Thanks for your comments. Yes, I did order for a more modern look, the majority of my current suits are very conservative in color and fit accordingly.
With this make, I strayed to a more unconventional color and cut, but the first attempt at the pants were simply too tight. I feel better about the pants now, but many people commented the jacket was still too short, but I do many people with that length on the modern fits.
Well, I think the jacket looks like it fits pretty nicely. It's tougher to tell with the pants in the dark color in a photo. They don't "hang" like more traditional suit pants, look like more of a jeans fit, but that certainly isn't outside the more modern look, so it's based on what you want. Personally, I think if you get the pant legs tweaked correctly (I prefer the shorter leg in that more modern look, can't recall which leg on yours) you have a nice fitting modern look suit. The pants are far from "traditional" for a suit so don't worry about the shorter jacket - it still fits with the pants for the modern look.
I think the bottom line is, did you order a modern look for the suit? If so, that's what you have and hopefully what you still want. Some love that look some hate it, so the fact that I prefer a much loser fit pants and a larger overall jacket isn't material here. Maybe I'm jealous that I'm too old and frumpy to look good in a suit like that, who knows. It's a good pretty looking suit for what it is, IMO.
