I don't think I can do a shorter length, because the with changes over the two inches or so that I am going to hack.&nbsp;</p> <p>Angie, very clear. I will do as you say. I don't think I am going to hem...actually I will think about it before I go for a full hack without leaving enough to hem.</p> <p>Thank you! I will post pictures when I have done it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-hack#post-1786730 Sun, 12 Mar 2017 15:07:36 +0000 Angie 1786730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hack 2 inches. And waving to my boots twin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-hack#post-1786725 Sun, 12 Mar 2017 14:38:14 +0000 minimalist 1786725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just hemmed a very similar looking pair! Tried them pinned up, worn with low ankle boots. Haven't worn them yet, though. Can you post pictures with them pinned up? </p> <p>Are the hems such that you could baste them to shorter length without cutting off any fabric? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-hack#post-1786721 Sun, 12 Mar 2017 14:03:20 +0000 DonnaF 1786721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say hack to make the shorter length look intentional, but why don't you pin, paste or tape them up first to see how you like the length?&nbsp; Maybe start with an inch or two (couple of cm or four)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-hack#post-1786715 Sun, 12 Mar 2017 13:37:51 +0000 Jane 1786715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Liz, that is so wise. I think I am uneasy about it, hence the post to the forum. Thank you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-hack#post-1786711 Sun, 12 Mar 2017 13:13:06 +0000 Liz 1786711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not much good on hem lengths, so I'll let others chime in on that. But I wanted to say I've never seen anyone wear them in my city, either. I think you'll need to decided if you're comfortable wearing pants that others won't "get," because they don't understand it's a style. If you are, then go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-hack#post-1786701 Sun, 12 Mar 2017 12:07:50 +0000 Jane 1786701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello Fabbers, so, in the UK I don't seem to see so many shortened wider trousers / jeans. But I do like the look, I think.&nbsp;</p> <p>These white cords I enjoy wearing and I was thinking that really I should take up, to make the shorter length look intentional. They are usually looking a little more pressed but I wore them yesterday.</p> <p>I am only a little over 5ft and I am pear shaped.&nbsp;</p> <p>I would like to hack, and then I would wear with the boots shown.&nbsp;</p> <p>Do you think I should hack, even if in the UK, when I don't seem to see that many shortened widened pants?</p> <p>All views very welcome and do say if you think the pants just aren't for me, hacked or not.&nbsp;</p> </p>
