You're probably not going to believe this, but I just picked up a pair of pants from Express (on sale, but at the store). They are a very lightweight, soft charcoal wool/mohair blend and will fit me very well after I take in the waist and seat just a bit (these run really large). I think they will be very useful for summer.
The legs are a bit wide for my liking. I would like to slim them down by about 1-1.5". My question is, for those who have had this done, did the tailor do it from the inseam, outseam or both? I did this (inseam modification) to a pair of BR cotton pants a while back, and I was pretty happy with the results, but those didn't have front creases, and these do. I was thinking it might be easier to do it from both the inseam and outseam than to try and get the original creases out and put new ones in.
So, inseam, outseam or both?
Thanks.
