The Railcar Upsizing Service can be performed if you're looking for a couple more inches in the waist. This service will add gussets on the sides of your hips to add wanted size back in the waist. The service will also add fabric to the waistband for that additional sizing. This service is great to add on if you've outgrown your favorite pair of jeans or to make vintage pants fit your body.
The upsizing gussets will start about 6 inches below the waistband and gradually open up to desired upsize. New fabric will also be added to the waistband to accommodate the upsizing. We have a huge selection of fabric to choose from to do this service and will choose the best fabric to use based on weight and anticipated aging color. Understand that there will be a contrast of color. If you have scrap of the denim from a previous chain stitch hem service, we can try to use that.
Please Note: The original top fly button and possible rivets will be replaced with a Railcar button, as the original cannot be reused. Additionally, if your jeans have any waistband fades or wears, they will be shifted slightly for the additional waistband length. See pictures for example. All work is final. If you have any questions, please contact us.
