Are Caruso suits cut slim, similar to RLBL, or are they cut more traditionally?

I know Caruso made some of the previous RLBL suits. After reading through the prior posts, people mention that Caruso mainline has softer shoulders than RLBL but don't really comment on the rest of the fit.

Besides the shoulders, how are Caruso suits cut? Would they be good for a slim, athletic build?

Not sure how relevant this is, but I have an RLBL sport coat (bought earlier this year) that is soft-shouldered. I presume it is made by Caruso, but I don't know. Anyway, it's a great fit for me in 38R, and I'm very slim and usually between a 36R and a 38R. So presuming it is made by Caruso, I'd say definitely it's a good cut for slim guys.
