Some tailors/stylists like to used roped shoulders to offset sloping shoulders. Whnay seems to have a touch more natural slope to his shoulders. Same as myself.

Although all 4 are excellent, I like whnay's best. (100% Subjective) Even if he hates Bill Cunningham. (Also 100% Subjective ahem)

I think what does it for me is the full sleeve with the larger lapels. The roping is a nice touch, thank you Despos for pointing out the reasoning behind it.

It may be the DB factor! I recall Matt & Matt's DB's being very nice as well.

Perhaps this calls for a second set of visuals - Matt/Matt/Whnay DB's!

Thanks for the compliments fellas. I hope to be back to see Rubinacci this winter and place my next order. Thinking two/three suits, a sportcoat and a couple of shirts. Any special requests from the SF mob?

BTW Foo you should put the rest of your photos in this thread.

I'm skimmed the thread and might have missed it but did you have something made using a relatively light cloth?

I don't know if you are asking how they do with thinner, lighter cloth, but I have a couple and they are no less well fitted than the heavier ones.

I'm wondering how they look and if they cut/style them differently.
