I have a suit from the days before I paid enough attention to fit, and it's too wide in the shoulders. There's a seam down the center of the back of the jacket, and I was wondering if it it's possible to undo the seam, bring the two sides of the jacket closer together, and redo the seam, to narrow the jacket. I know it would bring the side pockets farther back, but I'm thinking if it's less than an inch per side it wouldn't really be noticeable, and it would make the shoulders fit much better. Am I crazy?
