I'm going to an alterations shop to get my chinos, corduroys, (slim) and jeans (regular straight) trimmed.
How many inches of fabric should I be able to pinch away from my skin for each of my pants for both proper straight fit jeans and proper slim fit corduroys and chinos?

Should corduroys fit in a similar fashion to chinos or should they fit like regular straight jeans?
Thank you for your previous responses.

It depends largely on the fabric how much you'll be able to take in. All trousers can be as slim or as wide as you like - your tailor is the one to trust in this situation not us.

I'm going to an alterations shop, not a tailor.
Tailors in Korea wouldn't even waste their time with doing alterations on clothing I didn't buy from them.

Well, there are several good alterations tailors in Seoul. Not cheap (or quick), but very skilled. PM me if you'd like the info.
