This Brioni looked like something a mid-life gangster from Godfather would wear. The fabric was fantastic and creamy, but the cut of a suit is as important.
Good call. The button stance is too low for contemporary taste.

Yep, the gorge is about one or two inches lower than what I'd consider acceptable.

You can't really tell until you try it on. The angle of the gorge is sloping more than what you see from Naples but it will look different on you than it does on the hanger. Same goes for the button position.
