I know theres been loads of threads about this but none of them ever seem to come up with an answer, i need to get a few pairs of jeans tailored becuase theyve stretched and are too big now, ive tryed soaking and washing etc but they always stretch out again.
Has anyone used any specific launderettes/tailors in london to alter jeans for a good price?
