Most here will tell you the 3BPL are the work of the Devil, and that PL should only come with 1B ("the rules"). I personally think they can look good, depending on the shape of the lapel and buttoning stance, but would have to roll to the 2nd button or at least 2.5 IMO

I really like the way that looks. I think it's because the button stance is relatively low, showing a lot of shirt and tie. The problem with 3B is that they often cover up a lot of shirt, which doesn't look right to my eye with peaks.

So am I, exclusively except for db and formal wear. Although I like the jacket in the pic, I can't see myself purchasing it.
