But it's classic and proper fitted styling regardless of SF!

They might be, but they're also more sloped.

The original one was a bit more 'black label' then the sloped Neapolitan shoulder of the 'foofed'.

I think the best improvements made were the simplest: the adjusted shirt collar/knot, and the sleeve length.

He's going to tighten the collar around your neck and bring the buttoning stance lower. Possibly something to soften the angle of where the shoulder line meets the collar. Boom

Other possibles: Spread collar, darker tie, reshaped quarters. Maybe a Wii Fit under the sofa.
