I love the look, except agree about the skinny lapels

No. 1.5 breasted is where the buttons are close together (so its not double breasted i.e. doesnt go all the way from one side of your chest to the other but partially)


Oh, no, those look silly. I was wondering why you posted one like that. Cucinelli does those as well.
