Trouser legs that drag on the floor

Short answer: If the trousers drag, the edge wears quickly and the trousers get dirty at the bottom. The answer is a shorter inside leg length or a model with a ribbed cuff.

Wear at the edge

The edge is the first thing to wear when the trousers touch the floor. It cannot be repaired neatly.

The inside leg length

Measure the inside leg on a pair of trousers that has the right length. See the measuring guide.

Ribbed cuff

A ribbed cuff at the bottom holds the leg above the ankle. See bamboo sweatpants for men.

Taking up

Firm trousers can be taken up. Soft jersey trousers rarely look good afterwards.

For women

See the corresponding models in bamboo sweatpants for women.

For home use

If the trousers only drag indoors, the wear is less. See loungewear in bamboo for men.

Washing

Wash the trousers inside out, so the edge wears least. See the washing guide.

Worn indoors

If the trousers only drag indoors, the wear is slower, but they still get dirty at the bottom. A couple of centimetres shorter makes a noticeable difference. See bamboo sweatpants for women.
