Tailoring Pants - Taking in vs. Letting Out - Page 3

three inches is quite a bit. how much does the seat need to come in? it might be too much.
for more info go to ask andy search. ask for "trouser alterations" scroll down to that title.
its pretty far down there dated 7-4-06.

better trousers often have a little to let out there. some as much one inch.
cheap wools and cotton pants have nothing.

Great--they are better trousers I believe--would you mind commenting on the difficulty of such an alteration?

not very difficult. if you what you are doing. that means about 20 or 25 bucks.

Slightly different question, but same concept, I think.

I bought an Aboud three button suit a couple years that (a) was too big in the waist and (b) is cut baggy to boot. I had the waist taken in and have worn it a few times, but now I can't stand wearing it because the pants are just unfashionably baggy. So the question is, is it worth trying to save the suit by having the pants basically reconstructed, or is that likely to yield unsatisfactory results, particularly when the jacket, though it fits pretty well, is a generous cut too. And bear in mind, I live in Phoenix and have not found a decent tailor.

Thanks in advance.

Fakeri can essentially remake the suit and pants. Your not going to like the cost though... J. Abboud... No, I wouldn't bother with it.

Just bought a suit, absolutely love the fabric and the fit of the jacket, but the pants are a solid inch too small.  Problem is they have already been let out with the excess fabric.  Is there anything else that can be done?
