All depends if you actually like peak lapels on SB.

Ok, the latest commission that I had was a 3 roll 2.5 (don't worry no peaks) and I like it a lot. It begins to roll pretty much right under the top button. I think there is something to be said about true 3 buttons that naturally over time fall open. I actually think I prefer this. It seems to make a more three-dimensional dramatic roll than jacket made to roll to 2.5. This being said I am not sure what to do with the top buttonhole. Which side should I get the butthole worked on? I am thinking both sides..

Both sides. Care to share a picture? I'd like to see how it turned out, I plan to have all my stuff like that.


I got a GREAT lol out of this series of messages. I'm lol-ing as I type!

(IIRC) Tom Ford does that a lot. And it appears more than I could count in the new series 'Suits'.
I personally don't like that look at all.

The difference is Tom Ford, at least the ones on suits do not have the extra button or the button hole.

I like the look a lot. But I don't like the extra button and button hole. If I buy one I will simply get one with a wide lapel.
