Hello.

I posted recently about my "tight" Euro style Versace suit.
I did have the tailor look at it, and he added about 1 1/2 inches to the waist(something around the waist that can be widened)..

My question was, do you all know of the possibility of "widening"
the actually pant legs as well? I dunno if that's at all possible w/out
getting more fabric and having to redo the pants altogether.

Just curious if I'm gonna have to hit the gym, or get the tailor to work it out.

Possible, but probably not by much. If you turn the pants inside out and look at the seams of the leg, you'll notice there is some extra fabric, but not much... maybe .3" at the most depending.

I suppose it would depend whether there's excess fabric there. Usually, there is not a whole lot.
