Hey Ben - I stand corrected as I have a cary model and it does have slightly stronger, or perhaps more accurately "extended" shoulders, than the Scotts, Stewarts, Base S or V I have.
Funny, but it is not exactly more padded than my other Isaias, but it is definitely more "shaped" - is this how you would describe the shoulder in your suits?
And not to derail the tread, but I just came across a Carlyle model from the now defunct Enrico Isaia handmade line. Assuming it is a Euro market model, but any idea on the shape of those shoulders?
Yes - good way to put it. The Benjamins really are lightly padded but offer more shape and/or structure. The reason being that, off the rack, it works well for a greater number of people. Also the natural shoulder, while highly regarded here on the forum, is not nearly as widely sought after and/or understood by the general populace.
Never came across the Carlyle model - we had very few Enrico Isaia's come through unfortunately...
