Nowt against cuffs on other people, just not on me. It's funny really, I'll walk around in a, let's face it, yellow B-3 yet cuffs make me feel self conscious.
What's a B-3?

it's a bit try-hard. does the store where you bought your jeans not hem them? DC4 here in Berlin offer that service for free.
As said, it is a choice, 1) to shrink them then take them back to the shop for alteration or 2) wear them as people did in the old days. I think more people has access to sewing machine in the 50s. It cost them nothing to hem them jeans at home then. Yet it seems they chose to wear the jeans cuffed. I doubt it was out of necessity that they wore jeans cuffed back then. It has always been a statement- fashionable, rebel, care free etc since the 50s.it's a bit try-hard. does the store where you bought your jeans not hem them?

I will never understand the need for adults to cuff or turn up their jeans. By your age, you should be buying clothes that fit and wearing them properly. Something about trying to be fashionable rather than dressing for function seems less masculine to me (not trying to be offensive, just telling you why I feel this way). And IMO the whole point of vintage clothing, military, or work wear is that it was made for function and fashion had little to do with it — certainly the case with jeans.

Kind of strange to discuss what is basically an epitome of the clothing style of the era this forum is dedicated to...
Also I think most people around here enjoy wearing selvedge denim... it’s got to be cuffed..
I'm sure there are hundreds like it, but this is the one I've read.

I haven't cuffed my jeans since I was in grade school in the late 50s. Not sure why people do it today.
