Long story short, I have a very nice slim-fitting Lazio suit from Suitsupply. The pants fit great other than in the crotch area. Basically, it's difficult for me to stretch my legs out to the sides when I'm wearing the trousers and I think it's stemming from the low crotch. I have other dress trousers that have a higher crotch and my mobility is just fine. So is there anything that can be done to make these trousers more mobility friendly?

Thanks!

One final trip to the fire as the only change that would assist their mobility. They don't fit you and should have been left on the rack where you found them, however much you may like the rest of the garment.

From your description, the rise is too long. The rise may
be reduced by lowering the waistband. Alternatively, the
crotch may be shortened, which is more complicated.
Either measure requires a highly skilled tailor so as
not to ruin the trousers. I've had this done numerous times.
