Hmmm. I'd say an inch across (2" circumference) is an insane amount to taper and then to expect that the jeans will still have a good silhouette. 1/2" across is about as much as you might be able to get away with. I'd offer that you'd be better off selling/abandoning those and buy a new pair. Or try it and see, since they can be let out again.Originally Posted by mlyngard
Full vintage legs are better off cuffed in that situation, IMO.
Yea I can just cuff them if they don't turn out how I want them to. I don't mind cuffing jeans and it would look pretty good with this pair, I just wanted to experiment a little. And like you said, they can always be let out again.

Not without getting pleatsOriginally Posted by KitAkira
im confused about the tapering but can i get size 36x34 jeans to fit like a 34x32?Originally Posted by rjones416
It's a pain ********** and most likely expensive. You can modify the fit of the jean in the thighs and legs pretty easily. When you try to get into the actual waist band, things get ugly pretty quick.

would hemming and doing a soak or shrinking in the dryer help at all? or is that only for raw denim?Originally Posted by rjones416
I tried washing my Levi's 582 at 90°C in washing machine and it didn't shrink at all. I'm not sure about dryer, because I don't have it.

putting raw denim through the dryer will shrink them
