JEANS FITTING GALLERY
What to expect during a fitting. Depending on your needs, each fitting is very different, here are a few examples of several different fittings.
When in Doubt, Show and Tell
There’s no shame in bringing a photo to help explain exactly what you’re after. Maybe a photo torn from a magazine or your phone.
Pick Up the Lingo
BREAK / n.
The horizontal crease in your pants leg caused by the fabric’s resting on your shoe.
DART / n. or v.
A quick, cost-effective way to slim a baggy point by folding and stitching excess fabric down the back.
TAPER / v.
To gradually narrow anything, usually pants from the knee to the ankle, but sometimes suit-jacket sleeves.
