Cuffing tuxedo pants?

[Joel_Cairo]

Since joining SF, I've adopted the local custom of cuffing any and all articles of clothing which cover my legs, but now I have a conundrum: I just got a new tux, and I'm unsure how to proceed... Does even a Tux get the obligatory SF cuff?

No way.

It gets no cuff, the tux.

phew, that's what I thought.

NO!

 

[greekonomist]

no, no, one thousand times no!

Brooks Brothers display 2 pairs of tuxedo trousers with cuffs on their website. I cannot fathom how they decided this was a good idea. And I recall seeing it pre-Black Fleece, so we can't blame Thom Browne.

I'm surprised at the OP..

No cuffs, you need to stack those puppies!

No cuff on the tux, and why auto-cuff your other trousers? I tend to prefer a straight leg, particularly on flat-front trousers.

>3,000 posts and you needed to ask this question? What, did no one take up any of the know-it-all slack while I was gone?

I think 2200 of those were about Obama, so it's cool.

Cambridge, so pro? Or is he a Mansfield student?

This was the first time I've ever cut the tags off a tux and brought it to a tailor, so it's simply never come up before. Only other time I've even worn one was to my high school prom, the ffiner details of which we need not get into.

Guilty as charged. Though if AF or any of the other right-wingers in the CEsspool had thought to bring up the way Obama wears his tux-trews, you can bet I'd have fired up LexisNexis and hunted down info apropos to the counterspin. As always, I'm gonna blame this one on a right-wing conspiracy.
