Lockstitch Hemming Service
Description
We offer hemming services as an add-on to most pants/trousers on our website.
If you are interested in hemming pants purchased elsewhere, or have a pair you bought from us and have owned for a while, bring them by any of our three physical locations, or send us an email to inquire about our options.
All lockstitch hems are done in-house on Juki DDL-8700 sewing machines.
***UPDATE 9/7/26: Due to an unusually high volume of requests, our current turnaround time is approximately 7-10 business days (Monday-Friday, excluding holidays), on top of our regular shipment processing time.
If you need your hemmed pants more quickly, please select express shipping at checkout for a turnaround of 1-2 business days before shipping.
All hemmed pants/trousers are non-returnable.
Lockstitch hemming for items purchased outside of S&S is subject to additional charges.
The Machine.
Our lockstitch hemming service uses Juki DDL-8700 sewing machines for a clean and consistent finish every time. Juki's line of sewing machines are industry-standard for commercial garment manufacturing, known for their quality and reliability — being only used for alterations and regularly maintained, our machines are kept in top condition all the time.
Our In-House Tailor.
Our hemming services are conducted in-house by trained members of the S&S team. We're happy to help measure you for a hem in-store at any of our locations, but the actual hemming is only done in Berkeley and NYC currently. We do accept hems via mail, but this needs to be arranged with us first.
