• How do I add alterations?

  1. Select the product colour and size.
  2. Select Stitch type from the drop down box.
  3. Select your desired alteration inseam length. This will be the length you want your pants cut to.

  

• How do I measure the length?

  Before you select your alteration, be sure to know your exact measurements, as we are unable to accept returns or exchanges for altered products. 

  

  STEP 1:

  To find the right measurement, begin by measuring a pair of pants that you already have to get an idea of the inseam length you’d like to select for alterations.

  

  STEP 2:

  Please measure from the center of your inseam (crotch) to the length you want the pants altered to. For example, if you select 70cm from the dropdown menu, the inseam to the hem measurement will be cut off at 70cm long.
   

  

  STEP 3:

  After you note these measurements, please select your colour, waist size and length, and choose the type of  stitch type and length of the alteration you want for your bottoms.

• Can I return or exchange my pants that have been altered? 

  As per our Change of Mind Policy, altered apparel cannot be accepted for returns or exchanges as they are no longer in their original condition. 

• How do I measure the alteration length?

  IN-STORE: Please see our store team to see which pants can be altered and they can assist with measuring the length for you.
  ONLINE: Please see above in the Online Alteration section or click here to find more details.

• Do you offer pants tapering?

  No, our alterations service only includes shortening the length of selected pants and does not include tapering.

• Can I take my old UNIQLO pants in for an alteration in-store?

  Unused pants can be taken in for an alteration in-store, however proof of purchase needs to be provided.
  
  If you do not have a proof of purchase, it will be up to the discretion of the alterations manager and a $6 fee may just be applied. Please ensure that the pants have been washed prior to bringing them into the store. This also includes pants purchased online.

• Can I take my UNIQLO pants purchased overseas in for an alteration?

  Our store teams would be more than happy to take a look at the pants to see if they can be altered. Please note that if pants are from a different country, they may be different to our current offering in Australia so the thread may not be a perfect colour match or fabric variations may not be suitable for alteration. Find your local UNIQLO store here and they will be able to take a look and determine this for you. 
  
  Also ensure that you present your proof of purchase such as a bank statement or receipt and that the pants are in the original condition or have been washed prior to bringing them into the store.

• Can I still alter pants, if I don’t have the receipt?

  This will have to be up to the discretion of the alterations manager in store. If your pants are in a fine condition to be altered but you don't have your receipt, you may just have to pay a $6 alterations fee as the price you paid for the pants cannot be verified. 

• How long do your alterations take?

  IN-STORE: Alterations can take 1 day for those requiring a blind stitch, and lock stitch can be done on the same day depending on how busy the store is. You will always be given a pick up time on your alterations slip.

• Can I bring my pants in twice to get altered?

  You are more than welcome to bring your pants purchased in-store or online into a store for further alteration if they have already been altered previously.
  
  However, proof of purchase will need to be presented again. We are unable to guarantee if a fee will be required for the alterations again and this will be up to the discretion of the alterations manager.
