- Tight rolled pants

Tight rolled jeans.
Tight rolled pants, or more commonly called pegged pants, was a fad of the late 1980s early 1990s in which girls and boys would tight-roll the bottoms of their jeans or any pants that they wore. On full length pants tight rolling is performed by taking up the slack around the ankles at the hem of the pants, folding the extra material over and then rolling upwards 2 or 3 times over. A proper tight-roll should have the extra material folded inward across the lower shin. The use of safety pins was key to a good roll, but to the experienced tight roller they can be achieved without them.
Proper tight rolled pants will have an extreme taper to the ankle with a skin tight hem.
Tight-rolled pants are occasionally seen today among scene or youth culture people and are sometimes referred to as French rolled pants.[citation needed] It can also be referred to as "pinch rolled", "pegged" or "pegging" your pants.
