Completely agree with both of you here. Lower button-stance FTW
I'm not a fan of the super-low button stance on the Ludlow blazers either.
...On the other hand, I think the low button stance is actually good. The top button on a two-button jacket hits right at my natural waist, about 1.5-2" above my belly button. The button stance is higher on a lot of trendy labels, but I don't like it higher for three reasons: (1) it eliminates the flattering V-shape the jacket should give my torso; (2) it causes the quarters to flare open; and (3) on a slim-fitting jacket, it makes it too tight across my chest (which, unlike my waist, expands when I breathe).
I couldn't agree more, the low button stance is perfect. I'm 6'3 and broad shouldered, so that probably plays a role in my preference for a lower button stance which I feel helps lengthen the torso.
