I'm pretty short (5'6-7) and the smallest jeans I could find are 29x30. (these are levis 513). So they're a bit longer than what I would like. Can a tailor easily fix this? Take off an inch or two while keeping the bottom sticking? How much would it cost?

Why is that?

>> No.6831459

Yes you can and should get them tailored.
Tailoring jeans or any pants for that matter is incredibly easy. All it is is cutting the bottoms off and then overlocking, and re-rolling the ends. It's so fucking easy I do it myself with a sewing machine.
As for cost, it should be fairly cheap. $10 maybe? No need to go find an expensive highly skilled tailor either. Any chink with a sewing machine and needle can do it.

Stacks are where pants (usually jeans) bunch up creating a stacked look. Google Kanye West if you want to see sick stacks.

these are stax, they look very cool on people with thin legs, even if you're short, your proportions just have to be good.

getting any piece of denim modified will cost you $20, which is 2/3 of the price of the levi's so it's really not worth it.

invest <$200 on some raws and get those tailored if you'd like.

I wear a 30x30 sometimes a 32L and 6'0 so it's a common issue for many.

the main reason I wouldn't visit /fit/ if I was him is because they relentlessly bash manlets

Damn I like that

Does anyone know any designers that make extra long jeans? I'm 6'4 and 34's barely give me any stax...

I know that feel bro, 6'4'' too, but even for my already tall height I have very long legs

Hemming trousers is easy, all of my pants have been hemmed and it's one of the most common tasks my mother does for my father, uncles, friends, friend's husbands, etc. If you want to keep the orange contrast stitching the tailor can attempt to color match it with new thread or occasionally I've heard of tailors picking out the stitching and reusing the thread to hem the jeans. It usually just color match the thread.

Another possibility I've heard is cutting off the bottom hem and reattaching it along the crease to keep the original stitching and hem. Personally I've never done it or seen anyone do it.

Pretty sure your shoes are like 5 sizes too big,

getting shit hemmed in LA is like $20 at any tailor, I've never done it because I only own two pairs of raws and those fit on point, and like I said it's not worth getting $50 jeans modified.

I have a pair of black raws that are pretty long but they are as stiff as cardboard so I haven't really worn them

OP here. So yeah, if $20, probably not worth it. Can I just roll them? Would that look bad?

513's? def not, just wear them higher at waist if you can.
i cannot stress it enough that you try and invest on a pair of raws.

That's the third method I mentioned. Most people just cut the pants about 1" longer then the final length, use a serger to overlock the raw edge, roll it twice, and use a straight stitch.
