@Finn666:

^ 75oz triple cuff was just a bit too much in my book mate, sry
getting my MBB's hemmed to the perfect length and also I'm letting Mike (thedenimdoctor - uk) taper them a bit from knee down. not really into flattery denim in the knee-down-area tbh.!

Finn, pls share the measurement of after taper when u get back.

[Finn666]

^ will do…the hem measures 24cm now and i´ve asked for a 21.5cm hem afterwards...so we´re talking about a one inch taper from knee down! from 9.45" to 8.45" ...

[Nerkg]

Good call 9.75 is way to big, that's like a bell bottom. Even 9 is to big for me

[Finn666]

^yeah that´s what i thought as well…8.4" should just perfect to wear with sneakers and boots. any bigger and the sneakers would look lost and any smaller and the boots would look too huge.

[Nerkg]

Agree

[Nerkg]

thank The Lord!something other than the MBB. Looking great!^

[Finn666]

these deserve to be on the new page i though…brilliant fit and really great to see this pair. looking forward to what it´s going to look like with more wear. rock on Olle!

Yes, Finn. I m also talking about 1 inch taper, from 9" to 8" for me. Will ur MBB  start taper from knee only or higher?

I'm Also needing my MBB tapered and hemmed. Does anyone have recommendations for a tailor here in the states ?

[einstine]

Cant you send them to IH? I heard good things about denim therapy in NY, and railcar fine goods.

[Chris]

Self Edge, if you can drop them off in person in LA, NYC or SF (or find a proxy to do it for you).  Blue In Green will take mail in work, as will Blue Owl Workshop.  I've used both BiG and BOW and can vouch for their quality.  Self Edge is completely trustworthy and awesome as well.

[llvlaglne]

Not too sure if selfedge does any tapers though

Nope, I know that some of you like to mess with the cut, but we spend a lot of time working out (what we think are) perfect proportions, we like them the way they are…...

Hope this counts as the get 'em dirty challenge. 

[Nerkg]

Wow! Awesome!!
