I won't wear mine with jeans. For my taste, it's too dressy a shoe for jeans.

Studs got here barely in time for my event last night.

They look great, but pop off far too easily. Do you think they'll stay together better if I solder the links shut?

Fully agree.

Get the chukkas if you want something that can be worn in office and casually.

I agree with this as well. I only wear my KW brown cap toes in a dressy environment. They wouldn't match very well with jeans IMO.

Not an option you see often on RTW suits so I've never tried one on.

Does the 3-roll-2 change the button stance at all? I thought the second button of a 3-roll-2 is in the same place as the top button would be on a regular 2-button suit.

I wouldn't do the narrow lapel... and I believe you can lower the button stance up to 3.5cm.

Here's a 3-roll-2 with wide lapels. Button stance lowered, and I'm a short guy.

That looks good. The wide lapel is definitely the way to go.

Is this wide lapel wider than the standard or is it just not narrow?

Looks like the wide (4.5 inch) lapel option. It's what I'll be opting for on my MTM suit from Kent. Standard is 3.5 inch.

By the way, I assume that's an odd jacket given the patch pockets and lack of matching trousers in the pic? Looks nice. If all goes well with my MTM suit, I'll probably commission a navy blue odd jacket sometime down the road.
