How can we help?

We are very excited to launch our new online alterations service for selected bottoms. Please read the information below before placing your order. Please note, altered items cannot be returned or exchanged.

How will the alteration work: 

After obtaining your correct measurement and desired stitch type, follow the below steps to select an online alteration. (If the Alteration box does not appear, alterations will not be available for that product).

Steps: 

1. Select the Product colour, waist size & length of the item you want to alter.

2. Now select Stitch type from the drop down box (see below for more details).

3. Select your desired alteration length from the drop down. This will be the length you want your pants cut to (see below for more details).

We will shorten your product to the length you have selected. Please allow additional 2 business days for your alteration to be completed and your order to be prepared for dispatch. 

**Note - this service does not include tapering.

Which Stitch do I choose?

The stitch types available will be shown on the product page, if you can’t find a certain stitch in the drop down, it means that it is not available for that product.

Visible (Lock) Stitch: 

A standard method that uses single stitching on both the interior and exterior. Depending on the length hemmed, traces of removed stitching may remain. In addition, distressed items will lose the distress on the part that is hemmed.

Hidden (Blind) Stitch:

A blind stitch is nearly invisible stitching for a neat look. We recommend this stitch with dressy pants like the Smart Ankle Pants for a clean look.  Blind stitch can not be used on Jeans or thick materials, If this stitch is not available on the product page, a Blind stitch is not available.

How to measure bottom alterations:

Before you select your alteration, be sure to know your exact measurements, as we are unable to accept returns or exchanges for altered products.
 

Step 1: 

To select your alterations, begin by measuring a pair of  bottoms that you own to get an idea of the inseam length you’d like to select for alterations. 

Step 2: 

Please measure from the centre of your inseam (crotch) to the length you want the pants altered to. For example, if you select 31 inches from the dropdown menu, the inseam to the hem measurement will be cut off at 31 inches long.

Step 3:
After you note these measurements, please select your colour, waist size and length, and choose the type of  stitch type and length of the alteration you want for your bottoms. Alterations are available for selected items. If alterations are available for your item, the “ALTERATIONS'' option will appear underneath the size selection tool. 

Please play the video below to learn more about how to measure your inseam length:

Proceed through checkout and order the bottoms as you would any UNIQLO product. Once your order has been completed, you will receive a confirmation email with order details.  

Orders with bottom alterations will take an additional 2 business days from the estimated delivery time frame.
