FAQ

Questions about shortening trousers

Not covered here? One call and you have the answer in a minute.

How long should the trousers be?

Suit trousers want a slight break on the shoe; chinos sit just above it. Come in with the shoes and we pin it exactly.

What is the jeans original hem?

We cut above the original hem, shorten, and sew the factory edge back on. The fading at the edge stays, so the jeans look as bought. CHF 25.

How long does it take?

Usually 48 hours. If it is urgent, ask — it is often faster.
