cuffed or uncuffed?

I agree, but I don’t buy pleated pants!Cuffed with pleats. Plain if flat front
This is exactly the same as i prefer, are these suede loafers or leather ?How do you prefer trousers to be finished? Cuffed or uncuffed?

For more than 50 years, I've had my trousers made cuffless, with what I've heard called a 'cavalry' cut, in that there's about a 3/4 inch longer difference at your heel than at your instep. If a slight break is established over the instep, it's just right. Custom tailors seem unfazed at such a request.I do a 2 inch cuff every time, for no reason other than I prefer the way it looks to a smaller cuff or a plain hem. At this point, I feel kind of naked wearing plain hems outside of denim.
