Glad you made this video! Its true as we get older the perception may be that we are sloppy by not paying attention to this small detail. Thanks for all the great content you make in your channel and share with us all John!

Love this video. I truly believe...cuffing is ones own style and how you feel when you look in the mirror. I am 47 years young and started cuffing my jeans this year (showing ankle...with a very low sock or a no-show sock) and it looks really good I think. I have gotten so many compliments this year on my "new" look (not just my pant cuffing), it's been so nice. I would like to thank you for some of this John, I watch your videos and after losing 80 pounds, my entire "look" (wardrobe) has obviously changed!!!👍

I really like your style, it's very simular to mine, in the past year I've stepped up my game,thanx for the tips

I think some of my favorite videos is when you cover men’s fashion and your “personal opinions.” I am fortunate to have a great seamstress 5 minutes from my home & I have taken quite a few pants to have them taken up and narrowed. John, I still think you are the person men (at least I) would hire for a consultation & shopping expedition.

I know a few years back, pants (chino and jeans) everyone was letting them bunch up and that was the look. But now with pants slimming down, I think it doesn’t look good breaking/bunching up too much as before. Yeah. I have some new pants and need to hem them bc I normally buy 32” lengths but on the slimmer chinos, they look not right. I think part of this is bc many are wearing slimmer chinos with no break or higher to show their ankles and shoes. Thanks for the video.

Good stuff John, thank you.

Thanks for the good video on pants length.

I am 5'5 tall and I have all my pants tailored for a no-break look that touches the shoe and taper with a 28 inseam and 7.5 leg opening. This helps us as a short men to accentuate good clean look and height.

Excellent info. I'm gonna try the SANDWICH IN THE CUFF idea. 😂 Excellent info. I have had trouble finding my proper length of pants. I'm short; 5ft 8. Short legs; 29 or 30 length. I like your rules. Thank you.

Very good. Thank you! To anyone. Is a jean or chino pinch cuff still work in 2022?

Informative video. But for me, though I prefer the "straight leg" version of jeans and chinos, my rather thick calves make me a bit self-conscious about that style. When I get up from a seated position, my straight-leg trousers are caught on my thick calves and while standing, I wonder if the trousers look too narrow. Recommendations?

Thanks John!

Great info ! Formal attire should be worn with no cuff, and at least touching the top of the shoe or with a slight break in the front. While the over all "high water" look exposing the ankle , or contrasting length dropping below the heel in the back of the shoe are no go's. Thanks for sharing . . .

Great video John, at least in my opinion :)

Hi john. May i know what shoes u were wearing with the white chinos (orange shoes) and also w the jeans (black shoes)? Thanks

John, You always emphasize that pants should be tapered starting from the knee. I have a denim given to me by my brother that is slightly flared. What can I do to make myself more "fashionable" by not altering the pants. More power to you and your channel. By the way, I'm from the Philippines.

Great John 👍👌

I think it should be noted that if the length is just above the shoe or with minimal break than when sitting it will expose the leg and socks more than you might like. So I think just a tad bit of a break is just enough.

Thanks for this, John. I’m 6’4”, and it’s nearly impossible to find the right length in my waist size, 38”. My tailor will be seeing a lot of me!

Hi again, when will you talk about T-shirt?

Are these single monk strap dark grey/ black shoes from Santoni?

Hi, which sneakers are those at 2:18,first I thought they were greats royale but I see they are not?

Whether is it short, medium and long break all three choices are of individual preference. I prefer the old school style of dressing. I like to wear high waist pants, semi baggy cut with long droop break and one and a half inch cuff of course. Dressing is a very subjective preference. To each their best.

It's good you made this video, but it would be good to know what would be general guide to how much taper form the knee down. Or how much would a typical hem width be (measuring one side flat ). Also with regards the length touching the shoe, ( I know this might be silly question ) would this be still valid if wearing socks ?

Well John I've gotta say that I definitely have a case of shoe envy after watching todays' video. I'm really diggin' those monk straps you were wearing. Brand? Peace. :)

Cuffs to me are a bit too much of a 'just stepped off the yacht' nautical look, and best worn with a pair of deck shoes. You just can't beat good tailoring for a quality looking hem. Love the video's John, keep 'em coming.

Unfortunately I am between inseam length so I usually have to have my pants hemmed. My tailor retired and I haven’t found a new one yet. Lots of seamstresses around, but not many real tailors.

Suspenders can help to fine tune the cuff length.

I tried the cuffed jeans look for about five minutes but honestly, I just felt it made me look like I bought jeans too long and just said "F it". In the past (when I was in junior high and actually had pants that were too long) I just couldn't get them to stay cuffed/rolled up. At some point they just fall down and get stepped on, which is very annoying especially when raining or in the winter. Personally, I feel properly hemmed jeans or any other type pants is the safest way to go. Pinrolling may be in right now but what about a year or two from now? I just can't be bothered to follow fashion that closely.

I love this, though i was not expecting to lough until the other guy made a comparison of cuff being same size as sandwich 😁😂😂😂😂

Agree on most of what you've said except for the 'excessive tapering' issue that seems to still be prevalent today. I really don't think it works well for classic style dress trousers especially if u have an athletic build (muscular thighs and calves) and start looking like u have legs like a string of sausages a la Daniel Craig! It also accentuates big feet which look like large rowboats, clownish! Middle of the road would be my recommendation .

my big thing is, I don't like it when the hem of my pant gets caught in the back of my shoe... which is why I go a little longer. A little break in front... and coverage in the back...

Hi Jon, may I give you all a buying recommendation, even if slightly out of topic? buy clothes in your home country!!! people from different areas of the world have different body proportions, legs length/girth/waist rate, shirts torso/shoulder/sleeves/collar rate. I come from a Mediterranean country and I live in the UK. I hardly find clothes that fit my body shape in the UK (I'm 179cm, 65kg, in metric system).

No elastic in pants. Nowhere. Not even in the fabric.

Good basic knowledge as usual. Finding someone to shorten jeans is not as easy as it sounds. Special equipment is necessary to do it properly and asking for 1/2" shorter adds a major expense to the already overpriced item.

You are stylish and handsome.

It's a great video about men's pants length. Jeans or pants too long are ugly. When it's too short (when your socks are visible), even if it's a trend right now, it's not nice neither. One break is perfect. I am not a fan of cuffed jeans or chinos. In my opinion it's better to have them tailored.

Massive cuffs on any trouser (see 4:45) is the exact reason why so many take the piss out of US fashion. That look was in during the 1990’s, never since.
