Trousers.

Usually the fastest work we do. Waist, seat, taper, hem, and the break over your shoe.

Walk-ins welcome. 3801 Kirby Dr, Upper Kirby. Doing this since 1998.

01What we do

The hem is not just the length.

Off the rack, trousers are cut long so the store can sell one length to everyone. That is why yours have never been right since the day you bought them. Hemming them is quick work for us and it changes how the whole outfit reads.

The detail that matters is the break, which is how the cloth sits over your shoe. Full, half, or none is a matter of taste, and we will show you the options on you, in the mirror, before we sew anything.

02What it costs

Bring it in. We will tell you.

It depends on the garment and what it needs, and we would rather look at it than guess at it over the phone.

We will tell you what it needs, what it will cost, and when it will be ready. If it is not worth doing, we will tell you that too, and we will not charge you for the opinion.

Walk-ins welcome. 3801 Kirby Dr, Suite 100, Upper Kirby.

03The rest of the bench

Not the right page?

Everything wearable comes over the same bench. Pick the garment, or just bring it in and let us look at it.

06Questions

Questions people ask.

Can trousers be let out as well as taken in?
Both, within limits. Taking in is almost always possible. Letting out depends on how much cloth was left in the waist and seat seams. Bring them in and we will check.
What is a trouser break?
The break is how the hem sits over your shoe. Full, half, or no break is a matter of taste. We will show you the options on you, in the mirror, before we sew.
Can you hem trousers without losing the original cuff?
Yes. Cuffs can be removed, added, or kept and reset at the new length. Tell us what you want and we will match it.
