I usually mention the forum when I call up shops. It's a good way of explaining why they have someone contacting them for 1000 miles away for a pair of shoes.

I think the shop owners really appreciate it, too. To know there's a community out there they can channel. I mean, some shops even have plants on the boards.

Some shops ended up getting those instead of Digi Florals for some reason, they already see the L coming from a mile away.

The coolest kids in 1986 had tight-rolled pant cuffs. Of course, I was one of those cool kids. From what I can remember, tight-rolling hit the LA/OC area in about 1986, and remained a fashion trend until about 1990.

Many have speculated just where the fad started. I believe it came from the boy-band craze surrounding “New Kids on the Block.”

Below, I have demonstrated the steps in properly tight rolling your trousers. Some kids back in the day used safety pins to hold the rolls in place, but that was a definite amateur way to do it. A properly tight-rolled pant leg would at least withstand the rigors of your first and second period classes before needing a refresh.

I also notice that the Old Navy pants I am wearing in the pictures were not made for tight rolling.

The best “pegged” cuffs were achieved on Levi’s 501 button-fly jeans, and Bugle Boy khakis. Some may also remember the Bugle Boy pants that revealed a little design on the underside of the pants, so when you tight-rolled them, you'd reveal a paisley pattern on the rollup.




Start by pulling the cuff out completely.




Next, fold over as far as possible without cutting off the circulation. If you have "cankles," tight rolling is not possible.




Roll cuffs up twice. Notice how the crease extends all the way up to the knee. This is important to achieve the proper "pegged" look.




Next, lose the socks! No respectable 80s kids wore socks! LOL




The finished look is clean, neat and cool.

Bugle Boys, Cavariccis, & Skidz were my ish. I tight-rolled the same method as you, except I always did my fold along my inseem so it's not visible like yours is on the shin. I believe your time frame is on point for Miami too.
