Just aslong as you have a good tailor you will have nothing to worry about.
Thats what i plan to do with my large hoodies as they are to wide for me.

done some crewies a while back.
Its simple.
1- turn inside out and pin it to fit. I go an inch in each side up to the pit.
2- turn back the right way and try on
3- take it to a decent tailor
4- tell them that u want the tags to be resewn back on
ONLY DO if u cant sell or trade for your size. Worth remembering that you wont get the same bape stitch work, it will be a simple sew up job.
yeah, my Jeans fit fine waist, but the legs are about 5 inches too long??!!
anyone had jeans shortend by a tailor before? what was the cost?

Easy. - shouldnt be more than £12- at a stretch. Again wont be exactly the same stitch work but close. But just cuff em tho. thats free

i cant even notice, but you could soak the waist in warm water for a while to shrink it or jus wear a belt ^^

I have the exact same problem. Bape is too wide. Crews & Hoodies. When altering hoodies, does it effect the pockets at all?

theres a dry cleaners by me that has a seperate section for tailoring and i went in there with a pair of jeans that were too baggy for my liking but extremely comfortable. i told him exactly what i wanted, thin out the leg and add a small taper to the bottom. and sew it up with the same color stitching. got them back a week later and they look amazing, only $14 too.

Thanks for the replies. Im most likely going to tailor them then cause ive been to my tailor a couple of times and happy with the results. God losing weight is taking a toll.

If they're the washed look, get em takin in on the insides of the legs. I got a pair of my washed dog jeans taken in on the outside and the stitching was perfect, but the outside seams aren't faded anymore. They look kinda weird. Now i need to figure out how to fade em again.

you can get it done but i advise you just look for something your size.
T-shirts look kinda odd when tailored.
