I am interested in learning more about iconic and recognizable suit details for various brands and tailors. For example:
  1. Huntsman - single button front
  2. Sexton/Nutter/Chittleborough - wide bellied peak lapel
  3. A&S - drape and swell
  4. Cifonelli - cigarette shoulder
  5. Smalto/Camps de Luca - fish mouth lapel
  6. Kiton/Attolini/Isaia - spalla camicia, 3 roll 2 lapel
  7. Liverano - undarted front and open quarters
  8. Sciamat - puffed shoulders
  9. Brioni - smooth shaped chest
  10. Tom Ford - five cuff buttons, wide peak lapel three piece
  11. J Press - undarted front, hook vent
  12. Allen Xie - high gorge, wide and pointed notch lapels
Obviously these are a gross over simplification for each brand and tailor but I am curious if there are any details for other brands and tailors that are iconic and immediately recognizable.

Huntsman also includes hacking flap pockets, and a strong shoulder and chest

A&S is known for "soft tailoring" which has a softer shoulder, canvas, and drape in the chest

Liverano has diagonal darts from the side body so as to not interrupt patterns and a concave belly on the lapel
