Here's what I like about SS:
-Good sized lapels
-Decent to very good button stance
-Interesting and wide range of shoulder construction. Natural, Soft, Structured, Roped, etc.
-Decent construction (Half-canvassed, some nice looking and feeling fabrics)
I don't like that they have standard working buttons, that's almost a deal-breaker, as it makes alterations a real pain.
So, given those points, are there any good alternatives to SS?
Seems like the vast majority of brands/makers in the sub 500$ category are pumping out suits and coats with too high button stance, skimpy lapels, short jackets and terrible shoulder construction.
