Where to hem motorcycle jeans

[lt720]

Hi all,

Just bought a pair or Klim Fifty 2 jeans and need the length hemmed (jeans fit great otherwise). Anybody have recommendations for a tailor in SF to hem motorcycle jeans? Or would taking it to a typical tailor work?

I had my cortechs hemmed at a nearby dry cleaner

It's pretty typical work. Unless there's Kevlar that low

Johnson’s leather in SF.

My speed and strength jeans were oddly long, I just rolled them up and have that hipster cuff going on. no tailor needed but I look like a douche. but I look like a douche anyhow.

The Kevlar liner even in fully lined jeans stops well before the ankle so anyone that does hemming can do it.

Ask him to use his strongest thread.

OP, you may want your motorbike trousers to be longer than ordinary street trousers. While seated/squatted the trousers will come up and expose your ankles. My riding trousers are deliberately 2 inches longer.

I'd do it on the La-Z-Boy, in the living room, maybe with Kevlar thread, and while watching the news.

I suggest hemming them at the ends of the legs. If you hem them in the middle of the legs, that would make them shorts.

If you get them long enough, you could double up around the knee area, and still make it past the ankle. :laughing
