If a dress or suit doesn’t fit right, getting it altered may be your first thought. However, it may not occur to you to do the same with ill-fitting jeans. Tailored jeans will improve your confidence throughout your week, as you can wear them regularly. Having them tailored is a quick process, and it’s inexpensive. 

What Are Common Issues Jeans Wearers Face?

A primary issue many people face when it comes to new jeans is the length. When the inseam is too long, you’ll find yourself stepping on the bottom of your pants frequently—eventually resulting in frayed ends. 

Another common problem is getting the right leg fit. Jean manufacturers don’t create enough sizes to fit each person perfectly, and bagginess around the thighs or calves is common. To avoid this, many people wear sizes that are too small, causing them discomfort.

Another clear problem is a gaping waistband. This occurs because most designs don’t factor in different body sizes and shapes. If you have to go up a waist size solely to get the jeans to fit more comfortably on your hips, legs, or another area, it can result in a waistband that protrudes.

How Will Tailored Jeans Improve the Fit?

Thankfully, most fitting issues can be quickly repaired by a tailor for an affordable rate. If your pants are too long, they can remove the original hem, cut off any excess fabric—after measuring you while wearing shoes—and re-attach it. 

If the legs or too droopy, they will take in some of the material by either cutting excess fabric or sewing it along the inside of the jeans. If you only need the thigh or calf portion altered, it may be necessary to make changes to other areas as well. Tailoring the waist is trickier, but it can be done by a skilled tailor. However, if you need more than one-and-a-half inches taken in, it may slightly change the shape of the jeans.
