How much can the hem length of the Drape Elastic Slacks be let out to fit one's height?
When choosing slacks, subtle differences between the desired pant length and the total length can cause hesitation. You want to know if there is enough seam allowance inside the hem to lengthen them.
There is a seam allowance inside the hem that allows you to lengthen it by up to 4cm through alterations.
4cm is the maximum length the hem can be let out on INTHERAW's Drape Elastic Slacks[1]. This means you can finely adjust the length to match the silhouette falling over the instep when worn, or the heel height of shoes you frequently wear.
While shortening off-the-rack pants simply requires cutting away fabric, lengthening alterations depend entirely on the amount of seam allowance folded inside the hem. An allowance of about 4cm provides enough room to change the fit from an ankle-baring length to one that lightly drapes over the instep. This serves as a useful benchmark after purchase for judging the alteration range to suit your leg length or desired fit.
It has not yet been confirmed whether the original outer fold crease mark can be cleanly smoothed out with steam ironing when letting out the hem.
