Yes, you can have no or almost no break and still have narrow leg openings. Otherwise you'll show socks standing up.

^Wow, those look wonderful. I need to go back!

I can make some drawings :>

Have you figured out how to do slanted cuffs? I haven't. Would love to see drawings.

I'm pretty sure Despos has a niftier way that involves heating, stretching and pressing fabric but this definitely worked when I folded paper :O



For this folding technique all we need is the front and back length f and b respectively, the height of the cuff and the angle.



So if we assume a leg opening of 20cm, equal front and back length of 10cm and an offset of half an inch, i.e. 12.7mm we get can calculate the angle α:

α=(arctan(12.7mm/200mm))*180/pi => α = 3.63340364° ~ 4°

For a 50mm cuff it would look like this:












On second thought a faux cuff might be 20 times easier.

Amazing! This is truly a work of art.

it reminds us of our long initial struggle to make it work and the end result has never been half as beautiful.

Wow, interesting work, Clapy. Would the cut fabric be visible (on the outside or inside) when everything's stitched together?

This is an unusual and incredible way of angling a cuffed hem. When I've done this to my own trousers, I relied mostly on aggressive stretching and heating. I want to try this approach on fabric now...

Deets on the left two?

The **** fabric would be hidden on the inside. In the last step the cross hatched area when folded along the slant to the inside, will form a straight edge. I suggest folding first and then cutting.

The entire necessary additional trouser length for a cuff of the height h and angle α would come down to 3*h + f*tan(α) and 3*h + 2*b*tan(α).











But I'm not a tailor...

I think I love you man.

Every time I come across some good green oxford, I think of you and google Miles Davis Green to compare the color, has been elusive so far.

We could get it overdyed, but, that would sadly end the search.

Thanks for keeping my request in mind! Hopefully it won't be an endless search.

What is the appeal of a military hem? Less break while still covering your socks from the back?

Yes. Essentially it gives you the choice of how much break (if any) you want while still maintaining the proper length in the back.

Cheers,

@Luxire, would it be feasible for you to manufacture leather gloves as well? Any estimate of cost?

As of what I last heard, they're working on leather gloves, but it's not up to their standards or ready for mass ordering yet.

I'm using a prepaid DHL label to ship a sample shirt from the US to India. The instructions Luxire supplied in the email simply indicate that I should put the label on the package. Is that really it? No need for any customs paperwork? I'll include a copy of the pro forma invoice and a note inside the package, but I'm a bit wary of sending an expensive shirt around the globe with so little info attached.
