MTD speaks the truth....his Mrs. is a wonderful seamstress. When you buy a pair, have them shipped directly to his house. Send him your measurements and your Visa number and she'll fix ya right up.

I have always had good luck with Honigs and I let them alter them before shipping. Again, I have never had a problem with the quality or hemming.

I've used this site and they actually called me with questions to make sure everything was correct. Excellent customer service!

ok "DDN" i will chk out this site, and refer other companion refs to it; we all struggle with looking tidy in our pants. I've seen some guys wear the elastic bands to keep shir tail tucked in--heck I know of a few guys who tell me that their shirts are also altered to fit "slimmer/tighter". I'm frequently adjusting my re-tucking my shirt tail in and pulling the cuffs off up on my shoes--heheh. I shall chk that web for info...

My wife appreciates your praise but only Torch gets a cut of my profits, .

Buy them un-hemmed and take them to a tailor and bring your court shoes with you. That way you get a well fitting pair of pants that drape properly over your shoe resulting in a crisp, sharp look.
It's not that expensive, plus it's tax deductible.

Other than sock stirrups, this is the best thing I've found so far to keep your shirt tucked in:

Undergarment Sport Belt, Umpire, Referee, Sports Uniform Shirt Stays Alternative
