Its hard to do anything about the shoulder width and it would probably be better for you if you got a narrower width. On the other hand, if you can deal with looking at guernica everyday you walk into your front room then you shouldnt be too bothered by a less than ideal shoulder width (i realize this is apostacy here on styleforum).

Yes, you really need to go wdown a size. The sleeves you can have shortend but the shoulders are too big which can only be fixed by going down a size.
