Just hem them to the right length, and the bottoms with start wearing a bit and look natural in no time. :-)</p> <p>As far as rolling them, I don't think it works with those boots. I have a few pairs of jeans that are slim and straight and full-length even when rolled, they only look right, to my eye, with flat casual shoes like Converse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hemming-straight-leg-jeans#post-1725167 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 00:54:37 +0000 Anonymous 1725167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always wash and dry my jeans first, and then figure out where they need to be hemmed. I don't like frayed edges or homemade hems on jeans, so I pay to have them hemmed. That way, the stitching looks right, like it was done at the factory. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hemming-straight-leg-jeans#post-1725129 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 22:58:20 +0000 MsMaven 1725129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Same question I have about two pairs of NYDJ straight leg jeans I just bought online. I just tried them on and probably need 1 1/2 inches off. So Angie gave one answer that applies to my question as well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hemming-straight-leg-jeans#post-1725052 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 19:39:00 +0000 Aquamarine 1725052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Angie! I will wash them first and see if they shrink up a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hemming-straight-leg-jeans#post-1724978 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 16:04:39 +0000 Angie 1724978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote hack off two inches and no need to keep the original hem.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hemming-straight-leg-jeans#post-1724902 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 12:27:31 +0000 Aquamarine 1724902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I purchased these AG slim straights and I am wondering what the thinking is about hemming them. They are probably 3 inches too long. Is the roll ok, or should I hack some off to make it less bulky? (I didn't spend that much time rolling them here.) I want the most versatility for different shoes/boots...which is why these are first straight legs I've purchased in years. Internet browsing suggest straight legs should fall below the ankle bone...is this current thinking? That would really only work with flats.</p> <p>If I hack them, should I bother keeping the original hem? I can do this myself, but sometimes the frayed attached part gets messy and im unsure about rolling them (as an option) with that reattached original hem.</p> <p>Wearing them with the Pikolinos from NAS. </p>
