Replying to Tailoring old ski gear

I'm wondering if anyone has had success with taking their outerwear to a professional tailor to be refitted? I have an old '08-09' anomie jacket which I love (lightweight, shell, waterproof). It would be ideal for stashing in the BC pack. However, it's a large, or XXL in any other brand. It would be perfect to take out 50% of the sleeve material and some off the torso as well. The vents might make it tricky, but shouldn't a professional be able to do this pretty easily? $50 sure beats $150 for a new one.
