Front is quite good but the upper back has some problems. Looks like your shoulders are too square (am I using the correct term?) to the jacket.

Not great, not terrible. Back looks bad

Also, why did you get flat pockets? Patch pockets or bust if you are in the position to customize, IMO

front looks better than the back, but still

Return it; you can get a refund if you're not happy with the results.

What's the consensus on sizing?

Do I need to get a smaller coat? Mine is a 39r. Or are these "simple" alterations?

Patch Pockets are a sign of the BEAST !
