Should've I gotten my pants shorten to 28 instead of 29?

I'm wearing Zachary Prell Aster pants & brown suede chukka boots

Yeah, I think another inch would be good. Can you tuck them up an inch and take another pic?

you might not even need full inch, just try half inch first?

Awesome! I cuffed them 1 inch & they looked great. You could also see the form of the boot. I sent 'em out to get shorten already, forgot to take pic. Sorry.
I've NEVER had my pants shorten to 28 before. I never really realized you can get pants shorten. I've always been a pull off the rack-30 inseam guy. Levi's Lucky Brand.

Every time I went to websites like Nordstrom & saw pants with a 34 inch inseam I thought the clothing company were discriminating against short people lol. Like you had to be born tall to wear our clothes. Silly I know.



As soon as I get my pants I'm going to take my black jeans to get shorten to 28. That way I could see more of my Chelsea boots. Thanks for the tip.

No, I think they look good.

I'd personally consider just cuffing the jeans by hand; denim can loose some of its aesthetic hemming it like you would chinos unless you go to someone that knows how/has tools to replicate the manufacturer's finishing. It would also let you adjust the inseam for each shoe rather than being fixed.

For jeans its really a matter of preference. Im a standard 28 inch inseam as well, but some pants I have hemmed to 30, some to 28. 30 hems for pants I want to have a little stacking, or if I want to fold them hems for nice clean cuffed look.

Keep note that the leg opening and how slim the pants are can affect how length looks on a pair of pants. My slim/regular fits I like to keep at 28 as I can use them for the office, while wider fits I actually keep at either 29 or 30 so I have room to fold them without having too think a cuff.
