Who are folks happily using for denim alterations? I have a pair that I want to taper.

Wazin will cost a fortune. Bhambi won’t be cheap either.
Do you need the buttonholes to be done by hand? Can save money if you have someone do them by machine and I don’t you will care once they are done.

Thanks Greg & all. I reached out to Sam.Sam Wazin
Hi- it depends if they are selvedge or not. If they are not, then can taper from the outside seam and anyone can do it. If they are taper and you want to preserve it, and not make the selvedge look different, then it need to be done from the inside inseam and it’s a harder job. I’ve tried many tailors and most do a sloppy job so you can see where the thread starts and ends.Who are folks happily using for denim alterations? I have a pair that I want to taper.

The ONLY place that I will now use to taper denim is BROOKLYN Denim Co. In Williamsburg.
If you want a chain stitch go to Blue in Green or Self Edge. If you don’t care, then go to any tailor or dry cleaners.I have a selvedge pair that requires fairly basic hemming.Is there anyone in manhattan or Brooklyn you’d recommend?
Someone who can get it done quickly would be great...
