| When you buy a pair of jeans and the inside leg is too long, and you want to shorten it (by folding it in an sewing it mainly), how do you naturally ask a tailor to do that for you? Is there a fixed phrase for that, or can I just ask the tailor to shorten the legs for me? |

If it's the inside leg, then in tailor terms it's the inseam you want shortened.
(non-American answer, eh.) |

Yeah, Pivot, that's the word I know (inseam), but I quickly found out that's not how Americans refer to it :p
Cheers, that's what I wanted, Hal and IGK :)
