Thank you for this very helpful tutorial!

[@superstarnightmakaui8273]

That was a good one because sometimes pants covers my shoes and I also cut my bottom pants cuff and it goes high to your shoes

[@R.Oates7902]

Thanks for the step by step instructions. It looks easy to do.

Does this work with boot cut jeans as well?

[@eajayy8969]

I’m wondering as well, I have a pair of 559s I thrifted and they’re quite long.

[@xXcangjieXx]

Check first if your vintage Levi’s are either selvedge or made in USA, in that case I’d advise you not to cut them as that would ruin a pair of beautiful (and maybe valuable) jeans. Cut up a pair of boring H&M jeans from yesteryear’s collection instead.

[@R.Oates7902]

I was thinking the same thing. Vintage Levi's are very expensive in the U.S. and if a person cuts wrong
#OMG you can't fix it!

[@RoybertPatino]

Super dope! cant wait to rip my pair of levis apart

[@LostInThought98]

Before I watch I just wanna say the mic is great for ASMR, mine surprisingly got triggered

[@marissaasri]

Nice! Thank you 👍🏼

[@yasminaelenamircea4785]

i bought a pair of jeans from h&m that aren’t over sized or something , and got my size ( 04 US 36 Euro) …idk how but they are extremly long , ik thats the styile but they are too long even for the stile you cant walk with them 😂and this never usually happens to me bc im almost 5,7 (170 cm)! imagine if someone short whould have bought those jeans 😂 anyways thank you for the video this is a life saver

[@person3194]

Omg I bought jeans from H&M too and they huge. I’m 5’2🥲

[@ValentinaMelB]

imma try this to my silver tabs after i get outta work if they're fucked you owe me 30

[@kyrar.749]

How do you stop them from fraying further?

[@GOD999MODE]

This is a key detail that no one seems to bother addressing.

[@a.jflores388]

It should be fine, and even if it does it wouldn't be noticeable, I did it on a pair of jeans a while ago and they're fine

[@elizabethk2072]

You can run a line of fabric glue on the inside, stabilises the fraying

[@GOD999MODE]

​​@@elizabethk2072 Do you know if stitching a straight stitch on the edge makes a difference at all? Perhaps about 1-2mm above the raw edge.

[@elizabethk2072]

@@GOD999MODE it will also work, just means you’ll have a visible stitch

[@alejandroalvarez7459]

everything cool until I am cutting them, I just wanna do it fast and I get impatient and try to rush, and yeah, I messed up

[@thrashcorewhore]

i just cut em with a razor blade and it looks all frizzy
