Professional Tapering Service for Jeans & Pants
Our tapering service is designed for those who want to narrow the leg shape of their jeans for a more tailored fit. The first decision to make is whether you want your jeans tapered only to the knee or above the knee.
-
Knee Tapering: If you're happy with how your jeans fit around the knee and only want to reduce the leg opening size, select the "KNEE" option under the "Type or Style of Tapering" dropdown menu. This option keeps the upper leg shape intact while slimming the lower portion.
-
Standard Tapering: If you want a balanced, natural taper that adjusts both the knee and leg opening, choose "STANDARD." This option allows the tailor to determine the ideal amount to take in from the knee down, ensuring a smooth, proportional look.
-
Custom Tapering: If you have specific measurements—whether from a favorite pair of jeans or a past order—select "CUSTOM." Keep in mind that we taper from the hem to the knee, then blend into the thigh. If you're copying measurements from jeans with a different thigh width than the pair you're altering, the fit and look above the knee may vary.
For best results, ensure your measurements align with your desired fit, and if in doubt, let our experts guide you to the best tapering option for your jeans.

From the back of the closet to the front of the rotation
I had two pair of strait leg raw selvedge jeans (APC new standard and Williamsburg South 2nd St). Both are high quality but the straight leg made them a little dad(ish). I tapered the leg opening down from 16" to 15" and both pair look killer. Jeans size were 33 for the APC and 34x36 for the Williamsburg. I am tall so I used the highest crotch number (I think 13 or 13.5 inch), and the taper to 15" leg opening now wears like a levi 511 and a bononbos slim.
