Altered Length School Trousers Now Available

Finding school trousers with the right waist and leg length can be difficult, especially when your child needs a more generous fit around the waist but a shorter leg. That is why we now offer altered leg lengths on selected boys plus size school trousers.

Why Altered Lengths Can Make Such a Difference

Many parents find that standard school trousers do not always fit children evenly. A child may need extra room around the waist, hips or seat, but the leg length can then be too long. This can leave trousers looking untidy, dragging near the shoes, or needing extra hemming after purchase.

Our altered length option is designed to help solve this common fit problem. On selected styles, you can choose to have the trousers shortened before they are sent out, helping create a neater and more comfortable school uniform fit.

Available Alteration Options

  • Shorten by 1 inch
  • Shorten by 2 inches
  • Shorten by 3 inches
  • Shorten by 4 inches
  • Shorten by 5 inches
Please note: Leg length alteration orders usually take around 5 days for most of the year. During busy back-to-school periods, this can take around 7 to 14 days. Altered trousers are non-returnable unless faulty, so please check the size guide carefully before selecting this option.

Who Are Altered Length Trousers Best For?

Altered length school trousers are a helpful option for children who need a roomier waist but often find regular trouser lengths too long. They are also useful for parents who want a cleaner school-ready finish without arranging separate alterations elsewhere.

This is especially helpful for plus size and sturdy fit school trousers, where the waist size may be correct but the leg length may need adjusting for a neater appearance.

How to Choose the Right Alteration

We recommend checking the size guide first and choosing the trouser size based mainly on the waist and comfort fit. Once the waist size is correct, look at the inside leg measurement and decide how much shorter you need the trousers to be.

If you are unsure, it is usually best to measure a pair of trousers your child already wears comfortably and compare the inside leg length before selecting an alteration.
