Yeah, wow I didn't expect B to 'win'. I am obviously still stuck in the glory days of soft-tailoring that were 2008.

I was expecting a runaway victory for A. I voted for A, because Signore Barbera reminds me of my grandfather and I like that style. B is zZZZZZZzzzzz

You don't have to be an RLBL fanatic to dislike A. I've voted for neither but I probably prefer B, despite how bland it is as a whole. It's not so much the colour or slouchyness in A that I dislike, but more how damn square it is. And I mean that in a literal sense; it's like he's dressed in a big brown oblong.

I doubt it does. There are many reasons members voted for B, chief among them the horrible fit of A. I didn't see anyone post about how interesting B was BTW, but A is just pure fail.

More of S. Barbera. Full version of the "A" photo

Nice DB (nicely buttoned too)

Tip of the hat to Gianni Agnelli?

Swap this in for the original A and he would likely run away with the poll. Much better fit.

who do YOU think looks better? no amount of money can replace a body that's in shape
Hacking pockets don't help the case. If you're round out in front, probably best not to have them. I thought they were specifically for horsey jackets? P.S. in regards to Barbera in the first post, how the hell does a forum of clothing experts judge the fit of a jacket when someone is putting their hands in their front pockets. His getup looks comfortable, some days i'd much prefer to look comfortable.

The jacket seems specially designed to highlight his moobs.

A, B, or C?

exactly, here's me thinking this guy looks better in a double breasted jacket, no ticket pocket.

Same fit? Anyway looks much better as a whole. Might be the moustache.

I don't think so. The chest, shoulders and upper arms of the DB all seem better. It may be because it is less broken down, but I think it was probably made closer to when the photo was taken with a better fitting pattern.

May be we're looking at different pictures, but I see no DB (double breasted ?) jacket in Axes post..
