I like wider lapels in general but those are awful on a SB jacket. Yuck.

They’re giving off a 70’s kind of vibe given the lapel width.

I'm sure I'll be on an island here, but these look terrible to me. The chest on these looks boxy and cartoonish in my opinion.

I agree with you. They are not well fitting jackets in my eyes.

Agreed, they look off. That was my first reaction when I saw them, chest is too puffy and soft.
Lapels on brown jacket are too big, jacket would have looked better with narrower lapels.

Gorge too pronounced as well At least to me.

The navy suit looks ok to me. The chest seems to have a bit more drape than usual, but that's a stylistic preference.

The first jacket looks vaguely like someone tried to get an Italian jacket out of Steed. It doesn't look like something Edwin would normally cut. The lapels are a bit wide and the jacket is a bit short. I would probably also let the waist a little.

What's a pronounced gorged?

 

[lordsuperb]

The forward fitting jacket looks like it has less waist suppression from the finished product.

Too much drape here to my eyes. The shoulders also look too wide, especially on the green coat which overhangs the right shoulder a bit awkwardly.

EDIT: picture at fitting stage does look much better.

I just coined that term. Pronounced gorge tm Gorge just looks too big to me, at least in the photos. Almost cartoonish.

The green jacket looks excellent in the forward fitting...perhaps the gent is wearing it a bit awkwardly in the final shot (looks to be sitting back at the shoulders - he needs to pull it down at the skirt...?)?

The navy suit looks good to me (photo angle looks weird), but I think the brown buttons were not the best choice for a suit...

The navy three-piece looks excellent!

The herringbone with the wide lapels does seem a bit dramatic, but to each their own...

It may be the photo angle yes but the 2 piece navy suit looks horrid. Ridiculously top heavy.

The 3 piece is much better but I’m still not entirely comfortable with the very full enboinpoint that it creates.
