Cuffs or No Cuffs?
When you get your pants hemmed, do you get the with cuffs or no cuffs? Why?

Definitely no cuffs.

There was a thread a while back on this with the advice from JRut (I think) that I took.

Do not get your pants tailored like regular pants, get what they call a military hem. Your pants should lay straight when you stand up, not sorta bunch at the bottom like normal. The military hem will allow that because it's hemmed higher in the front than in the back.

I don't know. I think I disagree.

Don't do cuffs. One more thing to cause you problems.

No cuffs unless you like that kind of thing. Just make sure you have a safety word.

Peace

Me thinks you're a military imposter...or I had my military pants hemmed the wrong way for 24 years. My military dress pants were always longer in the back and the front barely touched the top of the shoe with a slight crease.

No cuffs, you might get a shoe caught in them and fall down and go BOOM!!!
