I think it's the buttoning point. Very short lapels, almost three-button suit versions.High buttoning point or model who is too tall for the clothes???

I am not sure that there is such a thing as a correct buttoning point. It's more a matter of what looks good. The first jacket is too tight and we can only see the top of it. The third jacket is too short and thus the buttoning point looks very high. I think the second picture looks good, though. The buttoning point is definitely higher than you normally see in these parts, but I don't think the jacket looks worse for it.Here are some Brioni pics that illustrate the buttoning point being a bit too high:

My own inclination is to have the buttoning point on a single-breasted jacket be precisely at my natural waist. For someone with a natural slimness/v-shape this actually creates a good line for the lapel, since that is also where there will be the most waist suppression.I am not sure that there is such a thing as a correct buttoning point.

Only by an inch or so. It's not terrible.Yikes, that is a bad example, but don’t know if you are joking.
I just grabbed the first picture I could find - anyone with Google can find another. The point is that moving the buttons down several inches makes for a much better line of the lapel and a stronger chest.Yikes, that is a bad example, but don’t know if you are joking.
This is most excellent news"Tariffs will also be lifted on UK cheese, cashmere and machinery.
The duties will be suspended for four months while the two sides seek a long-term settlement."

That's the only pocket square I really ever wear.1) I am excited to ruin another thread
2) I've found the last like five months that a linen square is the way to go. Something about how strongly it pops makes it the best to me, and I usually hate white/black things.
