Keep these or throw them away?
I got these jeans hemmed and i really like the color and fit. But the hem itself is hideous (i wanted them to maintain the original hem but now it look cartoonish) do i keep these and hope no one notices or bite the bullet and buy another pair and have them do a simple hem?

i wouldn’t be happy with that hem, but they did do as you asked
Did they cut off the original hem and then sew it back on? Your best bet might be to just remove all the stitches and leave it raw. That won’t be a clean hem line but it will give you the most possible length out of what remains.
I have had this technique done much better, i wasn’t expecting it to be this bad
No, they folded the excess to the inside. And since this was cut a whopping 4 inches there is a LOT of it.
i mean this looks bad. its not a particularly interesting original hem, why try to keep it?
I was stupid
1000 nok down the toilet
I just keep mailing terrible clothes choices. Stuff that looks great at the store and looks terrible when i get home or after wearing it once or twice. And none of which I can return because its always I stupidly either hem it or take out the labels
I must have thrown away so much and wasted so money
you can raw hem jeans
nbd
But I like things looking neat
I have had my own family mock me for having phone lines on my raw denim
“You look immature in those”
If the rest of the fabric is in there you can get it fixed. Original hems are not needed, especially on new pants.
I'll try
thanks
I’d find a tailor that specializes in denim. You often need special machines because of the thickness of denim.
I don't think I can find any in Oslo
A good tailor should be able to handle it
Try not to be so hard on yourself, I also used to think it was important to keep the original hem, mostly because I’d seen people talk about it online
Like everyone else said, this should be pretty easy to fix since the fabric is still there
youll be able to find a tailor who can hem anything in oslo.
everyone here has whiffed on online orders tho, try not to feel too bad. Just take all this slow, shop in person when u can to figure out the sort of shit u like, and be patient.
This was done in person, the hemming was because they didn't sell these jeans shorter than 32 inch
I see, I misread a prev message of yours, my b.
What does it look like on the inside? That hem is really confusing, like the just folded in the extra material and stitched it.
I think keeping the original hem is really for older pants, or ones with some fading on the hems already? For a pair of white jeans, a new hem would probably be the same?
There’s no reason it has to look that bad. They didn’t sew close enough to the original stitch line at the hem and didn’t press them so it looks even worse
If they did not cut the material then literally any competent tailor can give you a normal hem or original hem, but agree with others that there isn’t a point to an original hem on these
Show us the inside. This might be a very very easy fix
