Lengthening?

Hi all, I've just copied this pattern out to make a coat (view A) for my son.

I've chosen size 4 and then added 3/4" in length at the waist notch, and another 3/4" in length at the bottom seam.

With regards to the belt loops and true positioning of the waist, I suppose I'll just use the lower of the two waist marks (rather than the original shorter notch). Will that work?

Also, do you think I need to drop the pocket placement down by 3/4" too? I don't want the pockets to bump into the belt....

Will I have stuffed up the button hole placement and can I still use the template?

Does any of that make sense or have I just horribly complicated things?....

Thanks in anticipation of anyone making sense of all of that, or taking the time to reply.
