has anybody tried this and is it a good idea? i want to take my xxl bold charcoal into a tailor and have them tighten the ribbing on the bottom so that it fits tighter, more like the 09/10 line. i will obviously have it professionally done, so there is not a chance that i ruin it by doing it myself.
if i do, i will post before and after pics
has anybody done this and is it a good idea, or will it just ruin my jiberish?

Ok, tailors/seamstress do this kinda stuff for a living so obviously they will be able to do it. Just call them before hand to see if they are willing to do it.

I haven't tightened the ribbing on jiberish but I have done it to a custom hoodie. It is pretty simple, I would just measure the ribbing, then find how big you want it and measure that. So you can give the tailor specific measurements. good luck.

Just sack up and go do it. Tell them how tight you want it and they will do it.

THey can do almost anything. They are moving a pocket on my ski pants because i don't like its location I mean just go down their.

Or you could put a shoe lace in the ribbing so you could tighten/loosen it

It was a kind elder lady down the street. Nothing commercial, but the results were professional. I think it was 5-10$ for me !

Just did it with some of my stuff from the 10/11 line, well worth the money. To do the ribbing on one piece it cost $10.
