For the cut of the Borrelli, I agree...

Then again, the Loro Piana had a Vicuna sportsjacket...

The Borrelli had the classic Napoli cut..... which I love, we all love.

For tailored sportcoats, Loro Piana's tend to have a very basic no-frills construction (nice fabric though.) So I'd go with Borrelli. For casual outerwear there is less of a difference.
