After...after?

Hi! everyone.Could you please help me correct this?
A boy wants to get his torn jeans pant repaired from a tailor.
Tailor says-; ok! I will do it and you can get your repaired pant back at 11:00am tomorrow.
Boy:No take your time,I am not in a hurry ,you can return this a long time after 11:00am(Is the colored phrase correct or I should say ;You can return this after a long time after 11:00am.)
And If I change the "a long time" into "quite a while" like in the below sentence.
You can return this pant after quite a while after 11:00am.
Or
You can return this pant quite a while after 11:00am.(which one is correct?)
I am confused about it,please help me.
Should I use "after" two times at the end of the sentence or not?
Thanks!

Hi! Alphecca.Thanks for answering.
Can I say? You can return them later than 11:00am.

silak12Can I say? You can return them later than 11:00am.
Yes, that's OK.

But you should give some idea of your time limit. For instance:
I'd like them back within two days.
