I want to tell the seamstress a width to make sure they don't make them too wide or narrow.

Generally, 1.5-1.75". I'm not a fan of the big 2" cuff, not with my 30" inseam.

+1 -- 1.75

Most tailors think 1.5" is standard. I just go with that.

2 inches or none at all.

1.75 "- 2" are my options

 

[eyedoc2180]

1.75 inches for me. I recently took a pair of unhemmed BB flannels to my local lady, and she was shocked, SHOCKED I say, at my request. She generally does them at 1.25 to 1.5 inches. The pants turned out perfectly, due to her skill rather than her judgement. Bill :devil:

 

[Reddington]

1.5" for me.

 

[mcarthur]

1.75 for me

 

[Reddington]

Hmmmmm....thinking I need to try 1.75" now. My tailor always does 1.5", but gonna try a larger cuff.

Cheers.

That's the spirit. It really does work, with the additional weight giving the pant leg a cleaner line. AAAC put me on to the right path, but I never believed it until I tried it! Bill

I agree with you 100%. Nothing, and I mean nothing will make short legs look even shorter and heavier than a big 2" cuff. I have always opted for the 1.5" and thats as big as I can go without looking like Gary Coleman.:icon_smile_big:

I think it depends on how tall you are...on my shorter clients I have done 1.25 - 1.5 ...taller clients 1.5 - 1.75 and really big guys 2 (I always ask what they prefer but usually they defer to me)

 

[CactusMark]

1.5 seemed like it wasn't enough and 1.75 seemed at tad much (I'm approx. 5'9") so I split the difference and went with 1.625 (1 5/8). I'm happy with my decision. My tailor must think I'm crazy, perhaps he's right.

I am glad you aren't my client!! :icon_smile_big:

 

[Desk Jockey]

Always a 1.75". Never anything less and never any more.

 

[jeansguy]

I'm 5'11", and go with a 1.75" cuff. It's perfect.

 

[Jovan]

I like a 1.75" or 2" cuff. I am 6'1 and quite thin with a 40" chest.

 

[boatshoe]

an important question

My late tailor, Giuseppe, once gave me 1.5 inch cuffs. Luckily my man-servant Hervé was able to hide his body in my Barbour Wax Cotton Travel Explorer and dispose of him in the marshes off Amagansett.

Alas, I wear no cuffs on any of my pants, or pantsings, if you will.

I think you'll like them, once I took the plunge on one pair, anything less than 1.75" just didn't look right.
