Workable to alter a 44L to a 44R mens jacket. Would the pockets not
come too low on the coat ? I see many 44L Jackets for sale, but do not
know if the 44L can be altered to a 44R without the pockets problem ?
My man would be happy if this were workable. Taking 1 - 2 inches off
the bottom of a suit jacket is not that much of a problem, but the
balance of the jacket and the pockets....
well, over to you (thanks)
