Why almost every single raw denim guy cuff their jeans? Do they even come in right size lol?

also sometimes it is legitimately because the jeans are too long. certain raw denim companies sell their jeans in a single length for you to hem when you buy them. either way, most people cuff their pants, raw denim or not.

to show off their sick selvedge obviously

to show off the selvedge yeah, and also because it's a more traditional look. it was more practical to have your jeans cuffed over your boots so they would get worn out less.

People are lazy/poor and don't hem things.

Why does anybody wear a belt? Does nobody buy their pants in the right waist size? It is a part of that style you maroon

Couple of thoughts here, with the hopes that some of them will be insightful. While I do appreciate the idea of perfectly fitting jeans, I think that these uber-designer concepts take denim to a place that is far from its roots. As workwear, denim had a history of being a "buy it and wear it" item. Good fit came from soaking and wearing, not from tailoring. If I'm remembering correctly, the first Levi's came in only 3 sizes. In many respects, fading comes not from a perfect fit, but from an imperfect one.

That said, $1,200 isn't unheard of for a pair of jeans. Momotaro sells their kimono-loom-woven jeans for upwards of $1,500. I'll personally stick with my off-the-shelf selvage. When my jeans are too long, I cuff them. That's what people did from the 1880s until the 1950s, and if it was good enough for them, it's good enough for me.

Not super relevant, but curious: is it a bad idea to cuff pants as a short guy (5'7")? Mainly worried it'll make me look shorter or poorly proportioned
