From the front it looks like the jacket is quite short but I'm not sure if it just isn't the angle in which the photo is shot. Jacket is ok; perhaps a tad boxy in midsection which should be a quick fix at the tailor.

Looks fine. I agree the jacket needs taken in a bit, but length and shoulders look fine

Thank you yes I agree in these photos looks boxy. When I had my arms by my side was better. Still, will probably get a tailor to do that as I like the more fitted look in that area.
Cheers
