I have gone from square shoulders in my 20s to sloped shoulders 30 years later. The shoulder Chris makes for me is, to my eye, the best I have worn. It is well constructed and squared, but not heavily padded. After he had already had a fair amount of experience, he worked with one of the Caracenis who came to the US and I know that influence is still there.

I can't get a good fit in RTW or MTM; interestingly the Roman Brioni is the closest but still far from a bespoke fit.

V or A? As usual the solution is in the middle: I! ...Jimmy Walker (and from the sleeves, you can tell he was struggling to find hangers of the right size. I used to have the same problem. And there you also have the answer to the other question - should the points of the shirt collar end under the coat?)

I like the curved (at the buttoning point)of the lapels of Jimmy Walker's coat.
