Take-in Waist of Jeans Alterations

Professional Waist Alterations for Jeans — Factory-Quality Results Without Darts

Get a better-fitting waist while preserving the original factory look of your jeans. Our professional waist alteration service improves fit without changing the authentic construction or appearance. Unlike traditional tailoring that adds darts, our denim specialists reconstruct the waistband from the center back using original jean-making techniques, so the finished result remains clean, durable, and nearly invisible.

We specialize in taking in the waist of jeans and jean-style casual pants — including denim, twill, canvas, corduroy, and khakis. Every alteration is completed with a focus on maintaining the garment’s original character, strength, and factory-style stitching.

Order online from anywhere in the United States. Select 2-way shipping at checkout and we’ll email a prepaid label to make sending your jeans quick and easy.

Ordering & Fit Guidance

• Order by selecting the exact amount to be taken out of the waist. Requesting a different labeled size does not provide enough information for accurate alterations.

• Waist reductions of 2 inches or more may affect the appearance, especially on smaller sizes where rear pockets can move closer together. Please check pocket spacing before ordering.

• If you’re correcting seat fit issues, sending a photo of the jeans being worn helps our tailor understand how to adjust them properly.

• An option is available to reduce the seat without changing the waist.

• This service alters your garment only — reference pants cannot be submitted for copying or matching.

Service Notes

• Price is per garment.

• Jeans must arrive clean and free of odor, pet hair, or debris.

• For multiple pairs with different instructions, clearly note details for each garment during checkout.

• Final measurements may vary slightly; we reserve the right to be within ½ inch of the requested measurement.
