Trouser alteration services involve shortening, lengthening, and adding a few elements to your pair. Whether it's for a special event or just for everyday wear, skilled Taskers in your area can provide quality trouser alteration services, from standard adjustments to more complex fixes. Here are the most common trouser alterations Taskers can do for you:

Altering trouser inseam

It's normal to get trousers that are either too long or too short for you. That's why most stores sell them with an unfinished hem so that tailors can easily alter them according to your preferred length. They can either fold and sew the bottom of your trouser to shorten it or sew-in pieces of additional fabric to make it longer. Where your trouser should break is based entirely up to you, but you can always ask your Tasker for suggestions to make sure the length suits you!

Altering waistband

Whether your trouser keeps falling off of you, or it gives you some trouble breathing because it's too tight, your Tasker can fix that problem in no time! It can either be taken in or let out, depending on your needs. Of the two, it's always easier to take the trouser waist in as there's extra fabric to work on. When having this kind of alteration, feel free to let your Tasker know what feels comfortable for you.

Altering trouser leg width

If you want to go for a slimmer look, your Tasker can taper the trouser legs as well! Tapered trouser legs can give you a more professional and cleaner look, but it can also depend on the default trouser style and your body type. If you have a bigger upper body, a thinner-looking pair of legs won't look good either. Tapering suit trousers isn't also ideal since they need to look proportional.

If needed, you can get someone to alter your entire suit to make sure everything goes well. It's best to consult your Tasker if tapered trouser legs would look good on you, and how far can it go.

Altering zipper, hook and eye

These are more of a trouser repair than an alteration, but it's better to have these done than to buy a new pair of trousers entirely. Maybe you purchased a new one off-the-rack, but the zipper, hook, and eye didn't match your style, or maybe your favourite trousers need some repair. After all, these are prone to damage since they are moving parts. You certainly don't want to be caught with your fly open!

You can have your Tasker repair your zipper, hook, and eye, and let them know if you have preferred styles and designs. To lessen the damage, you can also get an expert to do your laundry so you can be sure your trousers are taken care of properly.
