Shortening breeches

[eahotson]

Is it possible? Anyone had it done?

It is possible and relatively straightforward - you will just need to make sure that the person doing it uses a 'stretch' stitch otherwise the shortened seam wont stretch and the stitching will snap. This isn't difficult though and any decent alterations place should be able to do it for you.

Personally I take a pair of kitchen scissors and slice off the excess! The bottoms are inside my boots so no one sees!

I do that when i buy jods for yard normally the bargain pairs etc and just chop them off.
You can just chop off breeches though can you as the velcro will go as well.

I use Shires saddlehuggers breeches for day to day use. They come very long and I don't like jod cuffs, so convert them to shorter breeches with a pair of scissors. Jod done!
