Awesome. I assume the child will have a leather jacket shortly.Two inches turned up might just swamp this guy, but then again he's only 20 weeks old. They may not be of a designer make but they are bespoke. My missus made them.

I could never do this. I wanted to, but cuffed jeans made me feel all sorts of foolish. On others, they always looked better.
One thing I won’t do is double the cuff. Just a single flip. If they are long enough to to double cuff I’ll hem the length for only a single.
The point with vintage jeans or their repros is that they shrink and you sometimes don't have a clue how much they actually shrink. Levi's Vintage Clothing line for one is notorious for the inconsistency of shrinkage on the same model from year to year. So while your LVC 55501 produced in 2009 shrinks one size, your newly acquired 2020 LVC 55501 may not shrink at all despite what they state on the Levi's website. The solution is to buy long then alter them or cuff them. To keep up with the vintage look, you can choose to cuff them in stead of altering them.I will never understand the need for adults to cuff or turn up their jeans. By your age, you should be buying clothes that fit and wearing them properly. Something about trying to be fashionable rather than dressing for function seems less masculine to me (not trying to be offensive, just telling you why I feel this way). And IMO the whole point of vintage clothing, military, or work wear is that it was made for function and fashion had little to do with it — certainly the case with jeans.
