A method of forming a cuff in a garment, said method comprising:
- forming an opening in a sewn circumferential hem in the garment;
- inserting an elongated flexible strip through the formed opening in the circumferential hem, the elongated strip having opposing ends and opposing longitudinal edges, the opposing longitudinal edges defining therebetween a width of the flexible strip;
- and positioning the flexible strip in the circumferential hem of a pants leg, such that the opposing ends of the flexible strip are closely spaced-apart at a vertical crease of the pants leg;
- simultaneously folding the circumferential hem and the inserted flexible strip, such that the flexible strip creates a generally stiff and stabilized shaped cuff having a width substantially corresponding to the width of the flexible strip.
