In mine too. Moreover, when it comes to suits and coats, almost everything we wear has it roots in dusty textbooks.
Undoubtely this confirms that: a) it's not a Neapolitan affectation; b) it's not an affectation at all.
Full stop.
Once said this, one may like it or not, it's up to personal tastes.

Re: Napoli Tailoring
Less flawed than yours, that defines it an affectation just because you don't like it.
It has a function, it's a technical device to achieve a certain effect, and it's of great visual effect sometimes. That's it. If you want a deeper analisys of the pros and cons of front long darts, drop a line to Mr Maresca (the one quoted at the end of all your posts), he will surely be happy to explain to you the whole thing. :-)
