Cuffing your denim can add a unique touch to your style while also adjusting the length if your jeans are too long. In the past, denim was often worn with cuffs because different length options weren’t available yet. Even today, many denim enthusiasts still prefer cuffing, especially to showcase the selvedge denim they wear.
Originally, cuffing was mostly done because denim fabrics were typically unsanforized, like some raw denim or selvedge found in the Pride N'Joy collection.meaning they could shrink up to 10% after the first wash. To compensate, people would buy jeans longer than needed and roll them up to achieve the right length. Over time, sanforized denim technology was developed to reduce shrinkage to just 1-3%, allowing for more varied length options and making cuffing less of a necessity.
Although denim now comes in different lengths, cuffing remains a distinct styling choice. Beyond functionality, different types of cuffs offer unique looks that can enhance your outfit. Here are some of the most common cuffing styles:
1. Single Cuff
The single cuff is the simplest and most classic style. It involves folding the hem of the denim up once to create a clean and neat look. This cuff is ideal for a casual yet effortless appearance.
2. Double Cuff
As the name suggests, the double cuff is made by rolling up the hem twice. This cuff is usually smaller and tighter than the single cuff, creating a more relaxed and modern look. It’s a great way to adjust the length without drawing too much attention to the fold.
3. Big Cuff
The big cuff is a wider fold, usually around 2 to 3 inches high. This style is often used by denim enthusiasts to highlight the selvedge ID of their denim. It also gives a bold and striking look, making it perfect for those who want to showcase the details of high-quality denim.
4. Inside Cuff
The inside cuff is a cuffing technique where the hem is folded inward instead of outward. This style creates a clean and minimalist look, especially for those who want to adjust the length of their denim without making the cuff a visible part of their outfit.
5. Uncuffed
Not all denim needs to be worn with a cuff. Wearing denim uncuffed provides a sleeker and more formal look. This style is often preferred when the length is already perfect or when aiming for a more polished and modern appearance.
Each cuffing style has its own unique characteristics and can be adjusted to suit personal preferences and the type of denim being worn. With Pride N Joy’s denim collection, whether selvedge or non-selvedge, you can experiment with different cuffing techniques to find the style that best matches your personality.
