Getting 36" length hemmed to 30"-- does it look ok?

[ninja life moves fast]

i'm asking bc i usually wear a 35/36 width w/ a 30" length. now, i'm thinking of buying some sugarcanes, and i'll prob get the 38" width to allow shrinkage. unfortunately, these are only avail at 36" length (33" when shrunk), so i'll prob get them hemmed. my question is: will it look ok? will it look like a loose fit bc the opening may look larger bc it's going to be cut higher?

i'm fat, nikka!! maybe i'll just get 34" waist, 30" length and shrink myself :'(

NAWWWWWYCE!!!

SHRINK YOUR SELF... ITS REALLY THE ONLY WAY, FAT PEOPLE LOOK SLOPPY NO MATTER WHAT THEY WEAR.

IM 320 LBS AND JUST WEAR ECKO SWEATS AND 3X TALL TEES ALL DAY.

AND IM STILL FILTHY

HOPE YOU GET IT LATER...

[darkanimal]

yes shrink yourself. Because of vanity, I've gone from a 32 to a 28 in 2 years. Always good to start now!

HAHAHA

GO EAT A STEAK!!

HOPE YOU GET IT LATER...

I dont want to seem like an ass, but you might want to consider losing some weight. The thought of a 35/36 width 30 length is kinda unsettling to me.

i was obv joking around abt shrinking myself. i work out and play ball everyday, and i don't consider myself unhealthy in the least. i can wear a 34 just fine but prefer something looser, plus i have shorter legs i guess. in any case, i am just wondering if getting a 33" hemmed to 30" looks weird bc maybe the higher part of the pant leg is wider?

[My Pal the Crook]

guess what fatty? Ninja life move fast... get on the di-diet!

Post pics of yourself so we can judge if you're fat. No nudes.

The amount of hemming shouldn't matter, but if they're selvage you need to make sure the tailor understands you need to keep the selvage and the hem neat.

hes probably not fat. some people just have bigger builds.

[Handlethevibe]

I'm 5'7 and 142 lbs. I think I'm fat.

hahaha y'all crack me up, seriously. i always thought there was something strange about a board full of dudes who worship denim (pause n/h!)

ok, so hemming a 36" to 30" should still look ok? thanks to everyone who replied.

youll be good as far as the sizing deal youre worried about. just make sure you have the tailor reatached the original hem so it dont look like a wack job. imo, i think you should just cuff them shits up. high cuffs are awesome.

I'm a 28-29 waist, so a 36 is beyond me.

[adsurgo]

im a 34.

agree...or atleast cuff them at first so you see how it looks. Once you've cut them off you cant really go back. And if the jeans are dry theres really no need to attach the original hem imo.

I aint gotta get money man money get me

[adsurgo]

ahah i didnt even pay attention it if they were dry or not. whoops.

[ninja life moves fast]

yeah, i'm referring to dry denim. you're right, i don't need to worry about reattaching the hem, i think. i was just worried that the higher the cut on the pant leg, the larger the opening will be. i'm not trying to wear jncos...
