Would that be classified as a British Drape?Originally Posted by Parker
Well, there's no extension and a classic English drape would have at least an extra 1/4", and usually more like 1/2". That coat is intended to look more Neapolitan.

i like both soft with a touch of extension and also the way Manton discribed too
for me it depend on how i want the overall look i like Mantons way for business/ citty suits and with a touch of extension for my sport coats and odd JKT's, this is so for work i still have a moderate level of cleaness in the chest but also have the comfort of the drape. and with the extension i can pop a jumper or some more layers on underneth if needs must!

I agree that Edmorel's jacket appears to be too tight, but that picture's small and dark, so it's hard to tell what that dimple under the sleevehead really looks like.

I do think ones genetics, build and posture has a lot to do with how each style can look. For instance, drizzt3117 prolly has the biggest drop from shoulder to waist of any on the forum, he has large and muscular shoulders. I would think very minimal or no padding would be the most appropriate, but his padded Brioni models tend to look the by far best on him.
