Aero Highwayman Waist Question

[TurboTony]

Evening people. Just purchased this Aero CXL FQHH Highwayman. It’s great and fits perfectly on the shoulders. I am thinking the waist might be too larger however, as this is a boxy jacket and I have a thinner waist. What are your thoughts? First two photos are with the side straps pulled tight, and the last two are with them at rest.

Firstly, adjusting the side straps is unlikely to make any real difference to the width of the waist when the jacket is unzipped.

Also, the fit of a jacket is generally a personal and subjective thing but for me I’d want at least another inch, and probably two, on its overall length.
