Daywear Jacket Style Question

[Bugbear]

This evening, I took out some stitching I had put in at the bottom edge of the pleats on the back of the jacket. These stitches were to hold the front and back of the pleats, making up the back flap, together as a single piece. I was not satisfied with the stitches, so put a single stitch through the inner crease's edge and all the fabric. I want to redo some of the other stitching back there. The back flap's hem is slightly lower than the rest of the jacket so that it will never be shorter than the hem line. Keeping in mind that the pleats are there to take the place of the open vents and the fabric panels behind them.

On the three inch fell, between the darts on top and the pleats below, I put in lines of steeking on the inside part of the pleat; there's a line at the top and at the bottom of the fell. The stabilizer will attach to the area between these lines of steeking; going across the small of the back, attaching to the center seam allowances, so the tension will be in the stabilizer rather than the stitching etc.

I'm putting off working on the front of the jacket, that would be the cutaway, because I haven't decided what to do on the buttons yet. I don't know if the middle buttonhole will work out. I will probably be doing something that will require the button holes to be re-stitched, but reproducing that keyhole shape might not be doable for me. Still think it would look better, though.

I hope this isn't all a waste of time.
