A Reversible Way To Tailor The Waist of Jeans⎜Levi's

Levi's Tailor, Sabrina, from York shows us how to adjust the waist of jeans. This method allows jeans to be taken in, to feel more snug, but is reversible, so if you ever need to take them out again, that's an option! Using techniques like this allows us to buy less & keep the things we have for longer.

I am a beginner and watched sooo many videos from other amateurs that popped up before yours. Not sure why that is, but I am so relieved to have found you!! I had just done the same alteration last night and stopped before adjusting the pockets. Now I can finish my project with confidence after seeing your video!! Yours by far was one of the most helpful and concise explanations with such beautiful results! Thank you! You have gained a new subscriber :)

I am so happy it turned out to be ribcage jeans you darted! I want to get a pair but have begun losing weight, so i was afraid of what to do with expensive jeans that will be 2-4 sizes too big once my journey is done.... now that I see how lovely your result turned out, I will snatch a pair of jeans in my current size, then add darts once I lose the weight! Thank you so much.

Thank you Sabrina for your good video & great demo of a very useful help for old guys like me whose waits have reduced a lot. Thank you 👍

This is a great step by step tute! I feel confident in achieving a good fit!

[@trulyford]

Did this today and it worked so well! Thank you 😊

[@harrietpitts7935]

Brilliant work Sabrina, and great video :-)

[@Queenkz13]

Thank you so much for this. I ordered a pair and by the time they arrived, I had dropped 4 inches off my waist (where the jeans sit). I'm definitely gonna put your technique in to practice. I can't see any other solution

[@twintopper8659]

Why not just go and buy another pair? Too complicated, and too much time.

Not everyone can buy their clothes firsthand :)

Here are a few reasons why: This would take two hours or less for someone who does it to a few pairs of jeans, and both new and thrifted jeans cost a lot more than two hours of labour. Altering thrifted jeans is also cheaper than an pair of new, specialty jeans (curvy, petite, plus, tall, etc). Some people can only get perfectly fitting jeans if they buy them custom, so alterations may be the only, and therefore the best, way to get well-fitting jeans. Also, at least for women’s jeans, most jeans don’t fit anyone well. Clothes look best when they fit (even oversized and tight clothes look better with care for the proportion of the outfit silhouette and proportion of the person’s body! It’s why two people can wear the exact same outfit yet one can look more “fashionable”). People who lose weight can alter their favourite pants instead of needing to replace them, or they can alter an *almost* perfect pair of pants (colour, length, fabric, etc) to be *the* perfect pair of pants. . Some people like customizing their clothes. Of course, for some people, spending the money is preferable for the ease and convenience, and that’s their choice!! But if they choose to alter them, one can a) reduce fabric waste, one of the highest global garbage and pollution contributors, b) save money, and c) make better use of the clothes they already have.

Because it's become a lost skill that a lot of people are trying to learn. Everyone's clothes used to be tailored, but now we just have to try on 100 pairs of jeans to find one that fits right. I personally have several pairs of jeans that fit in the butt/hips but are too big around the waist; being able to tailor my clothes to fit my body perfectly will be a game changer 😊
