Yes. Just reshape the outseam. If you want a more detailed 'how-to' response... PM me.

how does one reshape the inseam? or is that too much work?

there was a thread like this pretty recently. i think it was regarding pbj 004s or something.

You can also take the jeans to a tailor. They should be able to adjust the cut relatively easily.

[eastcoastrider27]

Yeah, I had a tailor taper a pair of bootcuts I had.

Cost $15.

mine did it for 10 bucks!

Its normally much harder to do the inseam just because its double stitched. Not impossible, just more complicated.

so to get a true straight cut, just alter the outseam? would doing both the inseam and outseam be the only way to have a taper?

[captain5640]

Doing the inseam and outseam would be the only way to have a true taper because when altered it should taper in from both sides. If it only tapers in from one seam it may look a little off.

There's also the option of instead of ripping out the inseam part, to take it in with a line of sewing right along the edge of that part, very close, ont he side where there's a lottle folded bit sticking out, so that the seam could hide out there.

I think I am going to give this a shot with my skinners as the flair is just far too annoying and its keeping me from wearing them these days.

I am worried about lining up where to start taking in the "bell bottom". Last time I attempted this it looked a bit "pinched" right where I started taking them in.
