I had thought of that, but I think it could be solved by having the waistcoat (vest) made with breast pockets, too.
The fact is that I have two let's say identical suit jackets (long story, but related to a failed online MTM comission, where they so messed up the original specifications that they sent me another one... and failed to do it right, nonetheless, although the second one is wearable after some alteration). So I am considering turning the first jacket into a waiscoat, and have a 3-p suit.
Would that be feasible?

I've never heard of it being done. I would think that the jacket's breast pocket would be an obstacle in converting it to a vest.
