Ethan is just too big, all the clothes on him look a bit off. Even though they are made by the worlds best tailors.
Also, why are they showing no cuff? Is it out of fashion right now?
Sort of like wearing skin tight #menswear, just reversed!

That is a slim man wearing slim clothes. Can't tell much from the photo as he is sitting down and bending over. Could fit, could be to tight. Most of the #menswear showcased here and on the blogs is to tight. As in check out my ball bag tight.

Agreed. That pic is a great look and fit IMO.

I don't think that he's wearing a pair of his own trousers, although Ethan is possibly wearing a pair of Ambrosi pents.
It looks more like Sav is wearing the same suit by "Formosa" that he was wearing when he was profiled by a "Men's Ex" in Japan recently. It looked waaaay too tight then (and I say that as someone who wears rather tight clothes at times) and it still looks too tight now. I think that the jacket is worse than the trousers, as well.

what about the lapels? thoughts?

They are bountiful.

Well, it's easy to be picky about pictures posted on the internet.

However, I do think that Ambrosi's lapels are too large.

I like DB jackets with wider, peak lapels but those are just too big, and I think that their overly large size is accentuated further by the very tight fit of the jacket.

They make it look as though he's going to take flight at any moment, leaving Ethan standing there, spellbound, as Ambrosi soars up into the heavens propelled by his bountiful lapels.
