To be clear, I meant that the actual suit's shoulder widths are different/lower, though according to Kent's notes they should be the same, +1.5 cm. My physical shoulders should be the same length.


We're hardly ever perfectly symmetrical. Very likely one of your shoulders is slightly shorter than the other, just like most people.

Appreciate all your input guys. I do agree it fits very well and am prob being OCD as this is the suit I'll be wearing to my wedding.

For my MTM suit, we lowered the shoulder angle on one side. One of my shoulders slopes down lower than the other. This didn't create an appearance of even shoulders, but it prevents the button point of the jacket from being uneven.

Sorry to change the topic back to shoes, but does anyone have any "in the wild" photos of the medium brown benchgrade captoes?

I own them and can highly recommend them. No pics though. I just bought the boots as well - I'll probably post pics of them "in the wild" within the week.

If you could take a couple snaps of your medium brown benchgrades at the same time, I would be grateful.

The dark brown look very nice, but I already have a pair of black captoes and burgundy captoes, so I think a medium brown would be more versatile in the long run.

Does anyone have pics of the handgrade penny loafers? They look nice on the site, but i'm curious what they look like in the wild.

Crappy weather in Boston today, so took two quick pics at the edge of my garage. Not the best with my iPhone, but should give you an idea of the color in natural light.

Boots are AMAZING. Really think you should slim out the pants, look like floods" because of the width. Also makes you look you have tiny feet.

Thank you so much for posting! I super duper appreciate it. Sadly the Burgundy in Size 10 is sold out. Totally my own fault for procrastinating

@Frankie22 , the camera angle and me bending over to take the photo is playing games with the view of the pants. The pants are Howard Yount's "made in Italy" , so they are fairly slim. They are also not as "floody" as they appear although I did not have a break put into the pants. Another crappy pic may give you a better idea.

@patliean1 , Kent said he will be getting the next round of boots in about 6 months - better put a reminder on your calendar.
