I want to get new jeans but Citizens are long so I use to wear heeas all the time. I can't wear heals with 2 kids running around, just not practical for me.

I get them done at my dry cleaner - but be sure to ask them to leave the original hem - oh and wash and dry the jeans before you hem them!

I use Frank's Oakdale cleaners. they do a really good job. I ask for the hem to be sewed back on, it's an extra $4

Exactly what I do. I have short legs and get all my jeans hemmed. Some I leave a tad longer because I wear them with boots.

Nordstrom.

The last time I had them done at the dry cleaner, they went up too much. Chat Icon

Isn't there a seam then? I guess that's what I don't get!

That's what I do...but I don't have them wash new jeans first.

If you buy a new pair, you can get them done at Nordstrom, free of charge.

It's $20 though if you want the original hem sewed back on.

They sew it back, right where the seam already is.

I buy my jeans at National Jean Co. The hem is free, re-attach of the original hem is an extra $6.00 I think.

All my pants get hemmed.
