For peeps who dont hem their pants and have ungodly chunky rolls at the bottom, Why?

Why not?

Chunky rolls are always a great thing

I guess it's a matter of preference. Can't say I agree, when in motion it looks kinda off-putting. The clothing equivalent of a house-arrest ankle monitor.

I don't like chunky rolls either, hell I'm rarely ok with cuffs, except on certain wool pants. If you gotta roll do your thing but use trousers with relatively large hems.

I'm unfortunately looking to offload one of my Junya grails as I've gained some weight in the past couple of years. I'm pretty reluctant to get rid of it and may be a bit too attached as it's probably one of my favorite pieces I've ever come across, but it's just a bit too tight.

Wanted to see if anyone's seen any cool tweed worker or chore coats recently that I can line up as a replacement for the jacket below. I know there were a couple ones on NMWA and from DBF but looks like I've missed out on them (unless someone wants to part with something in a S-M).

I'm probly gonna get a pair too. What leather/color are yours again? And did you go tts or up one?

cuff don't roll , just turn back once no matter how long . go up 6" it's fine .

ngl i love this look

i've grown away from the doubly-turned cuff , looks like hiding croissants in there

 

[chimpskibot]

Yeah one cuff is cool, but multiple roles? Can't condone that. If you're buying $100+ pants you obv care about the fit or material, why not just pay the additional $10 to get them hemmed? Way more flattering and you rid yourself of the excess fabric shackles.

I've been hammering on about that in WAYWT for years tbh.

one cuff OK. intentional stacking, cool.

Hell even a roll can look OK in certain contexts but a lot of the time the proportions just look way off.

Look at how great @RajunCajun looks. A lot of that is down to making sure the proportions and intentions are clear.

Honestly can't believe no one here is subscribed to my OnlyCuffs channel
