To hem or not to hem?


I vote hem, assuming you've washed them (NS, I assume?) and gotten all the shrinkage out. Your style is pretty consistently "tidy business casual" (in the best sense of all three words) and cuffs look better, I think, with the nice footwear that you favor.


So you think his pants look best cuffed, and therefore he should hem his pants so as to be unable to cuff them?

From the looks of the denim its not NS, maybe LVC?

LVC, yes.

I was a bit confused as well, but I think Peter means I should shorten and hem them, like my other jeans. I think I'll wear them as they are, though. These will be my most "casual jeans". The fabric is heavier and coarser, and the details (pockets especially) are "less refined" (bigger) than on my APC's. I think I like the rolled-up look for my "clunkier" shoes and heavier cardigans and sweaters, if you know what I mean.

Now, back in my BNY outlet days, I sold LVCs that were unsanforized-- they even came with a huge sticker warning buyers about the massive shrinkage that was about to go down.

Is that the case with yours? Because then there would be no hemming needed. Mother nature would take care of it.
