No, those are the only options for the lapels. This is one of the most pressing things I'm asking the suitmaker to implement, but who knows when that'll happen.
Got a shoe question - does anyone here have experience with both the handgrade and benchgrade models? If not, maybe Kent can answer directly.
I believe both of the handgrade shoes are made by D.C. Lewis, and the benchgrades are all from Kent's own shoe line - is that correct? I had been in touch with David at D.C. Lewis and he is a little ways out from restocking his shoes, so I might be able to order the same thing from KW since there seems to be a pretty healthy stock right now.
I need a pair of brown balmorals, and I'm trying to decide if I want the benchgrade captoe, or if I want to pay a little more to get the hangrades with the medallion. Is it worth it for the extra $100?
Philly - suit looks great, well done! Thanks for posting the pic. My only question, do you think the quarters are open enough? If I remember correctly, I think Spoo had the same issue with his first suit. It doesn't look bad in the pics, but under the buttoning point it kinda looks like the rest of the jacket sort of hangs there, whereas many other jackets that are nipped snugly at the waist seem to flare open a bit more.
I think peak lapels generally look better when they are fairly wide. I am a huge admirer of most of Spoo's suits (who here isn't?), and this one I recently came across in another thread is no exception:Question: As peak lapels are generally wider than notch, how is the width measured on the peak lapel? Would a 4.5 inch peak lapel be extremely wide or would it look seeing as it's a peak lapel?
Helps me. So, thanks.I have a 42" chest, 32" waist and 16" neck and I bought a Large polo first. After multiple wearings it ends up loose fitting, especially around the waist.
A Medium for my build is very close fitting and what I prefer and recommend. Polo quality is fantastic and don't have ostentatious crocodiles on them.
Hope this helps someone.

This doesn't make a lot of sense. A large is 20" across the chest and so shouldn't even fit you. Also, you are a drop 10?
They're pretty different styles. It's a matter of you want a more basic, formal, and versatile shoe, which would be the captoe, or if you want a more informal style with the brogue. If you don't own a plain dark brown captoe, then definitely get that first.Got a shoe question - does anyone here have experience with both the handgrade and benchgrade models?

No, I'm afraid not. The more expensive ranges aren't really that much more. C is $70 more for a 2-piece suit, D is $105 more.Also, any plans to add more basic A-range fabric choices? In particular, a solid lighter charcoal/mid gray. Looking through the fabric options, I was somewhat surprised and disappointed not to see any.
Sorry for all the questions, Kent!
Just imagine the peak lapel as a notch lapel and measure to the same location. Our peak lapel is the same width as the notch.Question: As peak lapels are generally wider than notch, how is the width measured on the peak lapel?

it is not stated on the front page but does kent offer a SF affiliate code? if not no worries. going to pick up some ties but had to ask
