Is it true that you can't taper chinos? I had two separate tailors give me issue over this request
The only reason I could think, is how they are stitched on the inseam (if the stitching is exposed). Rail Car does tapering, and they have a specific mention that they always taper from the inseam (so to not F up the selvedge outseam on denim) and that they replace the entire inseam stitching and do not just mix it with the new taper stitching.

One of the things that separates our service from the rest is the inseam stitch. We replace the inseam stitch with one continuous stitch so that there's no broken or "tacked" inseam stitch like the other guys. The inseam is clean and flawless.
