A Tailoring Experiment: Pleated Trousers

Posted on August 5, 2016 by Ethan M. Wong

Now that we can agree that pleats are cool, it’s time to try them out. I noted in my previous article that it is difficult to obtain pleated pants with the necessary details (high rise, slim-straight). So when I was presented with an opportunity to try and tailor down some 1980’s baggy, double pleated pants, I took it.

However, there are a few things that I’ve learned since my freshman year that would’ve saved me so much time in being who I am.
