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.

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!!!

You're saying the same thing, Sarge. He said "higher in the front" and you said "shorter in the front." Semantics.

I like the cuffs for dress. On the court, no way, imo.

By the way, Monday is opening night for me. Can't wait! Plus, I get to hang out with M&M on Thursday.

I don't know. I think I disagree.

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

Finally, a thread with legs.
