  If only this was large! Do you remember what the chest measurements were prior to tailoring?
  
  Thanks,

  I know where you keep your gun!

  I think it was around 22-22.25", but not 100% on that.

  Hi - what chest size are you as measured?

  I've decided to sell my LVC jacket since it gets hardly any wear. It's a tagged size Medium, but I've had it tailored in the chest, waist and tapered the arms more. I found that it fit much better. It still has that slightly oversized looked, but its more fitted.
  There are needle marks on the one part of the right arm from tailoring, but they aren't as noticeable when worn (see pic). I was going to dab dye on them at some point to cover them up but never got around to it.
  The extra buttons on the cuff are missing as when it came from Mr Porter, the box was damaged and both buttons were cracked. The extra buttons are still attached to the tag inside the jacket.

  Can it be let back out? Did they leave the material that was taken?

  I'm not 100% sure if they left it but, you would have stitch holes everywhere if it was taken out.

  Any chance of you posting some pics of this jacket being worn? Obviously an interested party would be curious to see the result of the alteration and how it will sit on the body. Some details of your personal measurements/stats would also be helpful for potential buyers to gauge whether the alterations done would be appropriate for their own body shapes. Thanks.

  Wow yeah, fantastic deal! Definitely would’ve grabbed it if it didn’t have that little bit of tailoring done.
