Heming the length of pants

[Hayamate]

Hello everybody,


I just wanted to know how many inches can be taken from the length of pants. I bought a suit jacket on sale, but the matching pants where 30x34. Waist is fine, but my usual length is 30. Is it possible to shortening it by 4 inches?

Absolutely, but you'll probably also have to have them tapered some as well. You can basically shorten pants as much as you want up to the bottom of the pockets. Lengthening is dependent on how much material is left inside the hem.

This is common, most suit pants are sold unhemmed, so you can get them tailored at the right length.
