So I'm slowly weening myself off of Diesel and R&R and that stuff. I picked up these Rag & Bones for pretty cheap and was going to sell them but now I'm having second thoughts. What do you guys think of the fit in the pic I included? I've never cuffed and jeans before and if feels pretty weird, should I keep these cuffed or get them hemmed? Or should i just go ahead and sell them?

BTW- I also just got a ES Fulton rigid and I have a APC Rescue in the mail thanks to my lovely GF

Why do you want to sell them? They look fine, although I would get them hemmed rather than cuffed but that's personal preference.

Yeah, what the hell? Those are a great fit. Definitely keep them like that. If you don't like the cuff (I do) and you don't feel like having it there forever with a clothes pin or something, then hem the lenth off.

The main reason I wanted to sell them is finacial reasons but they were pretty cheap (under $50). I guess Ill keep them. Now I have to decided if I want them cuffed or not.

Thanks for the replies

Personally I'd prefer either bigger cuffs or wearing them stacked. Hemming is too easy!

I think that they are too big towards the bottom to successfully stack them.

IMO I think he should give them a long cold soak and a hang-dry. For my taste, they're just the slightest bit too short the way they're hanging now, but would be too long if they weren't cuffed. R&Bs are very shrink-resistant so after about 4 or so hours in a bucket of water and a hang dry might get them to just the perfect length.

As for the rest of the fit, I think they look great and I definitely wouldn't sell em if I were you. R&Bs make great dressy jeans. For some reason you can wear them with a sports jacket and avoid looking AmJacky.

Keep 'em...they look really good, even with the turnups. But I wouldn't call those cuffs. If you wanna be bad, you gotta cuff that **** 2" or more

Anyway, they could shrink just enough in the length like Brian said after the first wash, so turn 'em up until you wash them once.

Keep 'em. I love little turnips like that. I wear my Sd 103's and Fullcount 1108's like that.

Where did you get them for under $50? Do they still have some?

I picked them up at Len Druskin clearance in Edina, MN. The total was $48.70. They had at least another 34/32 and a 34/34 but I didn't look at any other sizes.
