Nix the patch pockets all around. Definitely at the hips. Standard welted breast, jetted hip pockets. Double vented.
At that point, you just want the Armoury's Model 6. The whole point of the Model 16 is the triple patch pockets, no vents and no darts.

We think alike. The only other thing that I would do is pull in the waist a touch. I think it's too baggy and shapeless. I know that linen jackets are supposed to be a bit loose, but IMO, this is a bit too much.
