OBAMA SUMMARY: "The two-button contemporary cut suit coat is expertly tailored, although the President would receive a minor deduction for not showing a quarter-inch or so of his shirt sleeve." - Arron Gober
ROMNEY SUMMARY: "Governor Romney wears his fashionable suits like someone who has done so all his professional life – which, of course, he has. It all works very well for him, and you won’t out-dress this exceptionally tailored gentleman." - Arron Gober
- Trousers
"The front of the trousers is flat with no pleat, an excellent choice." - Jacket
"Note the European side vents on the suit jacket, which tend to slenderize the physique of a fit President." - Tie
"President Obama can’t be accused of being liberal in his tie selection, with this ultra-conservative choice."
- Jacket
"His suits are impeccably tailored, although his preferred center vented suits may be a bit dated." - Tie
His ties generally fail to show personality, just like his solid color suits. They work, but "boring!"

OBAMA SUMMARY: "He does have some nice casual clothes, but that’s not what we usually get to see. He knows how to do it, but he generally doesn’t do it." - Arron Gober
ROMNEY SUMMARY: "What will it take to get the presidential candidates to understand that rolled-up dress shirt sleeves aren’t enough to convince people ‘I’m one of you’?" - Arron Gober

BIDEN SUMMARY: "Sometimes the V.P. likes to pull out his old three-button jacket with pleated slacks – in style when he was first elected V.P. four years ago, but outdated today. It’s the only thing that keeps him from being a true couture champ." - Arron Gober
RYAN SUMMARY: "With his athletic frame and youthful appearance, Congressman Ryan should have been the GQ model of the campaign. Sadly, his original wardrobe looked off the rack, uninspired and uninspiring. More recently, his clothes have shown a dramatic improvement, as seen by this trim, well-chosen suit." - Arron Gober
- Jacket
"The VP knows how to wear a suit, and his well-fit jacket works for any occasion." - Cuffs
"Sleeve length should show a bit of cuff, and this certainly does."
- Suit
"His suits are impeccably tailored, although his preferred center vented suits may be a bit dated." - Sleeve
"Without any cuff showing, for all we know he could be wearing a short-sleeve shirt. A small amount of cuff would go a long way."

BIDEN SUMMARY: "Charcoal grey slacks and a navy blazer – a traditional staple. But the three-button blazer itself is outdated; the Vice President should get himself a nice two-button, side-vented blazer instead." - Arron Gober
RYAN SUMMARY: "Once victimized in oversized polo shirts and ill-fitting slacks, now he sports a trim-fitting shirt that looks good on his physique. Unfortunately, these slacks still look like something more appropriately worn for working in the yard or going to a home improvement store." - Arron Gober
- Collar
"At Vice President Biden's age, one button open is stylish, but two is inappropriate." - Jacket
"Three-button blazer? Rather outdated."
- Jacket
"Congressman Ryan's jackets now fit his frame much better than when he joined the ticket. Well-tailored clothes have replaced his earlier off-the-rack look." - Pants
"Too often, Congressman Ryan's pants don't match the crisp, professional look of the rest of his wardrobe."
