im assuming you want to change it back to 1 button, but how is this possible? isnt once you put the buttonholes up you already made slits into the cloth, how is it turned back into a one button without looking damaged?

I think the only way the 3/2 conversion will work for you is if they replace the patch pockets with smaller ones (Vox is right that they're too big relative to the jacket) and positioned slightly lower to accomodate the lower button. Assuming they have the cloth, this should be no problem.

Many of my tweed coats are one-button ... but then few people I know would insult me by suggesting that I'm anything less than odd.

Is there an update on this 1-2-3 conversion?

Foo done did it, according to his blog, which surprises me not a whit. Once one was done, all would be done.

We should demand pics.

One of these days, SF is going to get a "Should I...?" thread whose answer isn't a foregone conclusion, and it's going to blow people's minds.
