One thing to look at if you want to determine if it it is cut as a 2 button or if cut as a 3 button with the elongated roll to the middle button is the point of any “belly” on the lapel edge above the button. Aristoi on pg 3 post 36 kind of shows this. The plaid jacket being cut has the slightest curvature of belly to the second button. The top button is added. The G. Bruce Boyer picture on pg 2 is a better example. The lapel edge is distinctly shaped to the middle button as a 2 button cut. A button added above.
On Post 36 the second picture has no belly but looks like he is cutting a true 3 button there judging from the angle of the break line. Most all of the newer, modern 3 roll 2 pictures in this thread have no curve or belly on the edge. My guess is it’s tailors choice.
