I have a jacket that is a bit too small for me in the arms. When I try to cross my arms or stretch them out, I can feel the jacket almost ripping. How would a tailor remedy this?

if there is extra fabric in the back, it can be let out. if there isn't, then it can't be fixed.

You could try having the arm holes let out slightly, but I had the same problem and this hardly helped me.
