If you want a true 1960's look, the way I did it was a little different.
First, with a quality pair of sharp scissors, cut just above the hem of each cuff, all the way around the cuff, completely removing the thicker hem portion.
Next, place an old folded towel or other thick rag onto a table top or hard surface.
Then, laying one cuff on the towel, using a strong, preferably stainless steel, kitchen fork, drag the tines of the fork downward starting no more than an inch above the cut line, keeping your strokes perpindicular to the cut line.
Move back and forth across the cut line, between the inseam hem and the outseam hem.
You will be able to see in real time what your frayed cuff will look like.
Continue working this one section, using your scissors to cut and remove long strings that appear, until the length of the fray is uniform across and as long as you want.
Flip the same leg cuff over 180° and perform the same steps on the other side.
Then repeat the whole process on the other leg cuff.
Once finished, fine tune by lightly trimming away the longest threads and trimming the now separated inseam and outseam to an attractive length.
Note: be careful not to trim the threads in a perfect straight line. This causes a very unnatural look.

[@MegaVonStar]

What if the jeans are too long and you have to cut above the hem line? Will it still have the same effect?

[@juicygirl1019]

I'm was wondering the same thing?

[@mmhthree]

I hope it does, because that's what I'm fixing to do

[@m.p.r.6999]

Yes, and then wash your jeans in the machine

[@RubbelisPro]

Even more so, I used to do this with my hand me down jeans, you cut above the hem with some scissors, the less accurate the better, then you throw them in the washer and dryer and they'll fray on their own.

[@peace_ashet]

Thank you for keeping that short

[@huntingtonparkway]
