Re: The best British double breasted.
Vox's suit turned out very well.
I don't like the turn-ups though and whilst not the topic of discussion he needs a tie/shirt with a bit more oomph.....like a Duchamp floral for example 
Oh and he needs to lose the bluchers too.
IIRC the cloth is a brown Minnis chaklstripe flannel, which is a beautiful, rich cloth and probably the best brown chalkstripe cloth I've seen. Highly recommended.
Charlie-boys A&S suit is meh...I've seen him in better.

Re: The best British double breasted.
The top suit looks good but a bit tight. I'd like to see it in action, walking, talking, or something. I agree the cuffs don't work. The shirt and tie see very incongruous witha DB to me. Appropo of other threads and FNBs interests, the shirt and tie seem very American choice to me. More suited to a sport jacket look.

Re: The best British double breasted.
The tie is out of proportion to those lapels, and the pattern is not bold enough for those stripes, whilst the colour of the tie does not compliment that shirt. As for the brown abortion of a hankie...........!
Charlie just looks scruffy- I always thought the one married top the nazi princess was a much better dresser.
