Waists on jodphurs

[Jmn15]

Anyone ever bought a pair of fitting jods with a dodgy waistline? I un knowingly today did this, so disappointed! I can't return them as they were bought from a show. Is there anywere I can take them too to have the waist unstitched and elastic fitted in? There really nice and fit great otherwise!

A local garment alteration shop should be able to do it for you, I think some dry cleaning chains do garment alterations or might be able to point you in the direction of someone who does.

Sympathies.... I'm a pear-shape so I have to buy jods to fit my hips. They're always baggy around the waist so I have to make sure that I buy ones with belt loops......

Thank you! I've found somewhere locally who offer this service so will give them a ring tomorrow and see what they say

The ones I was bought today I already have so assumed that as the size I have now fits well it made sense to buy the same. As it was a show stand there was no were I could of tried them on. The legs fit me perfectly! There is just no elasticity within the waist to pull them together to clip. Hopefully I can resolve this
