When I do a cuff it always ends up being a little thicker in the back. Is that normal? Is that okay?
I try to fix it but it just goes back to being slightly uneven .

How easy is it to move a top button on a pair of jeans? I could do with a slightly looser waist

I think you’d have to find a new button first. I’d imagine the articulated ones get busted if you separate the two parts.
Then it would be a case of darning the original hole in order to strengthen the sees for a new hole to be made.
This is all guess work though. @Chesson will probably know.

@spitfiredealer You could always try this: (Picture from @SKT )

@spitfiredealer it can be done, you will not gain much though, you might get 1/2" to 3/4". If you think that's all you'll need though, then sure, we can sort something out for you. I would advise sending them to us so we can darn over the existing placement area to put some strength back into that area of the denim if the jeans are quite well worn.
If you want to give it a shot yourself though, we can send you out a spare tack button and pin with your next order. All you really need to change it is; a drill and a 3mm bit to get the head off the old tack button, a 3mm flat punch and a hammer to flatten the new pin in…Alternatively, send them to us and we'll get it done for you.

I bought one of those stretchers and it’s worked wonders on a couple pairs I have.

This is also an option @spitfiredealer - Don't go rumble around in the garage and pull out the car jack though, you'll most likely end up sending them to us for an actual repair then.

Car jack is awesome trick. Chuck Norris uses it.

Yea, car jack or hat stretcher trick may get you there. Otherwise, I'd say just sell em and buy a size up.

Ah, I see. To be honest, that is not something I have noticed particularly on any of the shirts I have / do own (sleeves being longer on western than work), but equally I have not studied the charts as I have the luxury of trying everything on!
No worries. Wasn't really an IH question, more of a general "why is this thing the way it is" question.

Have that stretcher too, works great !
Can highly recommend
-
@spitfiredealer I will recommend this contraption…just not for whipcord which I have found (like those before me) has zero give. Good luck!
-
Thanks for all the replies guys. Copped one of those stretcher's. Will report back with results

Jeans buttoned or unbuttoned when washing?
