I just received a SB RLPL cashmere blazer and I had a few questions on fit for anyone else who has one. There is roping in the jacket shoulders (unlike my other RLPL suit) and they look fine but there is a small amount of space between where my shoulder ends and the end of the blazer shoulder. I mainly wanted to know if this was normal or if the shoulders should be flush with the jacket shoulder. Also, would anyone mind posting some fit pics of their RLPL blazer for reference? <edit> going to add a few of my fit pics of this blazer for critique

sorry for the bad lighting and grainy photos RLPL (not yet altered, wrinkled from shipping): Also, a few other jackets that I have with questionable shoulders: Valentino Roma (not yet altered): Corneliani (altered and the shoulders are just not right):

Quick Question: Why does the Corneliani look like the sleeves are unequal? Left side looks too short, right side looks fine.

I'd blame my bad stance on that one... must have been leaning to one side when I took the pic :0 also, the shirt I was wearing is new and the sleeves are abit long.

Can you explain why the Corneliani is bothering you, because I see it's fine.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. The shoulders on the corneliani bother me because they dent inward (and are roped just like the RLPL). My main concern is that the RLPL would do this in the future.
