^ It's always nice to see peak lapels that actually point back over the shoulder instead of out to the sides.

Funny, it is soft, but I did not think that it looked so soft. It's less slouchy than other things I own, and less obviously draped.

There is no shoulder padding. There is, however, a touch of sleevehead wadding. The front canvas exists, but is not assertive.

1. It is comforting to see that the toilet paper unrolls properly, and that there is a sufficient quantity for most meals.

2. Outpocket flaps seem a tad large...are they trapezoidal?

3. Why no dimple in the the tie? Is that an Albert?

The navy DB is perhaps my favorite of the classics. I want to say that comes from A&S but I somehow doubt that is correct.
