Well, the Purple Label arrived tonight and I am pleasantly surprised. Lapels not as big as I anticipated, fit is spot on (as far as I can tell), and fabric is very comfortable. I am going to wear it tomorrow to take a deposition. I feel like I stepped right out of the '30s with this baby on.

It's pulling very oddly in that photo. Is the bottom button exposed like that normally?

No, I have my arms up to take the damn pic. It is really hard to get a pic of yourself in a mirror with a camera phone.
