Why does Edward Sexton look so good in his suit?

I %100 agree with you. His suits have strong straight, unapologetic lines along with perfect fit and proportion. A straight strongly built shoulder with a bold rope sleeve. Thick, rich , high gorge ,"FU" lapels. His collars have a high ,perfectly fitted to the neck ,stand and they go perfectly with his fantastic , sharp , tall , snugly fitted shirt collars. And most importantly he puts all of this together perfectly and he has the self confidence to pull it all together perfectly. There is nothing subtle about him. And there should not be.
In my humble opinion.

I like that even though he is a small guy like myself, he looks taller on most photos. Which shows that 6x2 double breasted jackets can indeed work very well on smaller guys.

Absolutely double breasted suits can work on smaller guys, Hristo. Google , "Jimmy Cagney coming down the stairs". Look at Humphrey Bogart and Edward G. Double breasted suits can look great on any structure if done right.

“I like sophisticated, elegant clothing” says Sexton somewhere around the 20 minute mark.

His suit and style remind me of old Hollywood.

What is interesting to me in the video is to see the contrast between Sexton and his Chester Barrie interviewer.

Why do they just look, and wear their clothes, so differently and to totally different effect?

Who is elegant, sophisticated and comfortable looking and who is cramped, constrained and constipated looking?

Now I understand that LL’s Andy57 (“styleafter50” over on Instagram) will be ordering a suit from Sexton soon and I am very interested to see that suit on him. It will be interesting to see how a Sexton vs. a Steed vs. a Hemrajani silhouette looks on him.

I expect something special!
