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.

I'm feeling these. I'd like to see them in person but it's more than likely a cop for me!

Thanks! Do you guys recommend going TTS on these? or would it be tight fit because of the canvas material?

I usually go down .5 from my dunk size for Janoskis
Janoskis are suuuuper tight brand new but break in and stretch a lot
I saw a guy wearing slip on janos last night though --

The navy pair is a definite cop for me. I really like the Kentucky pair I've already got. Will cop as soon as I spot a decent discount.
