    One of the main concerns of a jacket conversion is that the pockets are about an inch-and-a-half to two inches lower on Saxon jackets than on kilt jackets. If this jacket is a Long, it is not just longer in the arms, but taller in the body as well. These pockets look about where all of my jacket pockets are. If you shorten the sleeves, the pockets will be even lower than on a jacket that fits you to start with.
