Hello Gents,
So in my quest for uncovering the secret to perfect fitting trousers, I've come to a bit of a roadblock. I've found dress pants that are tapered through the leg and undoubtedly "slim", but I'm having some issues with the finish and leg opening on my pants. So regarding this, I have a few questions. The first being: Can pants be tailored in this area? IE the taper below the knee/around the calf area and the leg opening? If So, how does one go about requesting this in a reasonable and articulated fashion to a tailor?
Having said that as well, what is considered a good benchmark or measurement in conveying this to a tailor? I've come to find that most of my skinny/slim jeans have a great taper to them below the knee, and at close around my dress shoe, but my dress pants always seem a bit to "wide" or "open" when it comes to the ankle/shin area. As a decent measuring tool, I wanted to show you all these pictures of Ryan Gosling in some dress pants. (FYI I think Gosling is a modern fashion icon and really puts himself together QUITE well) So I like the way his pants are tapered in that region in these photos... I've also posted another picture of a man with nice fitting pants as well:
So... not to belabor this ad nauseum, but can anyone give a young aspiring gentleman some guidance here?
As usual, much appreciated.
Cheers
