The Man.
They are actually quite a cute couple:
Oh I don't know. I suppose he's just one of those men who was born great, and had further greatness thrust upon him.
Your new jackets are a little baggy around the upper chest and arms. Il Vecchio's fit is perfect though.More Prince Bernhard goodness:

So good that he can crack a smile and get away with matching his tie and pocket square. . .

[Insert some gratuitous discourse on the distinction between fashion and style here]Yet every fashion site mentions how a correct fit is a close fit and no shoulder extension at all. They're really misleading beginners.

More seriously, though, I hope that you realize some of the fit that you are describing has much to do with aging in one's clothes.
Mortality, the sordid business of living and dying, and making out of that an art by inhabiting your material and spiritual finitude.
Yada yada yada. . .
Brigadier Arthur Valerian Wellesley, 8th Duke of Wellington.
This is why you are not supposed to throw anything away, ever:

I was just about to cluelessly write “His son, the 9th Duke of Wellington.” But I realize now that you’re asking for what almost looks like a second breast pocket, yet not quite.

Wow, I’ve never seen anything like it before!
It looks like a jetted, well pocket in which he deposited his (reading) glasses.I was just about to cluelessly write “His son, the 9th Duke of Wellington.” But I realize now that you’re asking for what almost looks like a second breast pocket, yet not quite.

Wellesley junior looks positively creepy.
And beauty of aristocracy my arse. At least his father had the grace to serve in the military. The 9th Duke is a businessman. That's trade, not aristocracy.
I ascribe it to people rightly steering the proles away from the anoited. I would hate to see a bunch of jumped up office workers impersonating people who matter.
The working classes used to attach great importance to being well dressed and were sometimes well dressed themselves - Sunday Best - despite lack of money and that many opportunities to be suited and booted. It is a lot easier for cashed-up idlers with butlers to be well turned out.
