Adding belt loops to a pair of suit pants?

[cruxisfalcon]

I recently received a suit that I ordered online and while it fits very well, the pants have side tab adjusters and no belt loops. The pants haven't been hemmed yet - can I use the extra fabric from the hemming to add belt loops? Would my tailor be able to do this?

Yes.

Any idea how much this might cost?

Won't cost much, it's not a particularly hard job. $20 at most. Though I would try them with the tabs only first, a lot of people like them, and if the pants are well fitted, you shouldn't need a belt.

As an aside, you should have adjusters or belt loops, but not both since the side adjusters are useless (and look ridiculous) when wearing a belt.

All that said, if you've got a nice pair of trousers created with side adjusters, why do you want to add, err, substitute belt loops anyway?
