Pictures will confirm the fit. Can't really tell either way, ultimately, without seeing it worn. You're right re the skirt length issue in general, though.
That picture above is not what I would call a map pocket...in the UK we generally tend to call this sort of thing "a pocket"......the "map pockets" in my waterproof jackets are all vertical zip entries (i.e. you shove stuff into them from the side not from above ) and big enough for an O.S map.... this is also the orientation of a "gun pocket"...
When you describe a "side" ( meaning "gun") pocket in your first post you say "the opening and the end are parallel" --but since that is the case for both gun/map and top opening pockets that won't have helped the maker to know what you meant...seems to be a bit of a failure of communication.
How did that half-belt work out for you?
Looks fine to me (yep the photos are terrible). Maybe a bit large in the shoulder but no problem. I think they pretty much made what you wanted with a couple of minor issues that wouldn't trouble me. Now what's your next jacket? The first one never pleases entirely and just starts the search for grail...
