Sound like a viable strategy?
This is the exact same thing I had just done with my new SWK Black Watch Economy.
I am a measured size 48 and ordered a size 44 (the original size 48 fell to the floor it was so big).
I put the new 44 on, second hole on the straps, and then my wife walked around pinning the fell, and poking me more than once I'm sorry to say.
So after she pinned it, I took it off basted it and then proceeded to sew the fell and it now fits like a glove, what with it being 2 sizes smaller than I should be wearing.
