Does anyone know of a tailor who will slim down a pair of pants? I have 2 pairs of True Religion pants that I got as gifts and I usually wear skinny/slim fit pants so the TR's obviously don't fit me well. I want to have the entire leg slimmed down and the waist taken in(TR's idea of a 28 is like a 32...), or is it impossible to turn a straight leg into something more slim? If anyone knows a place, please let me know!
Any place can do it.. I had something similar done at Oakridge tailors before, but it was pretty expensive. Might be better trying to sell them and size down.
It was a few years ago, but IIRC, it was ~$50 ish

I'd size down if I could but 28 is the smallest they make and they don't make slim fits
PJ, how was it quality wise? and I'd rather pay $50 and have a pair of jeans to wear than have it sit in my closet
The gf said to do it "proper" will cost well over $70-$100+, because they pretty much have to slice the jean in half down the side, roll the whole thing in, and resew. Not to mention you'll lose all the elaborate stitching. Like Stylin said, they're pretty much sewing you a whole new pair of jeans using only material from your jeans they just cut up.
Just cutting, rolling and resewing the lower outside seam is probably the $20-$50 option we're all thinking of, but there's only so much "skinnier" you can make it before you have to start changing everything else.
I think it'll look weird turning a baggier jean into a skinny. Especially TR's with their big ass pockets. If you roll too much of the inseam/outseam, the pockets will get pulled too much to the sides.

She's just tapering the bottom leg.
TR's are relatively very baggy, and if you pull in the thigh area into a skinny, the pockets are going to be off-centered.
Dunno, just imo
