the sport coat is just a horizontal peak with round points.
the suit coat is a usual horizontal peak.

some tailors try to attach their name to one version for publicity purposes.

on your next order. the shoulders should be narrower 1" on each side. the waist smaller about 2" each side. the cuffs tighter enough to keep from dropping past the base of the thumb. also you have a right low shoulder.
