Anyone here get their jeans/pants taken in at the waist to fit better? I found a pair of the sickest Silvertab cargo jeans at the thrift and couldn't turn them down, even though they were two sizes too big for me. I took them to one alteration place by my house and the lady there said she couldn't do it because taking in the waist would mess with the pockets too much. I'm trying to see if there's another place around here that would do it instead...
I was given some jeans the other day by a friend, they're a beautiful wash and shape but the waist is at least 40" and I'm a 32-34". Inspired by the magenta pants above, and my Santosuosso's, i just added a drawstring.
Check the inside of the waistband, if there's no stitching that's going to get in the way, then cut a small hole either side of the fly (again, on the inside of the waistband), and use a big safety pin to thread a shoelace through.
Silvertabs probably have a patch on the back right, either remove it or just remove the vertical stitching so you can thread it through.
