Tailoring my Wested trousers.

I usually call them pants, but trousers is fun to say (type).

I took my Westeds in to a tailor today. Nothing wrong with them, I just believe to achieve the "look and fit" that I needed tailoring.

I'm having the legs taken in, seat and crotch taken in ( to avoid droopy drawers and "tenting"). I considered having the cuffs widened, but will wait and see. They said 1 week, so I will update with report and pics when I get them back.

Excellent notion. If you find a good tailor treat them like gold. They can make you look like a superstar in your clothing.

Wested does a great job with their trousers, but still, unless they actually take your measurements there will be some variation.

If the tailor is good I would recommend paying them to take your complete measurements, as if you were having a suit made, and keeping them on hand. They will certainly serve you well if you do any amount of shopping on the internet.

I agree 100%. They didn't even charge for taking complete measurements!

I'm going to have my Wested Indy shirt altered as well. (I ordered a M but probably should have gone S).

yeah tron i ordered M for a wested shirt but sent it back for a S because the M was SO big in my estimation!!

I agree RedDust, I like the shirt but they do run way big!

A lot of trial and error in this game.

Ya Holt, I should have taken some good "before" photos but I didn't think of it at the time.

I've got some of me wearing them that I will post for comparison when I get them back. They might not illustrate the difference too well but we will know next week!
