At least the old Toff stays in shape to be able to wear a suit that
is probably decades old. Beautifully cut in any case.

I prefer the cut of the Steed (more subdued), but I have to say that the Attolini/Barbera fits remarkably well. I couldn't tell it was RTW -- usually the shoulders are a giveaway, but in this case they look like bespoke shoulders to me.

The sleeves and shoulders on the Steed are some of the nicest I've seen from Vox.

Is his jacket badly frayed along the lower front, or is that just the photo?
