2. Dont want to upset her since she took it upon herself to do this for me. She would be understanding since she would not be aware of any issues with a cuff or no cuff leg while umpiring. She just thougth it looked sharper. Is this a big issue or not. Suggestions please! Thanks in advance1

How did you not know she was going to put cuffs on them? Didn't you have to stand on a chair wearing the slacks and your umpiring shoes while she measured the length of the slacks? My wife does and hasn't your wife ever seen your older umpiring slacks?
