hem size

Post by tunic »

This is my first post and I don't want to look like a fool in front of you experts. But I just got a pair of Wested Indy pants and I don't know what size hem I should get . Thanks

I think I read once that the screen accurate hem is 3 inches wide, but I don't know if that would look right on everyone. If you have shorter legs, you might want to drop it to 2 inches.

Check out this thread and you will see what the hem looks like on a screen-used pair:

Kt mentions the hem measurements are 3-3.25" and I believe he states that the pants also have a military cut.

Thanks for all the help. I will go with 3" hem. I have long legs and I think 3" will look OK. Thanks again.

@tunic:
How long did it take for your pair of pants to arrive? I ask because I ordered one about 5 weeks ago, but haven't received anything since then.

best regards,
Lukas

I should definately call them if I were you. I have never heard of such waiting times for any wested product while in th EU, so I guess something went wrong.
