Top one, but it looks a little crooked...?
Left lapel notch looks lower than right one.

Great Scot! You're correct. I assume it's the position on the dummy.
Agreed.
Top one is a bit higher and it looks a bit cleaner. The lower one is lower, the lapel is wider, and there is a bit more of a roll to the lapel. It is a more relaxed look. Of course the top one just needs an ABC Logo and it would look awesome! (Ok - maybe it isn't that yellow! - look at the size of the lapel on Alex Karras - Mongo needs big Lapel!)

I probably like Mongo's lapel the best followed by the top lapel.

I like both but if I had to choose one I’d go with Option 1. Who makes the jackets?
Spier & Mackay. Not out yet though, just upcoming previews.
Option 2 is MTO only, Option 1 is standard OTR
those were my thoughts as well, the lower gorge needs a slightly narrower lapel

I think I like the larger lapels on the second jacket. It’s very B&Tailor to me.
Spier and Mackay is a really interesting option for off the rack garments these days. Really good fabric choices on their jackets. For someone starting out or just looking for value it’s a really great option. Their online MTO program is interesting too, especially since they have a full canvas option and you make some fit modifications.
If I lived near a store or had more patience with the mail I would give them a try.

I definitely see the B&Tailor comparison now.
I think some Styfo users discovered the unfinished MTO program before the unveiling and found a "B&Tailor cut" option, this may have been it.
Agreed on value. Most of my wardrobe is from them.
Paypal does allow for free return shipping if that helps.

Recently picked up two coats from them in their sale, as well as a couple of shirts and high rise trousers a while back, I agree very good value esp. when on sale.
As to the jackets, both very nice and we're looking at two different animals here. I would buy both, but that's me. But if I had to pick one I would go with the second. Nicer shoulder, softer all around look.
But again, both very nice.

Apparently I'm in a strict minority since I like much more the second lapel gorge. I don't care for higher gorges, they look off to me; a lower gorge also add depth to the chest, which is something I dont spit on, being a size 36 with loooong legs...

Not that strict a minority, I prefer the second as well, I like that the line of the collar where it joins the lapel, if drawn across across intersects the sleeve head, I feel creates a more balance look regardless of lapel width.
