complicated selvege jean tailor/hem

Is it possible to take a pair of selvege Ijins and have them tailored/hemmed all around?
The jeans measurements:
waist 34"
inseam around 34"

my true waist 31"
inseam that I need 32"

they are also baggy in the legs/thighs. Is it possible to have these jeans taken in to fit me while staying true to the cut? thanks

denim doctors in LA says they can do a full leg taper, as well as waist and inseam take in.

do you think they would still be too baggy in the ass if I had this tailoring done, or can they alter that/is it changed in the process

Sell them then buy a pair that fits. Tailoring to that extent has too many variables that could result in them becoming unwearable, and unsellable.

Is there a way to keep the selvage line and keep the chainstitching look the same if the jeans are tapered by a good tailor? What should I make sure to ask for when I have the jeans taken in.

Maybe I didn't phrase it right for some of the elitist assholes on this board but I think you get the gist of what I am asking. It is a very reasonable question and while I admit that I know relatively little about alterations and denim in general compared to some people on this board, at least I am trying to learn.

The answer to my first question is yes, it is possible to take in the waist, inseam, and taper the legs while trying to stay true to proportion/shape of the cut.

My second question is whether they can keep the selvage line and stitching looking the same, and what else I should make sure to ask before I take them in to get altered.

my first question is why do you feel you deserve your own thread for this stupid question (seriously, just buy jeans that fit)

my second question is why didn't you use one of the threads dedicated to these kinds of questions (such as the ask a question thread, or the i have a jean thread, or just search for denim alterations)

thanks for your input and I will take it into consideration before creating a new thread next time.
