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.

Genuine enquiry: Are turn-ups on trousers only the reserve of traditionalist dressers in the US nowadays? Or are they seen on others as well, for example, mixed with a casual shirt and trainers, as was quite common in the UK in the 70s and 80s?

I ask because I haven't seen a pair of trousers with turn-ups in a shop for years, in Sweden or the UK (on the odd occasion when I'm back in ol' blighty)

I really don't see them that often in casual dress. Thinking of my group of friends, I can only think of one who wears cuffed trousers casually with sneakers. But he also happens to be my one friend who also dresses traditionally during the work week.
