Had the contest been between B and this one:

I'd have voted for ^


Me too. Simone is a genius. He's the only guy allowed to wear clip on suspenders...

I'd have voted for ^ (There are better examples, but he's recent.)

How does this resemble a? Edit: oops I was fixating on just the cuts, but I guess anything is o.k., including styling.

B looks like an idealized version of that swedish guy's mtm disaster coat.

I voted for A but did so without a ton of enthusiasm, though if that jacket fit better I think the whole look would come together.

Just as a representative of the "not new, neat and pristine" camp.

Yes, I agree. I just can't get past those shoulders.

I dislike plenty of things about both A and B and would feel wrong voting for either.

Damn, I've become a third party voter.

It's OK... Nader dresses better than both of those guys.

So what if A's jacket is a bit of a mess? Some of you people obsess far too much over very human and unavoidable missteps. The man and his outfit clearly have some personality and natural style.

B is just another GQ-reading drone.

A is not great, and soft can be and is done much better, but if I have to choose, A is definitely more to my liking than B.
