Thanks for the thread. Seems like the U or J shape pants are done simply by cutting it that way. Doubt my tailor would want to embark on such an enterprise though, because I asked him to just cut it in such a shape and he said he dont know how to do it without looking at the sample.

Why don't you learn how to make them yourself then? it seems like with all this talk of tailors and alterations etc, if you were really serious about design you'd try your hand at it yourself.

Dont have the time and patience. At times, it takes me half an hour just to sew a button.

i hate sewing buttons... or any hand sewing for that matter. i could sew a tee in the time it takes me to sew a button.

back pock darts = ghey.

why dont you just 'design' something of your own?

Well, if I can design something nice and unique on my own, I would be an aspiring fashion designer already.

Is there such a thing as Margiela stitch? Do you mean the 4 white threads at the back attaching the Margiela label If so, I am not interested in that. Think I will have to scrap the Margiela clasp idea since that cannot be easily found. Anyway that always come out when I wear it.

Ah, right. Yes, that is what mean. Sorry, didn't read your original post properly.

Good luck with the pants. Don't forget to post some pictures once you finish

I intend to but unfortunately for some reason I cant post online. I can only email. But the picture resolution wont be good cos I am using my mobile phone to take the pics.

Start from here. Buy some shitty fabric, sew that together, and try to work backwards again.

The tutorial on the page before said it right, it's really easy....Use a surger and set the left needle on a super low tension and use a real thick, strong thread. Then sew as normally, and pull the seams when you're finished. they will be wider as time goes by. It's seriously easy, I did it today, tailors refusing to do it sounds retarded. and now I have my own carol christian poell finger warmers. Who wtb? $200 shipped?
