A bit of a noob question, but I bought a jacket that is too large in the waist and "pit-to-pit" measurements. My question is about taking in the jacket at the side seams. Does that alteration actually reduce the "pit-to-pit" chest measurement, or just tapers the waist keep the old pit-to-pit point the same? Generally, it seems easy to narrow the waist, but can you really narrow the chest?
As a sidenote, shoulders are fine. It's just the sides down from the armholes to the bottom the are too large.
