break? rolled up? - denim talk

Recently, I bought a new pair of jeans. What always gets me is deciding on the length. I bet everyone has a specific length or personality in wearing a pair. Roll'em? No Break? No alterations? Personally, when I buy a new pair of jeans(I only buy raw denim), I wash them so that it shrinks. Then, I get them altered so that there is 5cm or 2inches of extra length when I roll them with no break. I don't really remember the true reasons for deciding on this length but, I feel that its the flexibility thats gotten me to this habit.

最近、新しいデニムを入手しました。でも、いつも長さで迷います。皆それぞれ好きな長さや折り返し方があると思いますが、個人的には新しく購入したデニムは一度水洗いをしてから長さを変えます。長さは折り返してノークッションの状態で５センチ余りが自己流です。なぜこのやり方にたどり着いたかは忘れましだが守備範囲が広いところが気に入ってます

My recent favorite is rolling up twice so the left over is a slim one. About 2.5cm. My other favorite is rolling it up once and leaving 5cm of extra. (looks great with baggy denim)

最近のブームは二回折り返して、余りの部分を細くするか、一度の折り返しで５センチあまり。（太めのデニムは５センチ折が好きです）

There must be as many ways of wearing jeans as the number of people on this planet and I bet small details like this define personal style. Do you have your favorite ways? Its great trying out variations and finding the perfect one.

デニム履き方は百人十色と言えるぐらいヴァリエーションがあるでしょう。こうした事がパーソナルスタイルに貢献しているのは言うまでもありませんね。皆さんは好きな履き方やこだわりお持ちですが？
