Waxed Canvas Jacket Tailoring

Would it be feasible to get a XL sized waxed canvas jacket tailored down to around a medium? I know its a big alteration but it has a lot of sentimental value. Would it be likely to ruin the proportions?

It will almost certainly ruin the proportions and be very expensive (working on the shoulders is very spendy). I also don't know how many run of the mill tailors will have sewing machines able to handle waxed canvas.

imo keeping sentimental clothing without wearing it isn't a bad thing the suit i wore for my wedding is now too small for me to wear but i liken it to a retired jersey, an enduring memory of that day and moment in my life
