PREFERENCE: Naturaly shoulder vs. moderately padded shoulder

[eHaberdasher]

So what say ye? Which do you prefer? Toying with the idea of offering a Benjamin model with a natural shoulder, or would you prefer a moderately padded shoulder like RLBL or current Benjamin models?

Natural for my shoulders. They are large as is. Don't need any help there.

Out of curiosity, if you do do a slightly padded shoulder will they also be roped?

 

[tricky]

Natural as well.

 

[Parker]

Naturale.

I think on this forum you will generally see a resounding theme. Me? I think they both have their purposes, although natural is my preference.

Probably minimal to no roping - personally not a huge fan of roping.

I like the amount of padding that you currently have; but I'd be fine either way. I'd just like to see more variety in the fabrics on offer (still campaigning for a lighter blue or blue nailhead ).

Fate did not see fit to bless me with big shoulders, so I like a little padding.

Not a huge fan of the natural shoulder. Give me some pad give me some rope!

Huh. I have small shoulders myself - I wear a 38R, and I'm partial to the natural shoulder.

Yes - new fabrics coming. Also need to restock basics in certain sizes... man we didn't know there was such high demand for 36S and 38S!

Padded or "structured" slightly. I prefer that a suit or jacket add a little definition to the torso. That being said, a natural shoulder is all some need if their shoulders are square or already well defined.

Soft/Natural. Like Isaia would be perfect

 

[lostron]

natural for me but slightly padded for those with smaller shoulders

Natural for me.
