so some people have mentioned moding some regulat fit pants by splitting the seem and re-sewing. seems like a good idea, but how is waterproofing affected? is there anywhere that I can purchase a seem seal tape? no, im not down with duct taping them. ill do it cause i like making stuff, but only if i can end up with a product that is at least as good as the original.
also, if that doesn't work out, im looking for some sizing help on holden. i have like a 31-32 waist and 32-34 length fit for regular pants; what size would be best? i know i should try them on first, but it's hard to get time/im lazy.
Thanks a lot.
 
lol dude i read this in school today, and shitt nobody has posted? okay ill post, i was going to earlier but i was in english and didnt have time.

so basically im in the exact same situation as you, im 6'3 and 155 pounds. a rake. and you prolly in the same boat as me by saying that we are too tall for thugga steez, thus weve decided to go tight.

there are basically 2 different methods to take your pants in, you can split the seams and tailor form there. OR you can just take in the pants in their entireity, then once you have pinned and stitched, cut the excess pantleg out. no matter what method you use, your still left with the waterproofing being fucked along the seam. and honestly, running a strip of duct tape up the interior of your pant leg will get the job done, and nobody will see it, because it will be on the indise of your pants. it isnt the best method, but unless your actually going to take a bath in them, they will get the job done. you may have to replace it one or twice over the season. but really, lookin steezy is worth a 3 dollar roll of mexican solder.

if you need in depth Q & A just pm me bro.
 
ive worn sewn in pants for like 3 years now with no waterproofing problems... i put tent sealant stuff on the seam... i dont know if this actually helped but ive never gotten wet, so dont worry to much about it
 
i would go holden womans size med or mens size small

if you go with the womans med, u may not even have to sew them in, as the womens come a little tighter than the mens

personally, im 5 foot 4 130 and i have 4 pairs of holden womans size med, and ive sewed in 3 out of the 4

if only the sample sale i bought them from had womens size small then i prolly wouldnt have to sew them in as much
 
thanks for the replies. I think I will probably sew in a pair of regular pants. i like the tent sealer idea; i will look into it. just so i have all the information though, how would the length on the men's small and women's medium holdens be?
 
im sure you could have a tailor do it for like 20 bucks, either way just make sure to remember to leave enough room for your boots.
