I like my jackets a little too short. With jeans I cant see a problem with this at all.

I'm not too concerned about the shortness. It's exaggerated by the excessively baggy jeans I was wearing. I got them when my thighs were a lot bigger while I was rowing regularly, but they kind of sag a lot now. Needless to say they don't see the outside world much. My real concern is the bunching in the back and right under the sleeve. I also don't know if it could use more waist suppression

You should be. The length of this jacket is very unflattering on you. And don't get me started on those jeans! Donate them to charity. Now.

There's a proper pair of pants. The flash is quite bright. If it's not obvious, the 2nd button got caught in the 2nd picture. If it's just the waist that's the problem, which I know is one anyway, I can take it in as I usually do. But if it's the shoulders too, I'll have to put it back up for sale. I'd like to make it work, if possible, since it is a nice jacket I'll put those jeans on the to-do list.

The blades are too full. If you reduce the waist only the back will look worse. I think the neck is tad big. The back needs to be reduced from the shoulder, thru the blade to the waist and down. You will have a bigger problem with the center vent after the alteration, you might want to close it up. Your right shoulder is lower that the left so the jacket breaks more on that side. The front button position looks too high on you.
