Is a fused jacket alterable?

Hi Guys,

I'm going to resume here with an ackneyed issue, with a diiferent perspective though, the fused versus half-or-full canvassed jacket, that is.

If a lovely jacket made of a wonderful cloth happens to be a fused one, is there any chance to get it alterated?

I would greatly appreciate your take on. Thanks.

The alteration would aim at replacing the fused construction with a foating canvassed one.

Indeed! Thank you very much for drawing my attention to the very instructive piece you mentionned above! My jacket is said to have been constructed with "a floating chest piece". So I think I will just keep it this way and then see what happens in the long run.
