I’ve had enough of the ignorance in this comment section. You are allowed to have your own opinion, BUT be respectful. For starters, I’m not telling anyone how much to taper THEIR pants. I’m only showing the steps to take if anyone wants to do their pants the way THEY want! This video is up to the PERSON to taper any way THEY want to. Secondly, just because someone wears fitted clothing does not make them “gay” or weird. Ya’ll act as if ppl can’t like different things. Quit being so narrow-minded and judgmental. If you have a hard time understanding that, then this channel may not be for you.
What's the name of your stitching machine?
Well fucking said.
Great job !!! thank you for the inspiration gonna do my pants...... and your right about the big thigh struggles
Can u send me a pair or a couple we wear the same size 💯😎
would it be same process for making the jeans smaller in length say if i had 30 in length and wanted 28
Idk why you popped up in my recommendations, but I'm now suddenly into sewing.
Same bro
Me too
Yup! I just saw him doing it and now I'm going to go get me a sowing machine so I can do some jeans that I have that were from when I used to be bigger in size and since losing the weight I no longer use them so they'll be the perfect test jeans to practice with then maybe do a shirt to. Thanks @ I AM RIO.
@Kingy B Nah, actually did it. Tapered some pants I used to wear when I was a fatter
@@mytubebobbie06h I tapered some Cargo pants for a more fitted and modern look.
Its midnight and I'm watching some guy tailor his pants
@@Guru.Verses sorta I guess. I'm just not skilled enough. I don't trust myself with my jeans like this.
Same bruh
Bruh it’s almost midnight fml
I feel it.
Fr
I’ve never in my life been able to buy a pair of jeans that fit
Havin a good tailor in ur life is key,but most folks don't wanna spend xtra money on they clothes,especially if u only spent $35 on ur jeans and now u gonna spend another $25-$30+ so they fit just right. And u got 5 other pairs that need to be fixed.
Same here :(
Me too....so i wear shorts
Dom Dubz Same but it’s so annoying cos my thighs are kind of big (I’m not fat lol) and usually I can’t find the right size :(
Dom Dubz I’m pretty sure you’re fat 💀.Its hard to find jeans that fit when you’re fat. I know from experience
Everyone struggling being too “thick” while I’m looking like slender man over here
welcome to the club
I'm taking a year from sports and spending more time at grandma's to gain more weight
Hey man. As a thick thigh person. I’d rather be slender. Its really annoying.
@@silhil I'm so skinny that you can see every vein in my arms
yes.
I just bought jeans that were a little too long for me, and me and the cashier were talking about tapering jeans and this shows up in my recommended bruh the government is listening in 😂😂😂
Too funny...
Logiko that’s a whole big fact I was watching ten top places in the world this canyon in Arizona showed up now mind you I was watching it on my smart tv after I leave the house I open my phone and the canyon was showed in a add like. Places to travel lmaoooo
Your microphone is always listening inorder to display user targeted advertisements
Haha Funny Joke
Yeah your phone listens to you and gives advertisements based on what you say
The kids in my school made fun of me that im wearing "weard pants" but now i give it a go, my pants fit exactly how i wanted to.
And the kids dont make fun any more. They appriciade my work i did to my pants. THANK YOU SO MUCH (i know my english is bad, i live in schwizerland)
ik im late but Your english is awesome and kids can be so cruel
Kids are so mean!! I’m glad they’re leaving you alone.
That's cool and your English is better than some people in my state 😂😂
Great tutorial, thank you. I’m glad that many of us are still using/ learning these simple money saving skills instead of just throwing out. I just started making my own pants but could not find a pattern for tapered ones, which resulted in me looking very tubby in them, “sew like the wind”!
Wow dude you saved a kid like me who can never find jeans my size to fit slim. This video was a hit for me. Saved
Jaquan tell me about it. I’m so short with big legs and butt. I have a hard time finding jeans that fit my waist with the correct length. Or the length is awesome but the waist is childlike. Designers forget about my size. My perfect size would be 38/28. 40/28 in some clothes. American eagle does well for me when my size is instock. I’m so gonna try this.
Fr, I got some nice ass Tru’s but they are baggy so I’m like. Y i k e s.
Capri Cold me too. I need to get rid of them. I did buy a sewing machine, but I’m still not there yet.
pimpmyride go to a thrift store and get really cheap pants to practice on. Just make sure the pants fit
Bezeir lol. I get them from a place that sell new stuff for bout the same price. But I get it. Just gotta practice.
For someone who is self taught I'm really impressed. Great job! I have 1 suggestion for you...always do a back stitch at the beginning and end of any sewing job. The back stitch is what's really going to lock it in so you don't have your seam coming out after a couple of washes. That's my 2 cents but I think you did a great job. Thanks for posting.
Do you understand what he means about folding the two end pieces? For the cuff??...
@@coltonhorton8776 I don't please explain. I do back stitch at the ends so I please tell me why I shouldn't.
@@coltonhorton8776 Look up French Seam
@@coltonhorton8776 yes, basically just stitching them to look smaller. That's if you cuff (roll up) the bottom of your pants.
You've inspired me to buy a sewing machine and do this myself. I have a lot of pants tray I can alter to my liking now! Thank you so much! You have made my day!
I have never been able to find a pair of perfect fitting jeans my whole life. I might have to invest in a sewing machine now because of this video. Thank you for the tutorial!
you should see my baggy pants, i look like a priest
Lmaoooo
Same 😂
Same
fk
Damn😂😂😂
Ive never seen someone put a cinematic on a sewing machine
Lamo
NovEX VoltEX I think you got the lettering wrong m8
me fuck you
Anjirrr wkwkwk
The zoom on the thread tho 😁
Thank goodness I found you! My grandsons are always complaining that their school trousers are way too baggy and I have struggled to make them more slim line but now you have taught me a nice easy way so you sure do have one happy granny and happy grandchildren thank you x
Just wanted you to know that this inspired me to buy a sewing machine...
But now my jeans are stuck in the sewing machine and I’m currently questioning my life choices.
The struggle is real
Samantha Surigao 💀
I feel the pain. R.I.P.
You also need the right needles/threads for different fabrics and knowledge on how to set the tension so your cloths don’t get stuck. ☺️
Samantha Surigao ngl u should of went and bought new jeans and try them out first to judge the fit
Im a tailor n u did a good job. I do these all the time. Bless up. Good vid
How much does it usually cost to taper a pair of jeans?
Oh k. 0.01¢
Can u teach me
findmeOnMaps I would imagine you would have to do it from the inseam if you have selvedge fabric.
How much do tailors charge to do tapers ?
Maan, i have no idea how you showed in my suggestions but this helped me alot
Same. The one time those random videos are super useful.
Lmao ong
some real shit. like i'm a big-ish dude and I can never get jeans that will fit me right so this video perfect for me
Same! Dope video!
i'm lit right bro, especially when they come out sort of expensive for us big mf’s, now we can buy sum cheap shit and do it on our own
I just bought my first sewing machine and decided to learn at age 39. Lol. I thought this video was awesome -- especially for a beginner. I just hemmed my first jeans tonight and tomorrow and I'm going to Taper them thanks to you!
Rio I just bought me a sewing machine tonight, and decided I was going to start learning how to make clothes and how to tailor my own clothes, and possibly make some money on the side. Thank you for sharing this video. It's my first video of you. Your way of tailoring is so less complicated than what I've seen on other videos and you're a guy and not to mention, not trying to be funny you are black lol! I really appreciate this and I already subscribed to you. Thanks again so much for sharing you ROCK!
Hahaha. No problem, homie! Thanks for watching and supporting! Much love! 💯
I AM RIO P. Top 3 dresser on CZcams hands down.... thanks for these videos.
One of the best DIY jean tapering tutorials i've seen, and believe me, I've seen a ton of them. Thanks, Rio
Thank you!
You and I are in the same boat! I hated how baggy some of my chinos fitted so I watched a shit load of tutorials on how to tailor my own clothes. I always get asked where I find such perfect fitting pants at. I’ve gotten so good that I started tailoring my shirts also. Thanks for the video man!
What type of sewing machine would you recommend man ? im really looking into investing in one
Chris Quiroz I would recommend a Brothers sewing machine. I wouldn’t buy one with a bunch of stitching patterns. Alll your really gonna use is a straight stitch and a zig zag stitch. I would actually invest in a really good iron. A nice flat surface area is key to a good stitch.
Ceasar Diaz Forsure man thanks! :)
Ceasar Diaz make videos
Ezra Inthehouse the thought has crossed my mind. I don’t think my videos would be as cool as the ones that are already on CZcams 🤣
I love coming across videos like this, such a great way to learn one of the most useful skills. I wish home economics was still around when I started high school in 2007.
Well, 4 years later, I'm learning how to tape my pants I watched several other people do it and they made it so complicated. You just took all the fear out of tapering my pants away from me. I thank you so much❤
I've just tapered 5 pairs of my favorite brand of pants because they don't make them tapered. I eyeballed it and drew the outline before sewing it. BUT didn't think about using a tapered pair of pants that already fits me perfectly as a template! Duh!!! You're a genius!! I gotta remember that on my next pants-tapering projects! Thumbs up Rio!!!
I really admire you for taking the initiative to tailor your own pants and you did a good job too. Very impressive! 👏👏👏
This video legit made me go buy a sewing machine. I'm 6'5 and old navy is the only place I can get a pair of tall man jeans that fit me just right. I'll use those as a guide and get all my other brand jeans fitting perfect. Thank you for this video, you've got me started tailoring my own cloths.
Bro, this is something I have been going back and forth with for years....tailoring my own shyt. Im going to get a sewing machine - You just motivated me to do it. Great video!
Yeah I've always wanted to be able to taper my own jeans. Seems like a great skill to have!
How did it go?
For once, CZcams's random suggestions landed me somewhere useful and helpful.
Thanks for the video, keep up the great work!
Right!
Could never get my jeans to fit nicely around my ankles without having to strategically roll them, I am so keen to try this one out!!! thank you so much, I love learning new things, you a real one!
awesome. When she was still alive, my grandmother taught me how to sew. She said “this skill will come in handy when you are traveling, or when you get injured.” 😊
Thank you for sharing this video. I need to learn how to use a sewing machine now.
Omg I need to to this. I’m the youngest in my family so I only get hand me downs. And my only sister likes bell bottom jeans and in my opinion I think that is just... bad. So now I can finally not get yelled at by my mom saying I’m waiting her money.
I’m so excited!
My mum loves to sew stuff so I can learn how to sew from her...
And get a free sewing machine.😅
I agree Bell bottoms are horrid... tailored with clean lines and a pair of chucks you can never go wrong
Glad I discovered this video. Thanks for sharing. Awesome tutorial!
I've been wanting to learn to sew and start doing alterations - maybe even make some stuff from scratch, and this is a great video. I just went through an ordeal getting some jeans altered/tapered - lots of $ for a terrible job. Won't be doing that again.
Bro my recommendations actually came through clutch today! Good stuff bro!🔥🔥🔥
Exactly I never watched this dude in my life but this shit fire
Arman i’m dedd lmaoo i thought i was the only one but this video was fye af❄️
i remember watching him when i was a sophomore in middle school & thought his content was great enough to be at a million subscribers. i'm here three years later and find him after so long.
i'm glad to be back finding your content again! slept on youtuber for sure!
Aye man I just wanted to thank you for this video. Cause of you I finally found a reason to pick up sowing and have been tapering and restitching a lot of my jeans and shorts during quarantine.
I was actually about to sew and taper my jeans and your vid popped up in my recommended !! Perfect timing! Awesome vid 😁
Popped up on my suggestion and now I’m into sewing. Shout out to you bro, dope video
Very helpful tutorial video. Please do make more sewing tutorials. We have the same sewing machine and scissors as you do so this video is perfect for me to learn from. I started learning how sew by making lip reader face masks I'm now selling on eBay and my teenaged son asked if I can learn how to taper his jeans and other trousers when I found your video. Thanks so much for sharing.
Update:
I tapered a pair of sweat trousers based on your tutorial for my son and he was happy with the results. Thanks again for the tutorial. One thing I did before commiting the actual sewing was to use safety pins on the lines I drew so he could try the fit since I didn't want to mess around with my seam ripper tool if it was too tight.
Thanks a lot! I tried this just now for the first time and I am happy. I complained about my jeans being too baggy for me, and now I made them too skinny for me. A little more practice and I'll find the sweet spot. Great tutorial for sure!
This video was dope....I thought I was the only one obsessed about tailoring my pants to my formal custom fit. Appreciate you sharing...gonna try it for myself
Never touched a sewing machine in my life, but your video has inspired me to try and tailor some of my old jeans that are collecting dust in my closet. Great tutorial!
Bro just throw them LRG’s away they’ll never be back in style 😂. I debated the same got a full closet of them haha
@@allenjacob2719 I'm just trying to be the first guy with JNCO skinny jeans lol
This was a really nice job. I'm going to try this with a pair of my "throwaway" jeans.
Thanks for noting that you're not trained... it gave me the confidence to take some old jeans and just go for it. It's also a great way to save a buck and look stylish... I'm also glad to see a person (male/female/gay/straight) defend their station with intelligence...
Dope sh!t homie thanks for the motivation, you literally empower me to do this myself instead of paying a tailor. It looks simple and doable. #salute
Bro I love your outlet videos!
Same, I'm on it too. Picked up any heat lately? Or been on any lives?
its simple except using sewing machines is not simple... not to me anyway... i do this but with a needle and thread while i watch tv 👌🏻 takes like 30 mins to do a pair of pants
Appreciate the video man, don't worry about people hating that don't wear clothes properly
Thank you for making this video! I bought a seeing machine and I'm so excited to start tailoring. My pants have always been too long for me and I would hand sew but I want to upgrade now. 😊
I'm so glad to find this video! I like to wear slim style pants but women's fashions change and I haven't worn tapered pants since my emo days.
Now the style is coming back, but I've gained weight since my emo heyday. I ordered some pants but by the time they'd arrived, I've lost some weight and the pants are baggy! Thank you for this video. Especially the tip at the end for when u cuff the jeans.
Who here is watching this with the intention of actually tapering a pair of pants?💀
nobody
🤚🏽
Depends how hard it is 😂
lmao me
I mean to try it like maybe once to see if you like how it looks and fits 🤔
Im a small guy and needed almost all of my pants to get altered! Now im thinking of buying a sewing machine so I can taper my other pants!! Good job bro!
This is honestly a good start. A serger is what you need to make sure that seam doesn't split.
Great video! I love how you went step-by-step through your process. It doesn’t look crazy difficult but it’s still something I will need to practice with but it’s manageable and I love it
I forgot how I got to this video but I'm glad I did. Thanks man! I'm definitely buying a sewing machine.
Man I've been thinking about getting rid of my old Levi Jeans for years but now I want to do this. Thanks my dude.
We all know we came here not expecting to need a whole setup
brosneak 😂😂😂😂 true
brosneak lol yes sir
Use sewing machines are dirt cheap. Invest.
Sploob.tv k
@@GuysInGreenHats but I dont know how to sew
You are a natural educator, earned yourself a new subscriber. Honest clear content.
man, ever since lifting weights I never fit skinny pants, this is a life saver
Lol bruh I love how you use a hardware store tape measure, as a complete rookie I'm doing the same. I love it.
Oh my gosh thank you for this easy and detailed how-to video! This is just what I needed. 🤗
Nice! I've gotten into sewing during lockdown and I have a pair of pants that are definitely getting this treatment! Great video, thanks!
Me: March 7, 2019.Stitching for a man is like feminine yo
Also me: March 8, 2019: Real men stitch.
Me 2 mins later: looking up prices of stitching machines on Amazon
2020: Owns a whole clothing company
We upppp
😂😂😂😂
Don’t be gay yo
who said gay to a male tailor is actually gay
STEP 1: Understanding that manufacturers make clothes for everybody so they fit no one.
STEP 2: Realizing your clothes need to be tailored for money by a man or women with a cost.
STEP 3: Do it yourself!
3:30am and I was just watching CZcams videos and clicked on this as it was recommended and learnt something new.. Thank You! :D
Thank you! I'm a new sewer and this is the first tutorial that has made sense adn really helped me. I've a short short inseam and my pants look ridiculous if I don't taper after hemming
This was super awesome!!! My dad bought me dude pants and I didn't like how baggy they were! You are a life saver!!!
I’m definitely going out to buy my sewing machine
Omg thanks, your video makes me want to try do it own my own now. really inspiring.
I think this is is gonna be my very first sewing project!! thanks for making this!
Dope now I have a new use for my sewing machine this info was gold. Thanks bro🙌🏽
I always wondered how to do this myself and I definitely feel like I can myself bro appreciate this video
Those fit perfectly. Do more vids like this, I need to get me a sewing machine and start tapering my pants also
Thanks!! Your video was the 1st one to pop up on my search...& VERY helpful!! :)
man your precision is on point.
I stumbled on this video somehow and I suddenly have the urge to taper all my bootcut pants from 8 years ago. Thanks boss, it saved me some paper that's forsure
Slowly uploading the catalog as promised… vid is from June 2018. More on the way…
I AM RIO P. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 but train your legs
I AM RIO P. You just help increase my. Wardrobe can show me how to do Suit jacket
Awesome video bro!!! You have inspired me to do what you are doing, Gone are the days of wrong fitting jeans!!!
Nice video, Thanks bro! I’ve been meaning to learn how to tailor my own pants. Definitely looks easier than I thought!
Dude you should get some tailors chalk, it's perfect for temporarily marking fabric
Or use bar soap, its temporary and its cheap and easily removed
Ricky Belardi
Can you use normal chalk?
Really glad I stumbled upon this, you really made it as easy as possible while explaining why and how you can do it on a more advanced level.
Thanks great video! I’m a big guy and often times they don’t do slim/skinny fitted correctly in my size. This has inspired me to buy an sewing machine and make adjustments myself.
Just got me a sewing machine and gonna try to tailor some pants! Thanks bro! Great video!!
Your video just popped up in my recommendations , and I'm glad to it. It is pretty usefull for me!!
Sick video. Thanks for making it, goona give this a try
This is dope !! I’ve always wanted to learn how to do this ! Thanks a lot bro 🙏🏽💯💯💯💯
Omg I needed this. Thank you so much ❤
Great job young sir....😃....I also do alterations (took a sewing class at JOANN fabric store a few years ago and then bought a sewing machine)...Good to see a young man who takes pride in doing things for himself and valuing learning a craft)...So yeah man, great job!!!✌🏽
id also suggest this to be done with jeans that are stretchy, makes it so you can make them pretty snug and not worry about them feeling too tight. doing this with something like a levi denim would make getting your feet in the bottom kinda hard without adding a zipper.
you can also make a zipper pant tutorial lol. LOTS of people want those .
Thanks for this video! I've been wanting to learn this for a long time. Gonna try this on an old pair of pants. Great and informative tutorial!
Love the taper. I’ve started tapering my scrubs to save me from buying a new scrub wardrobe. At 4’11 and shaped like a pear I’ve always taken in the waist and hemmed but now I can taper…YeeHaw! I hope my pants turn out as nice as yours. Tysm for this no Bullshit video.. I watched the whole thing w/o speeding it up or skipping parts :)
Wow great video man.really helpful and liked your style✌️
Danggg dude, your video was so satisfying, I already hit the like and the subscribe button for ya dude, love it much. More power to you man! Cheers!👌
I actually followed your way of stitching and worked really well. Cheers to you bro 👍
Yoo those came out freshh 🔥 i liked and subscribed 👍🏻
Instead of using sharpie.. buy a chalk broo
or soap
@@user-ug7rb3dn9sahh yes2
I love the giving advices in the comments. I hate that this is a taboo or discussion why this is "gay". It's noting wrong with knowing how to dress yourself and look good.
Belal Qayoumi I'm with you. Snide remarks need not apply. Constructive comments such as using tailor chalk is ok. The man is doing good by posting these videos. He's passing on knowledge learned and probably learning from respectful commenters, too. Aren't we all here for each other. Like you say, nothing wrong with knowing how to dress and look good!
In the early 2000's I used to rock my pants like that people used to look at me funny......time changes everything.
How baggy or not baggy?
@@santicheeks1106 not baggy at all. That was a time guys were wearing everything baggy though but that style didn't look right on me.
Same. They called them shotta jeans. I’m from nyc.
I never did it but I was in 7th grade in 2000 and I remember a few heads wearing rubber bands at the bottom to keep them from like even touching the shoe. Haha 5 in the a.m and I'm reminiscing about pants and shit
Great video! You gave me the confidence that I needed. I figure if you can do it, so can I...so I just placed the order for my first sewing machine. Can't wait to make some adjustments on my own clothes, as well as some for my wife. Thanks, man!
Nice tutorial! I usually do it on the inside of the leg but your method looks way better! Will try this in the future
I've always wanted to tailor my jeans because it's hard finding jeans that fit just like I like. You came up on my recommended, & I'm glad you did. Seems easy enough to do. I will definitely have to try this out! Thanks for the awesome video!
Rudis Ascencio same
Rudis Ascencio I highly recommend Railcar Fine Goods. They professionally taper and repair my jeans :)
Did you do it tho?
How did you do?
I love ur video man✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾I used to work on my pants my self and it fits the way I want it to..
Excellent work dude. One note for all those trying this out. Be sure the pants your using as a guide are inside out as well. This is to ensure you don't accidentally run permanent marker down the side on the pants you're not altering. Most will say this is a given. However, it's easy for one to make this simple mistake when they're so excited to try this out. Let's be honest.... we've all made silly mistakes big and small.
Have fun saving your your straight, wide, or boot cut jeans/pants from the donation bin or back of the closet.
Cheers from Seattle.
Dude, your video was totally helpful. I have several pairs of jeans that have a sick ass wash but that fit me too big and I was never able to find my size. So now that I've seen your video, I am motivated to go out and get myself a new sewing machine and do the same with the large-fitting jeans I have. I have definitely "liked" and subscribed to your CZcams channel. Looking forward to more videos from you. Thank you and greetings from San Francisco, California!! :)
