just because it's doable does not mean it is easily done.
an unaltered jacket will always look better than one that has undergone major surgery, and to alter a shoulder is major surgery. Chances are after such an alteration your jacket will never look right. Only super competent tailors can do such things, and again not many of them around.
When buying an OTR jacket, make sure shoulder fits correctly, and that the length is the one you want. The waist can be tapered easily, and the sleeve length can also be taken short relatively easily.
I'm having a new jacket altered significantly.
I've had jackets slim down two whole sizes .
What happened with the breast pocket placement?
