Re: Javelin In The Foot
For those proper English speakers, that is to say 'American English', I'll translate. Turn-ups = pant cuffs ******************************* A little turn-ups/cuff trivia from Wikipedia: "Trouser cuffs Most trouser legs are finished by hemming the bottom to prevent fraying. Trousers with turn-ups ("cuffs" in American English), after hemming, are rolled outward and sometimes pressed or stitched into place. The main reason for the cuffs is to add weight to the bottom of the leg, to help the drape of the trousers. Originally, however, it started as men rolling up their trousers to avoid getting mud splashed on them when roads were still unpaved." |
