just hemmed them at lougheed today. :) it was $12.31(including tax) for regular hem and only took 30 minutes. pretty happy with the results.

Regular hem for $11 before tax? Sounds pricey, I believe the place at empire in richmond charges about $5 for regular hem.

did you get new pairs from retail? I am sure they give free hem in local malls. Got my TR original hemmed in the same retail name but different location :thumbsup:

Also , does anyone know a good and CHEAP place to get jeans altered ? The jeans are slighty baggy and I want to slim the bootcut down. Noones buying it :crybaby:

Depends what your meaning of Cheap is. Slimming jeans from the knee down is called tapering, it usually costs around $25 (unless I'm paying too much) I get all my R&R tapered because most of them are bootcut. I get them tapered at L.N Tailoring which is on Fraser Highway if you live near there.

not too pricey and you can get the "euro" hem i think its called where the original bottom part of the jean is reattached when they hem

^That is so true, the idiots there rarely check. There are a few people who have worked there for quite a while though and I wouldn't be so confident with them

I think it helps to bring a boy's co bag with you haha, I probably have some.

Whats RCSS? Real Canadian Super Store ? Is it called Super Stitch Corporation ? Would you know how much it would cost to patch some thinning material ? I'm scared it'll rip & create a bigger hole

Albert's Tailor across from downtown Sears does chain stitching. Many denim enthusiasts recommend him.
