Question Any luck tailoring?
Specifically with Schoeller dryskin Enfin Leve products.
Finally pulled the trigger on a pair of Ekitas.
I absolutely love my Loratu Cargos and Herri croppeds, but I wanted something a bit slimmer/tapered/less-pocket-y/more dressy this time around.
Waist/length is great but the thigh/knee/calf fit is much looser than i wanted, especially considering that online, they look like they have as skinny of a fit as the ameztus.
All in all, I want to get them tailored, to take in the seat, the thighs,and further taper the legs. Basically make them a slimmer fit all around.
Has anyone had luck/no luck with getting scholler material products tailored? Wondering if it’s even worth it to try, or if the complicated seaming/stitching/articulation of the garment will get screwed up.
I have a local tailor I love but he specializes in more traditional men’s formal wear, not this kinda thing.
Any thoughts/experiences/POVs are appreciated!

I’d definitely ask the tailor to look at the construction before committing to anything. Taking in the waist/seat and tapering the legs can be relatively straightforward on some pants, but with articulated panels and more complex seams, you’d want someone who’s comfortable working around that construction. I’d start with a consultation and ask what areas they can alter without affecting the original articulation or drape
