    Well done!

    If you wanted to tweak it a bit more, you could remove the pocket flaps and then reattach them a bit higher. They would theoretically still cover the pockets and raising them will make the proportions of the jacket look less cropped. I think I remember reading about that in one of the F-H.C.A.G.'s jacket conversion threads...

    But don't raise them very much, 'cause the welts will show from underneath. And nobody likes to have their welts show from underneath.

    When given a choice, most people will choose.
