October is approaching fast and I am already thinking about hems and length.

What is acceptable #of folds for denim? One fold ? 2?3? Fold to shorten the length. Just trying to sort maximum # of folds so I don't look awkward .

Typically I like small one fold just to show selvedge on side .

I'd say go with whatever you like the look of & feel comfortable with.
I don't listen to others, I just do what I like.
That being said, I prefer only 1 fold.
I have varying lengths of cuff ranging from 2" to 5", depending on the denim weight,
jeans cut, & original inseam length.
On heavier denim I favour 2" cuff determined after soaking & wearing.

With the 21/23 denim I generally leave enough length for a single cuff and slight stacking. This way if they fray on the fold you can have them re-hemmed with no cuff.

Obviously this mans megadome is housing a massive brain as well.  This strategy regarding cuffing and length is pure genius and one that I employ as well for all of my jeans.  In other words, what he said ^^^^.

That's brilliant Mega, really. Probably a good idea considering how abrasive this fabric is.

BTW - are you ever gonna post more pics of these bad boys, just to tease us a bit… still almost a full month left of waiting  ???

[tailoredfamcam]

And I thought I was the only one that did that. I just adjust the cuff to cover the fray and I'll eventually get them repaired and/or hemmed.

I've heard it is important with denim-related tattoos:

Sweet ink!!!!!

Very cool @Lucifer 

So tomorrow I'm going to put away my beloved Pronto collabs and begin the long dual of breaking in the Namo Tako's. Wish me luck, they are slightly too small in the waist (or rather I'm slightly too large) and the UHR denim does not give in easily  ???

[Jett129]

That just might be the coolest tat I've ever seen.

Just waiting for the dates from Giles this October when these hit the IHUK shores for live purchase
