FAQ

Common questions

Can you keep the original hem on my jeans?

Yes — this is called an original hem or selvedge hem alteration. We shorten the jeans and reattach the original factory stitching so you'd never know they were altered. £35.

How long does it take?

Most trouser alterations are ready within a week. Simple hems can often be done sooner. Need them urgently? Just let us know — express service available.

Do I need to try them on in store?

You don't need to book ahead — just walk in with the trousers and any shoes you plan to wear with them. We'll pin and mark them while you wait.

Can you alter suit trousers?

Yes — we regularly alter suit trousers including formal and made-to-measure suits. See also our suit alterations page.
