Fashion/clothing help

Recently I bought a pair of jeans and the cuffing around my ankles and shoes is very loose, are any of you people experienced or used to getting clothing altered or fit to you? Suits, button UPS, jeans, ECT apply. I want to get my fall clothing together.

I'll post a pic of what I'm talking about in a few.

Tight roll those bad boys and rock it like we did in high school.

I would assume any decent seamstress could take a cuff in a few inches easily enough.

I used to tight-roll my pants back then. I guess the trend fell off. Tight rolling is useful sometimes; I see some people doing it still.

Pics no worky. It looks like you're trying to post them straight from your email?

Do you mean loose like too long or too big? Just get new jeans. Unless you're wearing Momotaros or something, it's not worth it to have blue jeans altered. And if you're wearing selvage denim, you normally roll it into a cuff and should have had it fit before you dropped all that cash.

The only articles of clothing I have altered to fit me 100% properly would be my suits and dress slacks. Other than that, jeans, shirts, other, usually fit good enough on me from the get go.

I'm not sure if you mean the inseam is too long and they're stacking too much on the shoes, or that the leg opening is too wide. If it's the former, just ask a tailor to take some length off; I took a solid 4" out of a 38" pair. If it's the latter, they can do that too, though I agree with Omnis that unless they're a pricey pair of denim, it'd be easier to buy a new pair with the preferred fit.

The images are being hosted through skydrive. I guess that doesn't work? I can see them for some odd reason but I think that's because of my cookies and cache.

I don't really have clothing fit much. I recently went shopping for a nicer pair of jeans. I usually wear cheap wrangler jeans but I got some Lucky Brand and I misplaced the receipt. I sized up since those brands generally run slim and while they fit fine around the thigh the leg area is just baggy. Let me dig up a image.

The leg/ankle parts in that image are nearly identical to what I'm experiencing.. I feel like a fool and a thug having baggy clothing.

You probably have better bodily dimensions compared to me

There's the culprit. These jeans seem to have a built in adult diaper, judging by the amount of sag.

 

[Omnis]

That's because you're wearing skinny jeans designed for a basketball player (not named Tyson Chandler)

Get them hemmed or roll a cuff. Also, take in the crotch unless you have a giant scrote-oma ballsack tumor. If you're gonna spend money on Lucky jeans (just so they say "Boy, you're lucky!" or whatever on the zipper fly) then you might as well get a decent pair of selvage denim. Even Gap has some.

Yeah true. Better yet, measure yourself and buy the appropriate sizes to fit your waist and length (inseam). Looking at the pic you posted, you are obviously not buying the correct size to fit your dimensions. Those jeans are waaaaaay to long.

These posts haha. This is actually my first pair of jeans like this and yeah.. it's kind of obnoxious. Didn't even notice it when I got them. I guess I'll take them to the tailor. I feel like the money I spent on these is a bit much to not have them fit properly. Sucks since the price for all of this will go up. Could have gotten like 3 wranglers for the price of these.

Yeah, you only alter on suits and dress clothes. Too much of an investment on regular jeans. You are just better off buying a new pair locally so you know they fit right.

A tailor won't be able to do much with drop-crotch denim. Maybe the store will play nice and take them back without a receipt? It's worked before, depending on your payment method.

I wouldn't say it's a hard rule to only alter dress clothes - it depends on how much use the article will see, and how much it originally cost you - but it pays to make sure the "hard points" are right before you fiddle with the details. The extra long seat of those can't easily be fixed, and the shoulders of suits can't be changed too easily either.

Just go to a tailoring shop.

The way I wear my jeans I'm about a 31" length. Unfortunately that length isn't sold. 30 is too short, and 32 is too long. I have purchased and altered 32" jeans to a 31" length, and that works fairly well.

Those jeans that you are wearing have their leg parts too long, just go to a tailor shop to get the length trimmed off shorter so that they can fit your size properly - or if you can't do that one way or the other it will be more a prompt choice to buy a new pair with proper fit.
