Wested Pants back from the Tailor! *with Pics*

Tron7960 · Post by **Tron7960** » Fri Apr 04, 2008 7:55 pm

Last week I posted to let you all know that I had taken my Wested Indy trousers to a tailor for some "fine tuning".
viewtopic.php?t=27704

I loved the look and feel of my Wested pants but knew that for me to be happy with the fit, they would need some alterations.

One week and $20. later, I'm pleased to say that they now fit as I imagined they should. (they even did a proper job of my attempt at tightening up the notoriously loose button fly holes!)

For anyone not quite satisfied with the fit of their Wested pant, I highly recommend this process!

Great color!! Looks like you got them fitting just right. When I got my Magnoli pants, I made the mistake of having them made too narrow - a few months later they didn't fit comfortably anymore!!

I had the inseam taken in down to the knees, creating a straighter, less tapered leg. I also had the seat and crotch taken in eliminating the "diaper" look.

I think your tailor is a keeper. Those trousers look great.

They do look good. Press that crease out though.

I saved that picture because I'd never noticed them before either. One day somebody posted that and I thought the same thing!

I know!

I'll relax it a bit (not completely lose it). No matter how good your tailor is, they can't let you pick up un-pressed pants.

I think it would be a violation of ITCOC (International Tailors Code of Conduct)

hey tron it's off subject alittle but have you put something on your aldens.. they look the more genuine colour of indy's boots rather than the brick red that were used to!!... did you invest in marc's new tone aldens?

like the wested BTW

Tron7960 · Post by **Tron7960** » Sun Apr 06, 2008 4:07 pm

Thanks Red Dust.

My Aldens were given a polish with regular old mid brown shoe polish. They started off a pretty good color so I didn't do much other than try to tone down the stitching on the toe. I've got a pair or Marc's AB Aldens ordered so it will be interesting to compare when they arrive.

Hook a brother up with a link for that shoe polish!

Ha! you say mid brown shoe polish yeah?.. yeah put al ink up for ya new aldens when ya get em..

Not sure about a link, or if it's available outside Canada. Picked it up at WalMart.

This is the stuff!
