http://www.reissonline.com/shop/mens...le/romeo/navy/ hello i just picked up this suit on sale at a ridiculously good price. is it the general opinion, though, that only a SC should be four button? do you think it could be worn without a tie, or do dbs look stupid like that? thanks for the input

I think many people prefer the 6x2 layout. However, I think this suit looks sharp. I would wear it.

That is an excellent take on a DB suit. I personally prefer the 6x2 style buttons without the two chest buttons, so just 4 waist buttons.

That's an odd-looking set up. Almost like a 6x2 but missing the bottom pair of buttons. Then everything else shifted down.

It's really not an unusual setup, though the stance is low. For what it's worth I prefer this pattern, I think it looks sleeker than a six button.

Prefer the 6X2 but I like it...

A bit fashion forward for my liking but still very wearable.
