Waist reduction on Jeans

Is it worth getting jeans two sizes higher than usual? Going off the measurements, I’d have to bring the waist down about 1.5 inches to get to where I like my mid-waist jeans to fit.

its gonna be decently expensive to bring the waist in and on jeans its very noticiable when the waist is moved cause the wear on the felled seam isn't there. You either have to wait a long while, have them restitch the seat entirely (which will cost more) or add wear yourself. i got a pair of jeans done and I don't think it was worth it, but YMMV

echoing that it's not worth it. are you trying to look for a higher rise? i'd look elsewhere instead of trying to make these work, 1.5 inches is pushing it in terms of how much you should take waist down

can I ask how much it cost you to get it done? I recently got two pairs of jeans that were mispriced online, they fit my thighs perfectly but my waist is swimming

I don't remember, it will depend on tailor anyway, so you are better off asking a tailor for a quote than me. I also tried to do it myself and fucked it, and had my tailor bail me out, which may have affected the price It cost more than the jeans cause they were thrifted, i know that lol was not worth id guess $80-100 minimum though

how did they look afterwards?

i use them but they restitched the entire seat which means they look ok, its noticeable that they don't have wear on the seam. I mean they fit me and I wear them now, but I don't think it was worth it and theres other issues cause of how much i had them brought in if you can return/sell the jeans you are likely better off doing that than trying to tailor them imo

in your opinion would you say it's better to just wear them with the swimming waist haha

wear a belt if they still have tags you could probably make a profit on them 🤷‍♂️ but N&F doesn't resell well

I'll probably just wear them, thank you for the insight
