@neelp3 Do you wear thick or thin socks with those?

awesome summer picking mine up tomorrow are you wearing 634s with them in the pic? just wondering how the opening looks with the boots

 

[neelp3]

very nice, did you hem them yourself or taper? I need to get me a sewing machine to do my own alterations. cant imagine a more relaxing evening than with beer and music and sharp needles

I did both the hem and taper. I wouldn't exactly say relaxing, but enjoyable and extremely satisfying for sure.

I wear dress socks with the boots.

I just hemmed a pair of chinos tonight. Not quite relaxing. Enjoyable and satisfying, yes.

You're not getting enough of the booze onto the trousers!

Neelp3 - lovely boots, if you're getting heel slippage try proper boot socks, they tend to have much more grip and of course a thicker heel.

I thought I was forgetting a step.

Warning, thread jack. I should look for a how-to video. I'd like to be able to do fairly simple things myself like hemming and shortening sleeves, etc. I have a sewing machine that my mother-in-law had that I could learn on.

Was it hard to learn?

I don't think so, no. I'm still learning, but I found it relatively simple to hem some trousers. The measuring, folding, pinning, measuring, trying on and measuring then cutting is the most time consuming for me. I only spent 15min, maybe, actually sewing.

I like knowing that everytime I buy trousers I don't have to factor in $18 to have them hemmed and wait a week to get them back.

Hemming is relatively easy. Preparation takes the most amount of time. You need to measure, cut, iron, maybe remove some previous stitches and when that's all said and done, you sew and that might take you a minute. Shortening sleeves and tapering pants is more difficult. If you want to taper a pair of pants that has a flat felled seam, you would have to remove the stitching from both sides. It's very time consuming and usually not worth it.

My next goal is to be able to shorten jacket sleeves. I plan to stick with it and be able to make clothes. Hopefully in a couple years I'll be able to make something half decent enough to wear! haha

Are you planning to shorten them from the shoulders or from the cuffs?
