| Is there a 'right' way to tie the pant cuffs? |
|
I dont wear boots. It just seems a 'bow' is not correct. Eric, I wear pants because it easier to carry my weapon. I have one of those underarmor things but I hate it even though it works. I like my Comp-Tac and it needs pants with a belt so its either jeans or BDUs. |
I lace up my boots then I tie the BDU pants about a inch about the boot, then I can blouse them. It looks pretty good.
No boots? Then cut - somewhow remove - that tie. ETA: let the cuffs flop around like any other pair of trousers. I saw a guy who wore tennis shoes and tied that tie - man that looked dorky. |
They're long enough that if I tie 'em they sorta blouse themselves over my sneakers. If I let them loose they would trip me.

Oh...OK. Then I'd cut them off. I always cut mine off. Then instead of using the blousing bands like some here have said, I grabbed the cuff and pulled all the slack behind my leg, then folded it over to the inside of my ankle. Then stuffed my foot in my boot. That's tough to describe in written words...  In real hot weather, not blousing and even rolling up the cuffs makes a big difference - at least to me it did. |
I've never looked for them, but if you have access to AAFES, you can search their site. ETA: I went to the AAFES site to look for a new CD player - I didn't see any metal blousing bands. That'll be $39.95.
