Common Pants Alterations
Pants Hemming
The most common alteration - shortening pants to the perfect length. We offer plain hem, cuff hem, and blind hem options. Bring the shoes you'll wear with the pants for accurate length.

Cuff Hem: Contact us for timing and pricing
Lined/Formal: Contact us for timing and pricing
Waist Alterations
Pants too big or too small in the waist? We take in the waist by adjusting the center back seam (1-3 sizes) or let out if there's seam allowance. Maintains original front design.
Take In Waist: Contact us for timing and pricing
Let Out Waist: Contact us for timing and pricing
Leg Tapering
Create a slimmer, more modern fit by tapering the leg from knee or thigh down. Popular for dress pants, chinos, and casual pants. Maintains comfort in seat and thigh while slimming the lower leg.

Dress Pants Hemming Options
Plain Hem

Cuff Hem
Creates a folded cuff at the bottom (typically 1.5"). More formal appearance. Standard for dress pants and suit pants.

Blind Hem
Nearly invisible hemming from the outside. Used for formal pants and lined trousers where hem stitching shouldn't be visible.

Perfect Pants Length Guide
Dress Pants Length
Dress pants should have a slight break - the fabric just touches the top of your shoe and creates a small crease. For no-break style (modern fit), pants should just reach the top of your shoe with no creasing.
Standard: Slight break at front
Casual Pants Length
Casual pants like chinos can be worn with no break for a modern, clean look. For a more relaxed style, a slight break is acceptable. Cropped pants should end 1-2" above the ankle.
Modern: No break preferred
Work Pants Length
Work pants for steel-toed boots should be longer to cover the boot top while standing. Account for boot height when determining hem length. Safety is priority.
Function: Must cover safety footwear
Athletic Pants Length
Athletic pants and joggers typically end at the ankle or slightly above. The elastic cuff should sit comfortably without bunching. Length depends on personal style preference.
Style: Ankle length or above

Tips for Perfect Pants Fit
Always Bring Your Shoes
The shoes you wear with your pants dramatically affect proper length. Bring dress shoes for dress pants, work boots for work pants. Heel height matters!
Consider Multiple Pairs
Need several pants hemmed? Bring them all at once. We can process multiple pairs together, often with faster turnaround and potential bulk pricing.
Size Up When Buying
When purchasing new pants, buy for your seat and thigh fit. We can easily hem length and take in the waist. It's harder to add fabric than remove it.
