my life is already getting better with this wisdom
loved this video, right to the point.
Thank you, that was so helpful! TFS x
Great video you made it look so simple. I will give it a try. Thank you for clearifying this hack.
Nice video. I whould have loved to see them on someone to see the before and after.
It would have been nice to see the after view and also a close up. Seem like he was in hurry
Nice!
You sew in another locking stitch with a zigzag pattern to keep it from fraying, plus he didn't undo the hems.
Rock N yeah he looked like he was in a hurry
Bob Saget
Yes I think he was.
fantastic thanks, love the accent too.
that iron is top notch son..
True that. Nice observation
This doesnt work for selvedge jeans
I'm still scared to fuck my shit up lol... Hmmm...
In progress my dudes in progress!
How did it go?
Excellent but what If the taper is required higher up from the thighs.
Michael tailor sounds like a brand name
What about the hem after tapering? This video is missing the most important part!
he didn't alter the hem at all, he left it as it was. he snipped above the hem on the seam
re-watch beginning at 20 seconds
Does it matter if you take away the material from the inside or outside of the leg? Or should you take an equal amount off the inside and outside of the leg? I notice you took away only From one side of the leg... Won't it give a twisted fit if you only take away from inside or outside rather than both?
+Johann Lemoine If you were doing a flare leg jeans, you would have to taper both sides but not on straight legs jeans. I've had my done like this at the cleaners for over 26 years.
@@rockn1677 so the question remains, inside or outside???
Gaaaaa! Those giant scissors are freaking me out!
They're hardly tapered....mine will be more but thanks for the knowledge
This is an amateur way to narrow denim legs. Just moving the outside, usually chainstitched, will twist the bias of the leg. If they are very wide to start with it will be obvious. If there's a fold mark it will be walked around the leg and look poor.
The correct way is to remove an equally amount from both seams. However, this requires a flat-fell or lap seam machine to re-join the inner, and a chainstitch for the outer.
This guy has ruined the selvedge too.
pls do a how to change the jeans waist, its always too big for me
A piece of elastic can be applied in the back which is inserted 'in' the waistband usually between the three belt carriers( center back and sides). Do a search within you tube as there are several tutorials how to do it. Hope this helps.
what ruler is that?
Could be one often used for pattern making.
That may be fine for the legs, but what about the seat. It would look bad to see someone walking down the street with jeans that are baggie in the butt and tapered from the knee down.
Did he do it oN the outside
Yes
what if the double stitch seam is on the outer side
Gas Pump The flat-felled stitch? Looks like two parallel stitch, yes?
I have this same question. Yes, my jeans have the flat-felled seam on the outside. Do I taper from the inside vs. the outside in this situation?
@@patricklambert4858 do it on the inside then
@@juvenilemale160 my jeans have the flat-felled seam on the inside and outside of the leg - how would one take them in ?
the failure with this video is that it's impossible to see which side he actually tapered! inner or outer edge??
Outer
Outside the one that isn’t double stitch
بيا
If this is the same chap, that works at denim doctor in Manchester. I would not trust anything he says, regarding alterations. He has a reputation, for poor workmanship.
Lmao it’s the same guy
#md arbaj
Hmmmmm,,,,,,,
Too fast, not enough discussion; what if you need to remove about 7 inches from length?
that is called hemming
wouldn't trust him with my jeans . poorly done hands down
I'm assuming he was 'dumbing it down' a bit, using tools/methods that more people have access to. He'd probably do it quite a bit differently if it came in as a job, using more specialized/expensive equipment (industrial overlock machine/etc). I doubt any professional tailor would finish a job with pinking sheers. Just a guess though.
That's no excuse. And a real tailor doesn't even have pinking shears, let alone use them. Too many bleeding hacks calling themselves "tailors" these days.
youre a hack dont @me
I thought I was going to see some serger work done,. ? And finish the hem,. ?
@@oc_villain3833 is serger the same as edger?
No good
why buy a drink to a stranger when she or he can pay for themselves,,,,why cant she give or donate to charity instead of selling,,,,its life all about money?
That is a lazy-ass way to taper jeans. I would not take my jeans to this tailor if this is truly the way he does it.
Gmo Quez it’s an example of how anyone can do it at home with a normal sewing machine.
I don't buy that one bit!
I'M a tailor and I can do better than that .I do the tapering on both side of the jeans
Marco Valerio so where is your channel?
Other side is a lapfell Seam
We need tailors for gents for the Raymond's custom Tailoring hub in Salem call 7708222211
What a horrible job!
This guy is a cowboy, you NEVER taper jeans from the outside seam, ALWAYS the inside seam. He only does this way (incorrect way) because he doesn’t have the proper machine to do the inside seam. They are expensive but are the only way to do the folded over lapseam as is on the inside seam. You NEVER taper jeans from the outside, it will never drape right.
accent difficult to understand, great video though
