OMG! I am so sick of having to either hem jeans for an inch or inch and a half or letting them flip up or drag. For that small amount!!!!
Any of you go through this???

I hemmed my Zathan 82M's HALF AN INCH! There was no way in hell i was letting the hems get chewed up.

Im anal about that though, I dont like it at all. And only my beater pair of jeans has frayed hems.

I French hem them; I used to just let them drag, since I thought torn hems looked cool. (All the celebs do it!)

I want Diesel Liv in 81m. PRPS makes my dream jeans, but not in price.

^^^ Is that like hemming with origionals??? or Euro hem??? I have been hemming them even for that small amount but its crazy!! Just frustraited and wondered what everyone else does. Kinda funny cause I will use the origional hem and by the time I cut the excess its a small amount, so its like what did I do this for??? LOL. Cause the hemming and stuff takes up some.

why not just do this one method?

DaciaRay.com ยป How to Hem Jeans

A) do it yourself
B) saves you money
C) you can let the hem down whenever you want.. b/c you really don't have to cut the hems.. you're just folding under and sewing in place.

it'll look like this.

Here are the ones I did today. And becasue it was only an inch I didn't have to cut at all. Sometimes I do just to get rid of the added bulk but these were pretty much right on so, yay!!!

Any 33" inseams and I'm in the same boat...I like mine between 31 and 32 usually. 33" needs big-ass heels.

I do mine like that too, when I need to. I need a 33 w/flat flats, I wear Diesel so not a problem most of time. There are a few cuts where a 32 is J u s t long enough. But if I wear heels once in a blue moon, I usually have to do 1 inch on a longggg 34. It's a pain in the ass

I have the same problem, I usually like about a 33" inseam....but have to take almost everything up 1-1 1/2 inches. I just do it myself, a fold hem, no one can ever tell.
I've got a pair of R&R sitting in my dresser right now waiting to be taken up, but they'll need about 2 inches.
