 * Keep and move to "Pegged pants", by far the more common term. A Google Books search shows this 1950s fashion trend discussed in dozens of books as something iconic of certain social groups of that era.  Cullen 328  Let's discuss it  06:48, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
 * 1950s? If you look up "peg-top trousers" as well, you'll see that these were a fashion in the 19th century, long before the incorporation into the zoot suit.  Twice: once in the 1860s and again in the 1890s (continuing into the 1900s).  Yes, our article is spectacularly uninformative and misleading on the subject.

 * Well, for a recentist like me it's not bad, though it fails to point out the connection between Benetton and rolled-up trousers, and the essential preppiness of their practitioners. Drmies (talk) 15:22, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge to Cuff. It's merely a trivial variation. Lady  of  Shalott  17:15, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge to Cuff along with the photo for illustration of the variation. Losing this detail would be unfortunate. --gilgongo (talk) 20:43, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge - notable but not much here, so bring the two articles together. Bearian (talk) 20:50, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
