Very informative video. I didn’t know it is appropriate to maintain a couple pair of cuffed pants in my wardrobe. I always thought that cuffs or no cuffs were dependent upon whether they are in or out of style at the moment. Good advice! The pictures in the video show you wearing two pair of double monk strap shoes; one brown and one black pair. I’m looking to add a pair of double monk straps to my wardrobe. Do you have a ‘go to’ brand to purchase your double monks? Any advice for me as to where to look? Thanks much.

I would recommend Allen Edmonds. One of the few brands still made in the USA, full goodyear welted (not glued), overall great quality. I have a couple pairs, and absolutely love them. They've lasted far longer than my Johnson Murphey's (trash compared to AE), are super comfortable, and will likely outlive me if I take care of them well.

You have to tell them. The ones here have no clue why you would want pants to YOUR chosen length! I think their techniques revolve around doing the same thing for everybody, because whoever visits them don't have a clue what kind of alteration/modification they need for their clothes. It's a shame, I think on the people and not the businesses. That's how far out of touch we are right now with style.

I own numerous black lounge ensembles, also known as stresemann suits, and some odd cashmere striped trousers, all from the 1920s, 30s and 40s, and one or two of them have turn ups. This may be because of the informal nature of the black lounge ensemble compared to morning dress, and it would thus add a distinction of the difference in formality.

For example, one suit has a very nipped waist, no pleats, already sans cuffs so left, and to add to the clean appearance, removed the belt loops after adjusting the waist perfectly. Now knowing from previous Rafael presentations cuffs add weight to improve drape, I wear them comfortably and see the difference.

🤔 I swear to high heavens I came to the same conclusion on my own as you also mentioned as my own rule for cuffing. It’s the pleated/non pleated high quality of the dress trousers and it’s fabric thread count quality. Flat front, I uncuff hem it. If it’s high quality fabric and thread with pleated front, I cuff it with no more than a medium cuff and being 5 8”. If it’s high quality fabric with flat front I give it no cuffs in a regular hem.

I enjoy varying cuff size between pairs of trousers, personally. It adds a little more versatility to my wardrobe at no extra cost, and is low-risk,. That said, my first ever pair of cuffed trousers were given a “default” cuff size of 1”, which just looks terrible on me (not really fit for anybody, I think). It’s as though the trousers were cuffed with the expectation that they would be immediately un-cuffed! It goes to show, you can’t be half-hearted when it comes to the decision to cuff your trousers

Very informative video and I did enjoy it but I do have to say you are very mistaken about cuffs on jeans. Cuffs on jeans have been around as long as the garment has existed from miners cuffing them to keep them from fraying, to bikers doing it for roughly the same reason, to 50-70s cowboys often doing it as a sort of ash tray for their Marlboro cigarettes. Even today cuffs are popular, especially with the resurgence of selvedge denim so as to show the "selvedge ID" which is a unique edging to the material. Now of course the raw/selvedge denim community, or denim-heads, have been around since the 80/90s you only have seen them really get popular recently. But even in Preppy fashion cuffed jeans have been persistent for years as a style staple. So although I love the videos I do think you miss it when it comes to jeans and their subtle history in fashion, especially Prep fashion.
