RRDS Bootcut no more! **photos**

[axtsang]

I've been PMed a lot in regards to contacts of my tailor. She does private jobs only. If you really want, you can PM me w/ what you want done, and I can possible pass on the word.

[truest]

Looks look really good, maybe I should try that with mine..

that tailoring is great!

i want to do this to a pair of my bootcut olas... does anybody know if the bootcut is on the inseam or outseam (or a combination) with bootcut olas? thanks

Wtf 31/34 doesn't fit you? I'm wearing that now and I'm pretty sure I'm skinner than you.

Excellent job, great tailor you got there!

I did this to my RRDS a while ago also, and they came out really well. I also go it done to a pair of Imperial dukes recently, the tailor used some nifty fold method so I can reverse it if I ever want to!

^ wouldn't it be thick by the calves then? It'll look wierd w/ the buldge. And you can't stack properly.

I'm tempted to get this done on a pair of Zathans that I don't wear anymore. My problem with my Ralfs isn't so much the bootcut as it is the entire leg being too loose for my taste.

I think he means he's looking for a 31x34. At least I hope so.

I've wanted to do this for a while but i always thought my combs would get messed up by it, but here it seems that the bootcut didnt really go up that high so i might try this soon.

nice fit btw.

No irregular fitting or twisting symptoms whatsoever,

I have the same pair of (what I can see in the photo) expresso coloured vans. Least I think you're wearing vans. I usually wear boots with my RRDS. the bootcut cuff engulfs anything smaller.

And thats what I hated. And yes, they are expresso Vans.

those nudies are hella mint

RRDS's "bootcut" starts to flare out from the in-seam. Therefore, tailoring can be done from the in-seam, hence the selvedge is NOT touched!

i have no idea how this really works. anyone care to explain briefly?

The flare of the bootcut starts from the inseam. Therefore if tapering was to take place it could be done from the inseam, so by cutting the inseam, then sewing it back the outseam isnt touched at all.

I was thinking of doing the same thing to my pair of zathans too. I don't think mine are long enough to get any stacking so it will probably just end up looking dumb.

or you could sell them to me if they are size 31-33w

It was one of the very few selvedge denim jeans avail from Nudies back in the day.

she did a great job!! it looks like she made an effort to really use the same thread colors as the original (both on the top AND the bottom) which can be a time consuming thing to do.

Ive seen so many of those "alterations gone wrong" posts on here that its nice to finally see one come out good
