Mans waistcoat.

The pattern I have is for Xlg, Xxl and xxxl.
The body it needs to fit is Large size, ie, 3" less around the chest.

I'm 99% certain all I need to do is chop 3/4" off each side seam.

Can you confirm this for me please, before I start - soonish? Please?

Should be fine but check if he needs a bit more room at the front for a tummy and bear in mind that the armscye will be reduced in line with this.

If all the sizes are on one sheet, I would draw the next lines in the sequence at the sides and the neck edge. Sometimes the neckline changes as well as the side.
