Sewing tip here- generally, you should take in the leg on the outside seam. The reason is- the inside seam is cut with a specific shape/width so that the pants don't pull or gape too much with your legs together or apart. If you change it, you're increasing the space between the legs which will make the pants/shorts pull when your legs are together. You can see this on the final picture of the shorts, how it's pulling on his legs, eventhough he doesn't have his legs together. They'll likely bunch a ton when he sits in them. (Also, this is a super easy thing to do, you can just fold over the seam and sew by hand. I'd recommend sewing the classic in-out stitch to doublecheck your fit- it's easy to rip; then either go over it or resew with a backstitch. With handsewing on pants or shorts, you'll want a strong stitch so you don't endup ripping the seam when wearing or in the wash- like I did.)
I just got a sewing machine because i was tired of paying $15 a pop for easy hems. I think this is one of the most useful skills a man can have. If you can be your own tailor for some of these easier jobs, why wouldn’t you?
I never knew what’s the best method, taking in from the out seam or the in? Definitely looks easier from the inseam, I’ll be using this method very soon. Thank you 😊
Im here because i got some ill fitted pj shorts. (Alas the size chart wasnt accurate and my mesurements were on the edge so i sized up). Mens fashion chanels are always super helpful!
That sewing machine is fancy! LoL been meaning to change my 15 y/o sewing machine that I bought for $45 bucks. It does most of the task I wanted to do with it, but it is temperamental.
Thanks for a great video, I always love watching others do the hobbies I love. I had just done a pair of shorts this week and it was a funny golf pattern print, which added the difficulty of the matching thread at the hem. When finishing the hem it would either match one or the other color so I could go a big contrast to both, which I did as a test and it looked meh. Then I ripped out those threads, redid the hem length and did a blind hem with transparent thread. Preserved the pattern beautifully while adding that slight bit of flexibility since I don't own a cover stitch machine.
Put the shorts on and pinch and pin the waist until it is comfortable. Measure what you pinched. Turn them inside out and measure and pin that amount on the rear seam. Taper it down the rear end gradually so it doesn't pucker. Baste or pin the entire thing and try on again. Sew when satisfied. Lots of videos on altering waists.
@@RealMenRealStyle Thank you Antonio!! I have been following your videos this entire year. Had 4 weddings to go to and with all your information I was always looking sharp dressed man. You are a life saver.
Great video for those who are frugal among us. Another quick solution: Go to a tailor and pay them around $25 and use that time to spend with your family and friends.
I did this but it left the to part of the shorts look weird and bulky in the mid section. It looks really big there while the legs look slim so it looks weird. Seems the body of the shorts also needs slimming. How do I do that? Thank you
Remember like 3 years ago when I talked to you on the phone about Snapchat and it was 5.00 a share so you said it was a bad move? I yolo’d it that day and put 50,000 in. I’m pumped your channel is still growing! I wish we could of worked together in some capacity!
I wear Vintage 505 shorts (From the 90s) They are above the knee and I fill the thigh out due to exercising my legs quite often. However I wear boots with my shorts. I love the look but I'm open to any opinions to this. Any suggestions?
Yessssss this, and… Fellas, please get yourself some decent 5.75 - 7 Ralph Lauren bathing suits or a decent brand with a similar length. Stop wearing these board shorts past your knees, it’s embarrassing.
It’s it fashionable for a guy to wear pink shorts and a Hawaii shirts the shirt is black with yellow pineapples light blue flowers and pink flowers all these have green leaves
@@AJ-vu6ez What!? Right! Because having a preference for a style that will probably come back at some point in later years is totally the equivalent of missing illiteracy.
Man i need to do this so bad i need all the items and own none of them and have a vacation in a week and cant afford buying a sewing machine etc or the 35$ the local store wants per short 🤣 all my money is for this golf trip or savings
wearing shorts near or below my knee makes me look like I am carrying a load....they look outright stupid on short people but look great on taller people. Men, if you have nice legs ( like cycling legs or even rugby legs) show them off! My wife loves when I show off my cycling legs!
I got chicken legs? Who are you Daisy Duke? That is not the problem. From department store to department store shorts are too short. I came across this video trying to find out how to take in the waist on a pair of shorts. Tall skinny guy I’m forced to buy big boy shorts so I can get my desired length. I can’t speak for the next guy, but I like the prospect of success when approaching the ladies.
The only thing that makes you legs lokk like chicken legs is...having chicken legs 😄 Im glad im not most men My shorts are about 2-4 inches below my knees (Going to be making my 1st pair of pants into shorts soon)
Great video but, let’s be honest, Men ain’t Doing all this bro! - “ all you need is 37 items- then 39 different steps - to make your shorts smaller” come on 😂

Hey Antonio be sure to block that scammer in your comments!
Sewing tip here- generally, you should take in the leg on the outside seam.

hey i was wondering if you could tell me like how to take them in at the out seam please im so confused
I’m guessing it gives you a lot of extra crotch fabric too because he’s spreading the pockets
I agree. I've tried the inside seam with shorts. It turned out awful. It makes the shorts bow inward and looks weird. Same with pants.
wish I knew this before hand, my shorts ended up terrible looking, super baggy in the front
I definitely need a more modern sewing machine. these newer models make sewing look easy. Thanks again Thomas for another great tutorial.
Agreed - modern sewing machines are better. Here's the sewing machine Thomas used: www.realmenrealstyle.com/842-amz-brother-sewing-machine
I can’t find a video showing how to do this!!! Help please!!!

Thomas may sound serious at first but I instantly found he to be a fun guy and am liking his videos a lot. Nice video btw, team!
PS: Jeez, it's been an year I'm a member already?
Thanks Isaque. Thomas is a fun guy! Watch out for his next videos.
Awesomeeeee!
You lost me at "Sewing Machine" 😂

Great video! I’m gonna try
Great video. What about slim fit cargo shorts ?

Antonio is ( the Blake Shelton) of the youtubers : Masculine, professional, and great
Could you make a video on how to fix the width around the waistline? Is it possible to do? Or should I just buy new ones.
Too complicated, just get a new one.
Put the shorts on and pinch and pin the waist until it is comfortable. Measure what you pinched. Turn them inside out and measure and pin that amount on the rear seam. Taper it down the rear end gradually so it doesn't pucker. Baste or pin the entire thing and try on again. Sew when satisfied. Lots of videos on altering waists.
What is defined as the knee here? Top of your kneecap or middle?
Great video !!!keep it up..
@@user-ob9is1qi4u Not legit Real Men Real Style comment, gents!

@@aaroncorral1327 This is amazing Aaron. Thanks for sharing this.

Learning a skill to help yourself is manly. Doesn’t matter what “tradition” is.
This turned out really well!
Agreed - thanks Jordan!
this is 5 star helpful
You are Mr. perfect...
Yooo that chicken leg part 🤣😆

Great voice.
Thanks! Thomas did a great job.
Coolness, yup the only one who can do it right (unless it's quantum physics rocket science) is ourselves.
God bless.
excellent content
wow. from Bangladesh. I'm ashraful
could you do one to take in the waist of some shorts please?
I wear Vintage 505 shorts (From the 90s)
They are above the knee and I fill the thigh out due to exercising my legs quite often. However I wear boots with my shorts. I love the look but I'm open to any opinions to this. Any suggestions?

a “potato sack” took me out 😂😂😂😂😂
Thomas on Sundays Cool
shorts looked a little too tight
It’s it fashionable for a guy to wear pink shorts and a Hawaii shirts the shirt is black with yellow pineapples light blue flowers and pink flowers all these have green leaves
The shirt has too many colors so i recommend you to go for white or black shorts or choose a colour the shirt has for shorts !
@@panagiotispina thank you for your honest opinion?
Link for the sewing machine?
Hey Jose - Here you go: www.realmenrealstyle.com/842-amz-brother-sewing-machine
Can you taper a men's bathing suit? I find that they tend to be too baggy on me as a slimmer person.
I honestly really miss when guys used to wear the baggier shorts.
i miss people who can't spell.
@@AJ-vu6ez What!?
Right! Because having a preference for a style that will probably come back at some point in later years is totally the equivalent of missing illiteracy.
This is a compliment, and unexpected, but you sound like you're gonna start telling me about creepy internet mysteries.
Man i need to do this so bad i need all the items and own none of them and have a vacation in a week and cant afford buying a sewing machine etc or the 35$ the local store wants per short 🤣 all my money is for this golf trip or savings
What sawing machine is that?
It's a jeans or trousers shorts?

I take mine to my tailor as she is a professional and I do not want to ruin my amateur status or my clothes.
🇬🇧 🇬🇧
Looks good but I’m scared to try it and ruin my son’s uniform shorts!
Secondhand shop $2.00 pair to practice on
I need to buy a sewing machine
Nah bro I have school in 2 hours guess I'm wearing big shorts
Please one video about Pakistani dress
When did men’s shorts get so, short? This is crazy.
Just for the second I thought That I'm a tailor ...well - I am not.
Above the knee? Who wants to see my boney knee caps. Kilts are worn below. Why not shorts?
Yeah i dont get these short shorts.
Maybe pumps legs)

Lots nice unfortunately lots of men are probably gonna think this looks feminine.
I been told I have great legs however I don't like shorts pants or short sleeves shirts.
@@freshpressedifywell to begin all the women that seen me without long pants.

Filunny what you call "baggy" shorts :D
Something doesn't look right..
too tight
This video should be captioned, reasons to pay for a tailor
Didn’t improve those shorts at all, in my opinion...
Wow. I finally get to disagree with you guys.
Basically, how to make your shorts look more gay
If it doesn't cover the knees they are to short.
True. 1980s style shorts are out of date and college kids with long shorts will poke fun at you.
Or take them to a tailor.
NOOOoo lol. leave them baggy. NOTHING worse than tight shorts. one lookes like a creepy dude.
Young people prefer long shorts and always make fun of “dads” who have too short shorts, AKA 1980s style, make u look old, cheugy.
