Hi guys,

Question about SuitSupply's Lazio & Napoli shoulder.

What kind of shoulder is this considered? I love how they feel so natural when wearing them. There's literally no divots, rumpling, or indentations along the top.

There's obviously some kind of padding in there, but it doesn't seem as bulky as other suit shoulders. What is their technique? What style shoulder do they use?

It is called soft shoulder/natural shoulder, not as showy as some neapolitan shoulders but highly sought after these days
They have little to no padding and no hard roping (rollino)

Thank you! Is this a similar shoulder to Tom Ford suits? Particularly the Tom Ford O'Connor cut?

Thought I heard TF features a relatively natural shoulder unless I am mistaken.

Having sought out many a natural shoulder jacket, the best test is to try the jacket out and put your hand on your shoulder. If you feel padding, don't buy. These retailers install these "slimming" mirrors that make you look like the new James Bond whatshisname. You get home with your new purchase, try on in your "real" mirror, and you are disappointed.
