yfyf's Liverano--Their lapels are among the very best, and no one I've seen cuts more handsome fronts (quarters). They harmonize perfectly with the shape of the shoulder and reflect the lapel shape beautifully too.

I am enamored with the lapel roll on this suit.

ctp120: Very nice! The colour palette, and everything, is great! I would say the jeans are a little boring but they suit the ensemble well! I'm starting to hate big lapels..! ¬.¬

Indeed, and the same lapel:quarter ratio is at work here. Not sure, but I think I see what looks like a besom ticket pocket there, and if so, it's up almost halfway to his armpit. Weird. EDIT: I guess it's about even with his button stance, which seems appropriate. Maybe his short torso length is what makes it look exaggeratedly high to me.
