I have some tuxedo pants with the satin stripe down the side that I would like to have the leg slimmed/tapered about 2 inches. I know this is easy to do with normal pants but can it be done with the satin stripe?

I had the same issue with my tux pants. Rather than mess with tapering they took in the seat of the pants. Worked very well.

it should cost at least double or triple the cost of tapering only.
