    Very clear detailed instructions. I am seasoned sewer but never did anything like this before. Son in law brought me a pair of these for rescue after nearly all the studs had fallen off. Followed the instructions exactly and the jeans look as though they were always zip up!!!!
    I used a 16 denim needle and Guterman jeans thread on top. I did remove the zipper teeth that were under the waist band as my home machine is not as strong as your industrial version and has problems with sewing over zippers. So glad you did this video….

    Good stuff, thank you. I particularly found the extent of the unpicking useful, I would have wasted time trying to do it without unpicking enough.

    I LOVE THIS!!🥰 An apparently impossible piece of work, beautifully done. And it can only be easier on non-Levis pants. Sadly, I'm afraid I'll need more, a lot more, than 15 minutes to complete. But, at least, now I have a starting point, and the finish. Thanks so much.

    Wow, great job! Your sewing machine is a real workhorse. This would be so much harder on a home sewing machine. Maybe I should invest in an industrial machine. Love your videos.

    Thank you! I thought my son was the only one who doesn't like the button fly. Now I can make those expensive jeans wearable, instead of using them as fabric for another project or donating them to a thrift store.

    Excellent work! Where is your shop? Can I mail jeans to you to get the work done?I have a pair of Levi’s 501 Button fly that I don’t like the buttons. I can’t find a shop here in Michigan to do it.

    My machine probably can't do 2-3 layers of Jean. CAN I mail you 2 pair for you to do? I wouldn't be able to do that good of a job.

    Excellent work, love your work, my husband does not like the buttons. So now if the pans had bottoms and fits well I can change it for him. Thank you so much for showing that one can change the jeans with buttons to a zipper...❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️

    I bought a pair of jeans but the fly doesn't open wide enough to fit over my thighs, so I'm tbink of cutting out the zipper, cutting the bottom seam of the fly and make the fly two inches lower, and then ill either have to put a new zipper in or buttons. But I've never done alterations like this before and am afraid of ruining my jeans 😬

      The bottom of the fly will be MUCH TOO LOW

    • @Summers.Little.Studio
      @Summers.Little.Studio 3 года назад +1

      @@patriciaaustin5336 it actually wouldn’t be too low, they didn’t make the fly long
      enough when they designed it. They forgot to account for curvy women (they designed this pair for curvy women too) having to actually put the jeans on.

    How much would a tailor charge for this?

    • @DowntownTailoring
      @DowntownTailoring  2 года назад +1

      It depends. I'd say in the range of 20 to 45. Depends on the region and the tailor. Cheers 🙂

      Hello Paty. This alteration would cost around $22 CAD plus tax. Hope this helps :)

    Yes I did like your video bacause now I know that it is possible to put a zipper to a button fly jeans,I had seen and even tried out pretty and perfect pants and jeans but notice that their were button fly pants and had to pass because of it.
    Really enjoy your video
    P.S.=can any tailor do this kind of work?

    • @DowntownTailoring
      @DowntownTailoring  2 года назад

      I'm pretty sure that any good tailor can do it but many probably won't want as it takes longer than replacing a regular zipper. Cheers 🙂
