But I never heard it called anything else.

If you see offensive comments, just let it go into one eye and let it out of the other eye, no tears and not sadness or anger.

ABC-Always Be Cuffing
Nothing I do deserves more than an iphone camera.

I am glad I did that the ten or more years ago now because the other ones that I left long just feel weird when I cuff them up, even though I wear them more just going out sometimes.
Brimmo how is your stash of 874's these days? Have you noticed a change in the new ones, say after 2018?

I know a clip broke very quickly on one new pair I saw. I had one clip break a long time ago when I was trying different sizes, these ones just 34 so were tight in the waist compared to my usual 36 when I realised about the sizes, but the clip didn't give up easily.You had some interesting issues with newer versions?

Normally a pair of 874 Originals will last years to the average skateboarder but over the last couple of years i'm noticing a more synthetic feel to the pants I've been given or brought and they just dont seem to be as durable as back when yourself and others got me onto them. I just got a couple of new ones and will test... but I'm going to try the old frangdangle trick of washing the hell of them first before skating in them.

Cuff. Fun fact: Mike Carroll said the only reason people had the cut off high waters way back when was because they fucked up and cut off too much. Now it's the go to thing for a lot of skaters.
whats your favorite go to method? i usually just do the half cuff, not 1 whole cuff, or use scissors and cut them highwater style
Always cuff, if I can find pants long enough I'll do the double cuff and that is the best.
Cuff mine
