How to tailor denim to be bootcut

Here is the long awaited much requested tailoring video for your Levi’s 501s. I explain step by step how to tailor denim to give them a bootcut look similar to the saint Laurent D17. If you have any questions leave them down in the comments. Love you all!

Cool. Didn't know about widening that bottom hem this way. I'd recommend pressing the side seam open tho. Will make the seam look flat and like the original seam. !

great video, i’ve always wondered how your pants always have a perfect fit. going to do this once i get my sewing machine !

Well taught - clear and straight- forward. Using the right size needle (#16/100 for denim) is more important even than your sewing machine.

Oh my god ur litteraly the best youtuber for this 🙏🙏🙏

This was hella helpful. I was just wondering tho, why remove the waistband in the first place if ut just altering the rest of the pants? Is it so it matches up w it in the end?

Great video bro, can you show us how to repair garments like the hoodies you do or denim

[badkidvespa]

love the commentary, great vid, keep it up my guy

in my experience old machines are less likely to break if anything... less plastic parts and if they are somewhat well maintained will run forever. otherwise good video great idea!!!

Awesome video! Have you tried sewing the inseam instead of the outseam? I find it's a lot less tedious and then you don't have to restitch the waist band

We need more vid uploads I've watched every vid atp

great video! do you think it would for with chino-like textures? im afraid it will rip the pants too fast

[vulinh]

Great video! Quick question, could you do this with a pair of semi wide denim? Like not crazy baggy, just a bit wider than a regular pair. Would anything change? Thank you!

That was sweet 👍 so at the bottom of the needles when your doing the thigh tapper you just flare the sewing out above/at the knee to the edge of the pant? Pretty obvious I guess but otherwise you’d just stop at the end of the pins 😅

W vid, am going to try that and absolutely ruin some test jeans lets go

[kingwavy]

After you cut up the inseam and match the sides to give the bottom hem more room..do you just sew a straight line up to where you stopped opening it?

[tinahuttner]

Wondering if temporary hem tape would work for the time being. Got a pair of cargo pants and for the time being want to use hem tape that you can iron on.

nice job, how much time does it take approximately?
