If you wanna change the jacket to such an extent, maybe it's not meant to be. I've been there, it happens. So many times had I wanted to change just one little thing to make it perfect... And then I realized it's got nothing to do with perfection and that I just want another jacket altogether.
But again, most important thing is... Well, to me, at least, is that the end result won't look any different. Sure, you'll know. We will, since you made a thread but it won't make any difference in the real world and that's something I'm definitely giving up on, that unobtainable perfection. 'cause it doesn't exist.
You'd have to slice it at the half-belt to make a difference. Also, @Marc mndt is right about throwing the pockets out of balance.
It fits you fantastic as it is! I really wouldn't take any chances with it. It's a really nice jacket. It's been nice for what, 80 years now. That's something to honor, IMO.
