I know that tuxedo pants should not be cuffed, but what is the proper way to hem them? Should you "see" the hem, or should it be sewn on the inside only? I hope the question makes sense.

Thanks

Hem sewn on the inside only (when would you ever want a visible hem), with no visible break in the front (or the tiniest break), slanting down to cover the middle of the shoe in the rear.
