Hemming guide
Can Jeans Be Hemmed?
Yes. Most jeans can be shortened with a standard hem, but the amount removed and the shape of the leg affect the finished look.
Hem My Jeans — $19Standard hems and original hems
A standard hem makes a new finished edge. An original hem reuses the factory edge, often to retain its fading and wear. Seamgrin’s current $19 offer is a standard hem.
How much can jeans be shortened?
The practical amount depends on pocket placement, leg shape, details near the ankle, and the look you want. If a large amount is removed, the new opening may land at a wider part of a tapered leg.
Choose the jeans length first
Try on the jeans with your usual shoes. Decide whether you want the hem above the shoe or resting on it, then mark that visible length.
