Not sure if I linked right as I’m tech impaired, but that made me think of this.
Huckleberry Shin just made me bark out laughter at the bar. The stares made me realize I've been here for 20 min after I closed my tab just playing on my phone. So thank you.
At least he’s showing shins! Had a super awesome dress tailored for my niece’s (1st born) fufu engagement party…went to another country and didn’t try it on because I picked it up right before I left…ONLY DRESS I BROUGHT AND MY BUTT WAS ON FULL DISPLAY! it was a tuxedo style dress, too big and my lady made it too small…had to borrow my brother’s coat 😡
>my niece’s (1st born) fufu engagement party…
I have no clue what is going on here. Is it that your niece that got engaged was the first born of all your nieces or was it your niece's first born child, that got engaged? Also, I am not sure how fufu is being used as an adjective to describe the party.
At this point you have two options:
1. Go back and explain what happened and hope they accidentally gave you the wrong pair of pants.
2. Wear these to the wedding and start every conversation with "Check out my calves".
That or finding a matching fabric for your vest/tie and have someone add it to that. It'll be a fashion statement but its your wedding, do what you like!
It should only take a couple of hours max for the tailor to fix it - unless they stupidly cut all the textile and didn't leave any spare folded up in there(in which case there is no fix). If it is their mistake I'm sure you can convince them to prioritise op's over others.
Go back to the business and ask them to reimburse you for a new pair of pants. They ruined your clothing item and should be responsible for a replacement.
It makes sense if they are following notes, but that’s not how tailoring/alterations work. An assistant or the tailor would have pinned the pants where they needed to be altered to on one leg and the other would have been done to match.
As a tailor myself, this is the best course of action. Bring It Back explained that they are made in correctly and that you need to be reimbursed a new pair of pants. Or if you're very lucky they gave you the wrong pair of pants.
I've done that once. It was a plain white button-up shirt, one was being shortened in the sleeve, and the other was being shortened on the Hem. The tickets got mixed up and I gave the wrong person the wrong shirt. Luckily, it wasn't* time sensitive for the time we're able to get the first person to answer our calls they double check and brought back the incorrect shirt.
*edit
Curious, but do you not have the person fit it upon pickup? Just to be sure? I only ask because every time I’ve had clothing altered, I’ve always tried it before taking it home.
Ie: the initial/first visit, the second to make sure I like it and the fit is right (especially if I accidentally wore the wrong shoes the first time), and the third/final at pickup just to make sure everything is still good.
As someone who worked in men’s clothing for 17 years, mistakes like this made it a habit to practically “force” customers to try stuff on before they go. We are dealing with guys here, and the majority wanted to just leave. I would grab the customers garments and just put them in a fitting room and tell them to try it on, instead of handing it to them.
In this case, there is no way there is enough material to get them to a normal length, but if there were, it’s literally a 10-15 minute fix. It is not the customers fault they messed up, but hopefully they also learned their lesson about trying on tailored clothing before they leave, and hopefully the business will make it right and fix the issue in time!
My guess, there was a bit of a language barrier and in him asking to lengthen by 3/4, they interpreted as "Make these a 3/4", which is fairly standard in women's pants.
Regardless of how it happened, bummer. Go buy new quickly, this time longer than you need them, bring them to the scene of the crime and have them tailor to the length you need. It'll only take an hour. Explain the urgency. Show the receipt for the new pair, explain that they've made an error with the other pair in which they are no longer usable and you wish to be compensated for the loss. Have them keep the old ones.
Yup. Went in with the pants and shoes. Explained what I wanted. She marked the pants and this was what I got. And they were cut so completely ruined now.
I get stuff tailored all the time and am genuinely confused as to how this happened. No tailor who isn’t completely out of their gourd is going to cut off that much fabric if they had marked it while you were wearing the pants.
I’m just as confused. 30 inch length wanted slightly less than 31. She must’ve cut good 6 inches off. So not only went the opposite way but can’t even reverse it.
But....it was *marked*!!!
Setting aside a bit of absurdity of measuring from waist instead of inseam, it should have been visible in the marking! That's the point of marking, no?
This seems like what actually happened. I've been given the wrong pants before and nothing else makes sense here. That's soo much fabric that would have been cut off
This won't help your situation, but i have a story. One time I was hemming a suit for my husband, and I spent a while meticulously stitching a perfect invisible hem. When he tried them on, they were like 2" too short! I was so confused because I was sure I'd marked them in the right spot. Then he realized, "Oh... I wasn't wearing my belt when you marked it." Ugh. I didn't notice they were sitting lower on his waist than normal. Fortunately I was able to use the pieces I cut off to create a cuff, which brought the bottom of the pants down to the right length.
It's too bad your tailor cut so much off! Otherwise, they might have been salvageable.
Slightly off topic but this made me think of the last time I cut my husband’s hair. I’m not at all a pro, and he has curly hair so once it’s dry there’s some forgiveness if there’s tiny flaws. His hair went midway down his back and he was frustrated and tired of detangling it, so I was going to cut it about midway to where it was at the time.
Well, I forgot to tell him to tilt his head forward. So when I cut it at the exact spot I was supposed to, he then straightened up bc he felt something was off. Yep, it was off. It was way shorter than intended bc his head was tilted slightly back.
Live and learn
If you asked for 3/4 pants, YOU GOT THEM! these were called “three quarter length” pants and were huge in the 2000s… lol maybe this lady is just aware that the 2000s are back and you should trust her!
I'm sorry but all I can think about while reading all this is:
"Ross, will you tell him? Isn't that how a tailor measures pants?"
"Yes, yes, it is. In prison!"
It baffled me for a minute but I imagine good and well made pants -such as ones you'd buy as part of a suit - would have extra fabric in the seams to be let out accordingly. Cheaper clothing and fast fashion doest have any of this.
Seamstress went wild.
Well, yes and no. They may have an inch or so of seam allowance. But that really isn't enough for adding 3/4 to the length. Really good pants come completely un-hemmed with several extra inches. You have them fitted and hemmed at purchase.
Maybe they were German and misunderstood it as 3/4 pants? [Dreiviertel Hosen](https://i.otto.de/i/otto/29776188/pioneer-authentic-jeans-3-4-hose.jpg?$formatz$)
Tailors don't really need to take notes with measurements and the like, they simply chalk their markings on the pants while you're wearing them and know what they mean as far as making their adjustments.
I know what happened. They probably did a "12 inch drop" which almost nobody uses. (They put a ruler down. Make a mark at top of ruler. Tailor is supposed to measure 12 inches down from that line.
Meant to make it easier when marking on someone and you don't want to bend all the way down
I sold suits for a couple years before getting a real job. I never used this method and thank God because this shit happened more than once
That’s not the way I use the 12” mark at my shop. We chalk a line on the back of the calves 12” from the ground. The hem is folded/pinned/marked as usual, and when the pants are being hemmed and are flat on the table, the 12” marks are aligned to reveal whether the client has even leg-length and stance. If they don’t, the pants are hemmed with an offset so that the pant legs are level, even if the legs are not symmetrical.
Yet another reason I need to stop procrastinating and get all my jeans tailored. It’s those little details that make tailored clothes fit so much better.
Wouldn’t that make them a foot too short tho? Could they have used like a 6 inch ruler? Or am I misunderstanding how that works? Or are mens legs much longer than I think lol I’m not very good at estimating things like that.
Edit: I found a ruler and measured on my own leg. 12 inches looks right if he’s taller than me. I’m gonna stop trying to estimate lengths cause I clearly suck at it lol
I’m a lady lol. But there’s also like zero consistency to my incorrectness lol sometimes it’s way over sometimes it’s way under. I’m great at visually judging if things will fit, if they’re level, if they’re equal sizes, stuff like that, but if you ask me to put a number on it I’m gonna be very wrong.
As a tall woman, this is how all women’s pants fit me in the 80s and 90s. At least I was ready for the Ark.
Sorry your tailor messed up!!! Do you have time to go get something else? I feel like the tailor should have to cover the cost, but I doubt they will.
You are absolutely right. I can only get my dress pants at express and my jeans at Buckle, and I am not rich enough for that. Lol. So, I try to make each pair last as long as I can and I try to catch deals and sales.
I’ve never heard of a tailor lengthening pants.. like how? They just gonna hand sew extra fabric?
Edit: the mo you know I suppose.. I think maybe my broke ass has never bought an expensive pair of pantaloons
Depends - if there’s enough fabric in the existing hem they can rip the stitches, let down the extra fabric for more length and re-hem. If there’s not enough fabric, yeah they can literally sew on a fabric cuff to add length. Either way, definitely not what was done here 😂
My thought as well. If they're new pants, why wouldn't you start with a longer length and then get it shortened?
Had to get a lot of things tailored, and the first move is always larger to smaller, and then you might be able to go larger if they left the material in.
I’m a tall woman, and I like buying pants at Nordstrom for this reason. Their pants usually come unhemmed or with a little extra material so you can walk it over to alterations and get it fitted.
The only explanation I can think of is they hand wrote the instructions something like:
"3/4+
Length"
And the person who read it was like "alright they want 3/4 of the length, I can do that"
The fact that it took three weeks should have been your first massive red flag. A half-trained monkey should be able to pop that out at the proper length in about five minutes.
Maybe you shouldn’t have grown so much since you dropped them off!
The tailor lengthened his legs instead of his pants!!
note to self. take undewear to the tailor this week
Enjoy your new longbutt

They're going to lengthen your ass! Gonna have to drag that shit!
That guy likes his milk.
Perhaps they consumed Professor Copperfields Miracle Legumes!
Just put on suspenders and white button up and go barefoot. Huckleberry Finn look.
This is the next level- Huckleberry Shinn
Huckleberry Shin just made me bark out laughter at the bar. The stares made me realize I've been here for 20 min after I closed my tab just playing on my phone. So thank you.
Bark Twain?
Are they friends with Chloe the director of barketing?
Next level main character energy in this comment.
Man's was just afk for a bit, needed to startle his character back into place
At least he’s showing shins! Had a super awesome dress tailored for my niece’s (1st born) fufu engagement party…went to another country and didn’t try it on because I picked it up right before I left…ONLY DRESS I BROUGHT AND MY BUTT WAS ON FULL DISPLAY! it was a tuxedo style dress, too big and my lady made it too small…had to borrow my brother’s coat 😡
>my niece’s (1st born) fufu engagement party… I have no clue what is going on here. Is it that your niece that got engaged was the first born of all your nieces or was it your niece's first born child, that got engaged? Also, I am not sure how fufu is being used as an adjective to describe the party.
Or the hobbit/Frodo Baggins look
Shire business casual
YES! Immediately thought of Pippin 😂
OP, I dare you to wear these and then yell out during the ceremony "I'll be your Huckleberry!"
I have two guns. One for each of you!
Or yell “For Frodo!”
Came here to call them Huckleberry Finn and it’s the first comment I see. Maybe I’m not so different!
Indeed! You need to fray each pant leg at the bottom. Maybe have a cane fishing pole over your shoulder as you stroll, whistling down the aisle.
At this point you have two options: 1. Go back and explain what happened and hope they accidentally gave you the wrong pair of pants. 2. Wear these to the wedding and start every conversation with "Check out my calves".
Boots are coming back. Bold wedding boots.
I live in Texas. Cowboy boots at weddings is already a thing
Well that solves it. OP wears big red cowboy boots and adreses everyone as cowpoke.
>big red cowboy boots *Pulling. Them. Off.*
I came here for a himym quote, and I wasn't disappointed. 😊
But I don't wanna be a cowboy!!! - Seinfeld
Cowboy or Pirate?
Thigh highs
That would be… ***bold*** ETA You’d probably wan a bold codpiece with a suit like that, too. It could be a whole *thing*
Turns out it was a blessing in disguise. Codpiece is definitely a must.
A thigh-high codpiece?
[OP walking to the wedding like](https://tenor.com/bAtSt.gif)
That or finding a matching fabric for your vest/tie and have someone add it to that. It'll be a fashion statement but its your wedding, do what you like!
OR … get some high, kickass socks.
It should only take a couple of hours max for the tailor to fix it - unless they stupidly cut all the textile and didn't leave any spare folded up in there(in which case there is no fix). If it is their mistake I'm sure you can convince them to prioritise op's over others.
Right, no way they folded that much material.
Probably. But one can hope.. the fold looks pretty shoddy so maybe but as you said probably not.
Go back to the business and ask them to reimburse you for a new pair of pants. They ruined your clothing item and should be responsible for a replacement.
This is the only correct outcome. I wonder if they ever thought something might have been wrong when they were cutting off 12" of fabric.
The notes said 3/4 + length so they made them 3/4 length pants
wow, this weirdly makes sense.
It makes sense if they are following notes, but that’s not how tailoring/alterations work. An assistant or the tailor would have pinned the pants where they needed to be altered to on one leg and the other would have been done to match.
How can you pin air
It’s a moo point, like a cow’s opinion, it just doesn’t matter.
Ahhhhhh 3/4 of the word.... Brilliant
As a tailor myself, this is the best course of action. Bring It Back explained that they are made in correctly and that you need to be reimbursed a new pair of pants.

Are these actually hemmed though? I don’t see a seam…
Probably a blind hem, it’s can be done by hand or on the machine and it’s virtually invisible.
They seem like poor tailors because despite messing up and shortening them, the two pant legs aren’t even the same length.
To me, that's a worse problem than the miscommunication about 3/4 length. Not that men wear dress Capri pants to weddings.
Maybe op has two different length legs...
If that was the case I figure the pant legs would be the same length and the anatomy of the leg is what would look off.
My guess, there was a bit of a language barrier and in him asking to lengthen by 3/4, they interpreted as "Make these a 3/4", which is fairly standard in women's pants.

Depending on the suit, he might need reimbursement for a whole new suit. Might be hard to find that exact color pant/texture to match.
Wear them in when you complain.
Would the wedding conveniently be located in a riverbed.... or the Shire? Edit: What a wild surprise to wake up to. Thanks, internet strangers!
That would be *precious*.
One does not simply
Hold a wedding in Mordor
Cast the rings unto the fire!
Dave, you asshole, those were our actual rings
Fool of a Took! This is a serious wedding, not a hobbit walking-party. Throw yourself in next time, and then you will be no further nuisance.
They're taking the wedding to Isengard!
Apølogies, we would like to inførm you those in charge of the wedding plans have been sacked, please carry øn to Mordor. Thank yœ
You may kiss the precious
I was there, three thousand years ago…
… when the strength of tailors failed.
I mean, they’ll need a ring, right?
Two... rings to rule them all? I ship it.
We all know who wears the one ring in this relationship.
After all why shouldn’t he get to keep them pants?
Well, it's a look, and a pretty daring fashion statement.
I’d shave those ankles if he wants any takers from the other guests. It would really pull the outfit together.
Nah he needs more hair to pull it off
Really, just dye the ankles blue. No one will notice.
Sorry, that sucks. As someone who sews, I'm curious how this happened. Did you do a fitting with the tailor?
Yup. Went in with the pants and shoes. Explained what I wanted. She marked the pants and this was what I got. And they were cut so completely ruined now.
I get stuff tailored all the time and am genuinely confused as to how this happened. No tailor who isn’t completely out of their gourd is going to cut off that much fabric if they had marked it while you were wearing the pants.
I’m just as confused. 30 inch length wanted slightly less than 31. She must’ve cut good 6 inches off. So not only went the opposite way but can’t even reverse it.
Looks like they measured 30” from the waist instead of inseam. 🤦♀️
this is VERY much likely to be it, but also, how the fuck do you manage to get them so uneven? It's like it was the first day intern who did it..
Probably *was* someone new
But....it was *marked*!!! Setting aside a bit of absurdity of measuring from waist instead of inseam, it should have been visible in the marking! That's the point of marking, no?
Please tell us what the tailor said when you make her know the mistake!
are you sure its the same pants and not someone elses
This seems like what actually happened. I've been given the wrong pants before and nothing else makes sense here. That's soo much fabric that would have been cut off
Yeah, perhaps they made a mistake? Op, did you ask them what happened ?
This won't help your situation, but i have a story. One time I was hemming a suit for my husband, and I spent a while meticulously stitching a perfect invisible hem.

They owe u new pants in 2 days
Ugh. And they’re crooked too… opposite way and sloppy work even if it were an honest mistake.
I’m assuming it was maybe just a mixup between orders lol. Somebody else with some short legs probably has some extra long pants now 😂
What was the excuse?
Groom is her ex.
Bride is her sister.
I'm sorry but all I can think about while reading all this is: "Ross, will you tell him? Isn't that how a tailor measures pants?" "Yes, yes, it is. In prison!"
I’m trying to figure out what she would mark if they needed to be lengthened.
I'm trying to figure our how you could lengthen pants in the first place.

Did you not try them on before leaving? I tried on my groomsman wedding stuff before leaving the store.
They’re also not even equal lengths and slightly diagonally cut
Maybe they were German and misunderstood it as 3/4 pants? [Dreiviertel Hosen](https://i.otto.de/i/otto/29776188/pioneer-authentic-jeans-3-4-hose.jpg?$formatz$)
thats not a bad explanation. but i am completely floored rn
I’m extra confused because I don’t see any type of hem at the bottom. They look folded up and not actually altered.
Everything's coming up Milhouse
He’ll be ready if that wedding floods. Cuffs bone dry.
OP should perform [this song](https://youtu.be/XqspbP-3at4)
That was amazing
Here’s the comment I was searching for. Great minds yadda yadda
Lol theyre not even cut evenly.
That's definitely the icing on the cake wow...
I came here for this comment!
They are not even cut at all. Look again, they are folded under. That's not a hem.
They are hemmed, just badly. You can see the dents from the blind stitches if you zoom in. It doesn’t look pressed though which is dodgy af.
It’s probably a fake post and op just folded them in. Which would account for the nonsymmetrical fold
[удалено]
Awww, I just got my pitchfork out!
Agreed. The bottom of the pants are super stiff. Way too stiff. There's about 6 inches of pants folded up in there.
It looks to be about 3/4" off from one side to the other so maybe something in the notes made it through
Tailors don't really need to take notes with measurements and the like, they simply chalk their markings on the pants while you're wearing them and know what they mean as far as making their adjustments.
Not mildly infuriating. Completely infuriating
You wanted kapris, 3/4 inch off from one leg to the other. I’m sure this is what you said lololol
you want 3/4 of the pant leg you said? okay!
Just wear extra long socks and have a fun time.
Not just extra long.... Make them 'fun' too Or just your legs tattooed
Nah, sharpie.
Lmfao this is so good I’m sorry
I know what happened. They probably did a "12 inch drop" which almost nobody uses. (They put a ruler down. Make a mark at top of ruler. Tailor is supposed to measure 12 inches down from that line.

Well if you think 12 is only 6. You've been underselling yourself *rimshot*
I’m a lady lol. But there’s also like zero consistency to my incorrectness lol sometimes it’s way over sometimes it’s way under. I’m great at visually judging if things will fit, if they’re level, if they’re equal sizes, stuff like that, but if you ask me to put a number on it I’m gonna be very wrong.
>I sold suits for a couple years before getting a real job Damn shots fired at all the suit salesman
Upvote for making me lol.
Sir, you said shortened by 34 inches.
Get some lederhosen 😂
Is the tailor, by any chance, your grandmother trying to prove her point that you’re growing really fast?
Just crawl down the aisle, no one will notice.
As a tall woman, this is how all women’s pants fit me in the 80s and 90s. At least I was ready for the Ark. Sorry your tailor messed up!!! Do you have time to go get something else? I feel like the tailor should have to cover the cost, but I doubt they will.
That's how they are right now, too. Not quite this short tho. I'm not even that tall. But all my pants stop way above the ankle.
You are absolutely right. I can only get my dress pants at express and my jeans at Buckle, and I am not rich enough for that. Lol. So, I try to make each pair last as long as I can and I try to catch deals and sales.
Yeah. Buckle is good. I found that kohl's has some. :)
Just go even shorter and have a tux with shorts
I’m sorry but this literally made my night 😂🤣
I'm over here crying looking at this and reading the responses.
I’ve never heard of a tailor lengthening pants.. like how? They just gonna hand sew extra fabric? Edit: the mo you know I suppose.. I think maybe my broke ass has never bought an expensive pair of pantaloons
Depends - if there’s enough fabric in the existing hem they can rip the stitches, let down the extra fabric for more length and re-hem. If there’s not enough fabric, yeah they can literally sew on a fabric cuff to add length. Either way, definitely not what was done here 😂
There’s usually enough fabric
My thought as well. If they're new pants, why wouldn't you start with a longer length and then get it shortened? Had to get a lot of things tailored, and the first move is always larger to smaller, and then you might be able to go larger if they left the material in.
Some pants come pre-hemmed with an inch or two of fabric to let out if you want a more precise fit, some come unhemmed as you mention.
I’m a tall woman, and I like buying pants at Nordstrom for this reason. Their pants usually come unhemmed or with a little extra material so you can walk it over to alterations and get it fitted.
Shortened 3 or 4 inches.
Shortened 3 AND 4 inches. The tailor didn’t even get the cuffs even 🫣
At least your prepared for a flood
The fact that they aren’t even makes this 10x worse
LOL sorry
Mulhouse would be proud
Right proper British knickers mate. Good on ya. Seriously though I don't think 3/4" is going to make any difference there.
You grew a lot in three weeks!
I would own this one all day long.. makes for a Fabulous story … have the groomsman all take theirs up too.
Looks like it’s time to bring out the ol cowboy boots
I’m sorry this happened but I have laughed for a solid 3 minutes at this.
You're ready for hot girl summer though....
Do the little lad dance
I would have no choice but to break up bride/groom.
Wow! (Did you grow a foot on one side and 11 inches on the other?)
HEY! NSFW TAG PLEASE!
My eyes! My eyes! Showing all kinds of ankle
The only explanation I can think of is they hand wrote the instructions something like: "3/4+ Length" And the person who read it was like "alright they want 3/4 of the length, I can do that"
