This coat was originally supposed to be a paletot, but the size lengthwise is a little too short to wear a suit underneath it. I'm also not able to wear a sport coat inside as it feels a little too tight and uncomfortable.

I'm thinking about converting it into a peacoat. How should I get this trimmed down?
Here are the photos of the coat.

It will not reduce in length satisfactorily as the pockets will be hideously close to the bottom.


Fine to wear as it is with jeans or casual trousers.

Thank you for your reply.
Does the fit look kind of boxy or does it look ok?
