they are, and I noticed the BL's button was positioned much lower than DH's. Still, they both fit slim, had narrower lapels, flat front pants, 2-buttons, and were in the same price range. This is what I need. I also checked Dolce & Gabbana and their martini line fits me great - but no navy 2-buttons, a bust.

All the lines you mentioned make grey suits in abundance, do you already have enough of those?

I'm going to add a solid medium grey sometime. My current grey is a light pinstripe Thom Browne. Unfortunately, I'm just adding one suit at a time in this economy. Right now, I just have a cheap-o 3 button navy Calvin Klein that I bought in college and it's just not the right fit. I need the 2-button navy, a standard. I thought it'd be easy to find, but nothing fits me (I'm 5'7", 129 lbs, 36" shoulders, 29" waist) besides a few brands.

Any other suggestions in the $1500-1800 category would be appreciated. I might look at Jil Sander too, but I'm not sure how they fit in the shoulders.

I'll check them out next time I go to see John at Bergdorf Goodman. I'm missing their damn sale too!
