Re: Anderson & Sheppard dissected
Here are some pics of Edwin De Boise (Steed) coats - http://www.styleforum.net/showpost.php?p=2889753&postcount=531. They look tight around the waist and the patch pockets look odd (too big and too low IMHO).

Re: Anderson & Sheppard dissected
Quality issues and appropriateness for body types aside for a moment, they certainly seem to make a suit style which polarizes suit wearers. Their own mottto is something like "Some swear by our clothes, others swear at them." The look evokes a strong response and they appear to know this and be comfortable with that niche.

Re: Anderson & Sheppard dissected
The Prince of Wales is no longer a customer at A&S and switched to MTM tailoring at Turnbull & Asser.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1509079/Suits-you-Sir.html
"For decades he followed the tradition of his royal forefathers, dressing impeccably in £4,000 suits from Savile Row.
"Now, however, Prince Charles has shocked the world of fine tailoring by turning his back on his distinctive bespoke outfits. Instead, he has become the first heir to the throne in modern times to buy made-to-measure alternatives - at less than half the price.
"Royal sources say that Prince Charles, 57, has recently bought several made-to-measure suits from Turnbull & Asser, who have held a royal warrant from the Prince for their shirts since 1980.....
"John Hitchcock, the managing director of Anderson & Sheppard, which is 100 years old this year, confirmed that the Prince was no longer a customer. The firm had made 20 suits for him. "It's unfortunate but if Prince Charles chooses to buy made-to-measure suits - or even factory-made suits - that's up to him," he said."

Re: Anderson & Sheppard dissected
Don't think we're disagreeing. You mustn't let me tease you 
I take the point about an American market - Mahon and DeBoise also seem to do well in the USA. But I don't like it. I think that the Steed jackets I have seen on the forums unbalance people - they look like they work out in the gym but don't use the leg machines. Not flattering.
The Mahon picture (is it Matthew Fan?) looks like an action back jacket without the pleats. I prefer my jacket clean across the shoulder, pretty high gorge, gentle squared shoulders and nipped in at the waist. That way I look like what I'm not...
