Alterations for In-Store Purchases




General 

Alteration services are available for select UNIQLO jeans and pants. We can shorten the pants length only. Once the pants are altered, they cannot be lengthened further and cannot be altered back to their original length. Some stitch options will not be available depending on pants type..

Please Note: Alterations are only available for UNIQLO items; We cannot alter items from GU and Theory. Thank you for your understanding.
 
 Types of Alterations Stitches

Cut-off Stitch
  • A hem created by cutting the pants to the selected inseam without folding. This provides unique fraying that may continue to fray after washing and wearing. Please trim the frayed threads to your liking.
Visible (Lock) Stitch
  • A standard method that uses single stitching on both the interior and exterior sides of the pants. Depending on the length hemmed, traces of removed stitching may remain. In addition, distressed items will lose the distressing effect on the stitched sections.
Hidden (Blind) Stitch
  • Nearly invisible stitching for a neat look. The hem is folded once and finished with a stitch that is almost invisible on the outer side of the pants. Recommended for formal and business wear.
Chain Stitch 
  • A classic and traditional stitch commonly used to hem denim and jeans. Made with a chain-style stitch on the inner side and a straight stitch on the outer side of the pants with a double folded hem.
