FAQ
How long does hemming take at Tailorise?
Most trousers and jeans hems are completed in 3 working days. If you need it faster, our express 2-hour service (20% surcharge) gets most hems done while you wait or shop nearby.
What's a blind hem?
A Blind Hem (Invisible) is stitched by hand so no stitching is visible from the outside of the garment — the standard finish for formal trousers, suits, and tailored pieces.
Can I keep the original hem on my jeans?
Yes — our Original Hem service re-attaches your jeans' factory hem and stitching after shortening, so they keep their original faded look rather than a plain new hem.
Do I need an appointment for hemming?
No — hemming is walk-in only. Just bring the item in and try it on with our tailor.
