The Tan suit looks kinda grey, is that just the photo? what is the true to life color?

On the second one - what does label on the second what say? it almost looks like Polo by Ralph Lauren, but perhaps that's because its blue and fuzzy.

quite interested in the RLPL...the 19.5" shoulders seems pretty tight for a 46. Is it worth buying it to try on the jacket? If it's just too tight will you take it back?

first I want to make sure there's no confusion.. it is Polo line (by Corneliani) as opposed to RLPL (by St Andrews)
I would prefer that you try to find a Congressman model locally to try.. they're cut a little different.. I'm typically a 44 and the jacket is certainly too big for me.. there's fairly little padding in the shoulder, so I think that affects how a 19.5" shoulder fits
the measurement is true though.. I didn't trust it, so measured many times (including this morning)
at this time, I haven't decided to take returns, or how to handle that
not being a store, receiving merchandise back would be pretty painful, as I'm really trying to unload things and not take more in
I'm not trying to be difficult, that's why I suggested you find one at retail to compare
