I don't think it makes you look particularly skinny. I like the silhouette quite a bit, and the lapels. Very nice.Originally Posted by Baron
+1. Has a bit more sporty and youthful vibe than what I've seen you in previously.

Mina did not say anything about the shoulders falling, though I assume they will; all my soft coats have to date. Her tailor did give the coat a major tug all the way around. I gather this is another Naples thing.Originally Posted by Manton
The only thing that keeps bugging me about this (and a some of the other stuff you have that I've seen), is that you either pose, or stand normally, with your shoulders rolled forward. If you look at the jacket here, the jacket "ripples", and folds over itself in the chest. I find it distracting and unflattering.
Again, I don't know if this is just how you stand when you take photos, or is your normal posture. Simply an observation.

That second picture is very flattering. Very nice silhouette, the trousers too - will look even better when the sleeve heads settle down.Originally Posted by gdl203
Do sleeve heads actually "settle down" ? Sounds like the tight shoes
eventually fitting after months of painful wear. Rarely happens.

Comparing the Swedish railways to the Blue Line here in Chicago (which I take to work every day) is like compring a Porsche Panamera to a Chevy Malibu. The Swedish railways - faults included - felt positively luxurious compared to the hellish trains we ride in Chicago.Originally Posted by Bull
That's what the Swedes get from their high taxes, and low defense spending.

Hold on, there's some pretty shaky infrastructure in the States.Originally Posted by George
There were power cuts not that long ago in California as I recall.
It wasn't infra structure. It was grid mismanagement and fraud by the likes of Enron.
Where I live, which has a municipally owned utility, during the height of the problems
we had steady power and much lower rates.

I see a right pagoda shoulder and left droopy shoulder. Mina did not tug the right panels?

I have a dropped right shoulder, the coat is cut correctly to fit for that. The difference is not evened out with padding (I hate that). It's really not noticeable IRL unless you stare at my shoulders for a length of time. In a photo, it's instantly evident.
The shoulders are definitely not pagoda. As foo noted, they are ruler straight. Whether they will settle, we shall see. A&S style coats of mine have done so, but they also have started out with a rounder shoulder than this. IME, it takes at least a year of wear to start seeing a real difference so it will be a while before we know. Also, this cloth is pretty tough.

Now that you mention it, is it possible that your A&S coat was not cut correctly to fit for that, hence the divot? (Fwiw, this appears to fit you very well, unlike your A&S.)Originally Posted by Wes Bourne
I don't think so. I'd have to look at it again to be sure but typically divots are caused by something else.

I like this a lot. It looks, for lack of a better word, very smart. It seems like there's a bit of swelling in the chest but I'm happy to take foo's word that there isn't much shaping there.
