I think a 3 roll 3 lapel is nice because it allows someone on the shorter side to wear a 3 button without, I think, shortening the wearer.

Also it emphasizes the elegance of the roll, if it's a nice roll.

I call this bs. There's no such thing. Unless, you're talking about food.

I was thinking he liked 50% of his buttons to roll and 50% not to roll rather than 33% to roll and 66% not to roll.

But maybe you're right.

I think all of you are looking for the Social Life, Food, and Drink thread "What Did You Do Last Night?...".

I prefer 6-roll-4buttons, especially on my triple breasted thong strap

Too obvious but I get the point.

It is vestigial, like nipples on men. It's there as a reminder of what once was, but is now useless.

without that "new topic" button you'd be out of posts, but without people like you i would be out of posts! plus - i always at least try to give SOME insight, as you could tell from my previous replies. not just meaningless posts (or so i'd like to believe).

I like the 3 roll 2 to be more of a classy suit. More formal than a 2 button suit, and can be very versitile.

I was talking about the lapels actually being more "rolled" than the ones in the picture above

you exaggerated the roll here right? The 3-roll-2s I've seen before all roll at the middle of the buttonhole.
