Jeans & Trouser Hemming in Southampton

Want a price first? Send Kristina a photo on WhatsApp — and one of the label inside.
Jeans are made for one leg length and sold to everyone. Turning them up works with trainers and looks wrong with everything else, and cutting them off loses the faded original hem that makes denim look like denim.
The original hem can be kept: the leg is shortened from above and the worn edge stitched back on, so nothing about the finish gives it away.

Saying no costs nothing. Silk, velvet, leather and beading take longer by hand — you'll hear that price first, too.

Questions people ask
How much does it cost to shorten jeans?
From £15.50 for a standard hem, from £17.00 to keep the original faded hem so the shortening is invisible.
Can you take in a waistband?
Yes, from £22. Taken in at the centre back so the belt loops stay evenly spaced, which is what stops it looking altered.
Can wide-leg jeans be made slimmer?
Yes — tapering from the knee down starts at £25. It's the alteration that changes how a pair looks the most for the least money.
Do I need an appointment?
Yes. By appointment — the address comes with your booking. Choose a time on this page and you're seen straight away, with no waiting.
