Have you ever wondered how to get your jeans to be the perfect length and still preserve their unique styling details and leg opening? Well, the answer is simple. An original hem (sometimes called a tricky hem or European hem) maintains the integrity of your jeans because the original hem of the jean is kept in tact. Original hems can be done be cutting the jeans or by following the uncut method. Daily Denim agrees that original hems may change the common misconceptions people have about hemming jeans. Jeans, just like almost every other item of clothing, may need a bit of tailoring to achieve a perfect fit. It just so happens that length is the easiest alteration you can make to help you achieve a perfect fitting pair of jeans. Original hems are the perfect solution for anyone who does not want to loose the signature look of their jeans.
Sure, there are some common misconceptions about what an original hem may do to hurt the look of your denim. In a great post on DailyDenim a few of these were mentioned, such as: The flare is lost once hemmed, getting clothing hemmed is a hassle, even issues having to do with stitching and destruction on the hem being lost once hemmed is discussed.
Good tailors are usually able to alter jeans using the original hem method for a slightly higher cost than a regular hem.Don't let the inseam length dictate which pair of jeans you wear. Choose your fashion, don't let fashion choose you!
