Can pants be tailored in this way?

I have jeans that fit great but are far more baggy than I'd like below the knees. Can the lower leg portion of pants be made more slim-fitting? Also, if anyone has recommendations for affordable but quality tailors in San Francisco who could do this, I'd appreciate it.
Seconding SelfEdge. can't recommend them enough... if they can't do it, they'll recommend someone that can.

I've done this with a few pairs of jeans ($25) - and have always gone to C&W Tailoring in the Outer Sunset:

Victoria at Creative Tailor in the Tenderloin/Nob Hill can do this for you easily. She is great.
(Huh. I see from the Yelp listing that it's now called Victoria's Clothing ReDesign. Same thing though, on Sutter.)

As for a SF tailor, I can't help. You might consider contacting the folks at SelfEdge for a denim-specific recommendation, although they will likely advise a more expensive shop.
