Re: If you get your jeans hemmed..
I did it with 1 pair and I wouldn't do it again. thankfully, the hemming was on a pair of jeans that I am not in love with. IMO, it doesn't ever look the same.... especially if the jeans are a mixed wash.
ETA: to answer your Q (duh! lol), I got it done at my dry cleaners.
they did a good job, but I like the look from the factory better.

Re: If you get your jeans hemmed..
My place will re-attach the same bottom for an extra $2. Def. worth it!!

Re: If you get your jeans hemmed..
dry cleaners or tailor-
make sure you tell them to cut the bottom off, hem the pant, then re-attach the bottom (so that worn looking bottom is still retained)
also get them a little longer than you want, beccause afteer they are washed, they shrink

I am 5'7" and I never thought I would EVER need to get jeans hemmed. but they make them soooooooo long now. and of course, the short length jeans are *too short*

Yes! I get mine done like that all the time. A good seamstress will know how to do this with no problemo.
Good luck!

Re: If you get your jeans hemmed..
I never had this done before, so I have a really stupid question.
If they are bootcut/flare at all, don't you lose that widening at the bottom?

i did it on a pair of bootcuts... I only needed them hemmed about 1 inch, so that wasn't an issue for me
