Questions about shortening trousers
Not covered here? Call us — you get an answer in a minute rather than through a form.
076 501 73 31How 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.
Can trousers be lengthened?
If there is enough cloth in the hem, yes. Otherwise we use a false hem for CHF 30.
How long does it take?
Usually 48 hours. If it is urgent, ask — it is often faster.
