The first looks really nicely shaped from the front, but what's going on with the vents at the back?
Thanks! I am not sure I see anything wrong with them. Maybe, it's the way I was standing or the way the picture is taken. I wear the suit, every now and again, and I can see close normally.

Or maybe you are referring to the cut. There's a bit more "skirting", as is canonical for British cuts. I personally like it this way, as it makes it both more elegant and playful.

How would you rate a double-breasted suit with a massive lapel inspired by Carlos Dormond? Is it too flashy or arrogant to wear in a business setting or formal events? And where do you think it would be appropriate to wear this type of suit?

Is 6x1 or 4x1 double-breasted no longer a thing? I've always preferred the look over the higher buttoning point everyone seems to use now.

Had a 4x1 made for myself recently and currently getting a 6x1 tux
