The tailors at Parc West Valet Dry Cleaning in NYC (57th just east of 9th) have been altering my jeans for longer than I should share. They have never screwed up an original hem, have patched my jeans that I refuse to give up (some multiple times) and have done more complicated alterations like taking in a waistband.

They’ll also tell you if they can’t match something or think the alteration will not lay right, etc.

This is so informative and delightful! Anyone have a recommendation in Boston?

Kelly is truly one of a kind in Tucson. I have never had such a great experience with a tailor to vintage denim. If you’re contemplating making an appointment, pull the trigger. I would not have the denim I have now if it wasn’t for her. She takes her time to fit jeans to your body and match pieces to you that you will have for a lifetime. Meeting her was one of the best things to happen to me!

Would you say adding darts to take in the waist/butt 'cheapens' the style? I had Nordstrom West Village alter R13 Jane jeans. They did center darts and slightly taken in from the side. I'm afraid they ruined the look of them.
