Hi all,
I am having my first bespoke sport coat made. I asked the tailor/representative about functional buttonholes. He said that the house standard is to make the bottom two sleeve buttons functional only, but that they would be happy to make all the buttons functional if that's what I prefer. The rationale for the house default had something to do with making alterations easier in the future.
I don't really have a strong preference on this, but I thought I would ask for opinions. I doubt I would ever leave all 3-4 buttons unbuttoned (or any, really). Is there a good reason for preferring one option over the other?
