Way too much waist suppression. I mean RLBL is fashion forward but this takes it to another level.Originally Posted by MetroStyles
This is my main complaint based on the models in the pics, too much suppression. Short jackets and extreme waist suppression don't look good to my eye.Originally Posted by JayJay
Agreed. It makes some of the suit jackets look like mini skirts.Originally Posted by kgmessier
You fine gentlemen appear to be confusing actual waist suppression with the perception of waist suppression imparted by a built up shoulder. Compare the shoulders on the RLBL models with the RLPL ones. No comment re: the short length - not a fan either. It's good that the RLPL and PRL stuff are keeping lengths 'normal', even if barely so.

You have a point. I'll have to see how the jackets fit IRL.

No, I'm fairly certain that is a built up shoulder AND waist suppression all in one. Which is too cartoony. My 2007 RLBL Anthonys are as extreme as I want to get.
