How to get lighter pants fabrics to stay cuffed?
I'm trying to cuff some outlier yes pants, and I want to be sure they won't unroll, especially when moving a lot since I wear them when walking in the morning. I don't want to worry that I'm going to step on them at any time. I've had a similar problem with linen pants in the past, but even linen is a bit crisper than the rami used on these.
Ironing wouldn't be ideal, and I don't like the look of pinrolling them or doing anything else that might affect the silhouette or airflow. Are there any other tricks I could use aside from maybe folding a larger cuff?

A stitch or two would go a long way if you're really dedicated to the cuffed look
At the inseam and outseam maybe
ironing the cuff might help
I might do that eventually, but I also like being able to do both cuffed or uncuffed. for now I'm also still deciding on color and not sure which pairs might be going back
would that even work on rami? it seems like it would lose any shape immediately
Oops, missed the part where you mentioned ramie. I don't know if it would hold a crease so maybe ironing wouldn't be helpful at all
Safety pin on the inside of the cuff instead of stitches?
