Don't slim the sleg though
No no no.
But whyyyyyyyyyy
Protective clothing, for when you get trampled by the mobs...How is streetwear defined? I haven't had a chance to read the article yet.
Is there a good reason slimming a leg is a bad idea? I slim almost all of my dress pants to 21cm (because they’re mostly vintage, and usually cut wider than current tastes), and they always come out fine. What am I missing?
Cannot answer why because I don't know why.But whyyyyyyyyyy
Add .5” to the length in the front.This is where things stand presently, although imagine the cuff wasn’t making the hem seem more fitted.

I come from having worn skinny jeans, a preference I imparted to my tailoring. However I have been coming around to wider fits (acknowledging 21 cm isn't wide in classic menswear). I think I am content with leaving the width as is, especially as the extra capacity will allow for better airflow in the humid NYC heat.
Other related questions:
* How's the above break?
* I am getting these cuffed. 2" doesn't seem like enough cuff to me. Is 3" absolutely egregious?
* Is it a good idea/can one have a slant applied to a cuffed hem?
* My right leg is maybe 0.5 cm shorter than my left. Generally, is it worthwhile to try to nail down the differential and have a tailor account for this? I have had this done with maybe one pair of trousers I own.
* Who let the dogs out?

Curious, how tall are you? I have some trousers that have 2 inch cuffs but I’ll do 1 3/4 nowadays. Won’t go so far as to change the current 2 inch cuffs but I prefer the less noticeable cuff.
