Hemming Pants
So I have a few pairs of pants that are just a tiny bit too long on the inseam (like maybe 1 inch or so) and I'm wondering what are people's preference when it comes to hemming the pants vs cuffing or just folding up the bottoms of the pants and just when you go for each one

depends on the pants for me. jeans, chinos etc. I don't hem so I have options for styling. not all pants look good cuffed tho
i've never had success with folding up the inside of pants tbh. but the good news is that hemming pants that don't stay folded is usually easier than the ones that do haha
what do you typically do for each
the two pants that are in the pile to take to the seamstress are like one pair of wool pants that I'm leaning towards hemming, then a pair of vintage PRL Andrews that I'm leaning a tiny bit more towards cuffing but am unsure if I should just keep them folded
idk it just depends on the vibe of the pants
like wide flowy thin pants dont hold cuffs well so I either let them pool or hem them to no break or higher
denim holds cuffs well, sometimes i want them higher sometiems i want them lower so i dont hem them
theres no one answer
Go to a tailor for everything but jeans 👍
