With my limited knowledge of British suits, I've noticed a trend in their types of shoulders. A large slope, with roped shoulders. There is a brand I have a jacket from (Rake) which does this very well, with an interesting way of padding the interior. www.rakestyle.com

Anyone have any experience with this brand? Very well made but I know it's very fashion forward and youthful. Some of the photos of their models look a bit off but with the right build they work in my experience.

Are there other suit makers that do this kind of silhouette? It screams British to me, but I'm not sure I know why.
