Tips for Perfect Jean Fit

Bring Your Shoes

Always bring the shoes you'll wear with the jeans to your fitting. Heel height dramatically affects proper jean length.

Consider Shrinkage

Raw denim and some washes shrink with first wash. Wash jeans before alterations, or we can account for future shrinkage.

Size Up for Alterations

When buying jeans, it's better to size up. We can easily take jeans in, but letting out is limited by seam allowance.
