With one exception these all appear to be suits.

Did it ever leave however?

 

[jamesny]

I think it never left. It's just more tailored and more fitted.

 

[951socal]

neil barrett, bottega venetta, and armani are not suits.

in addition the brands with sits pictured also presented sport jackets within the same show

Anything not navy or charcoal here is garbage.

Maybe the OP is talking about suit jackets and sport coats? I think three buttons did sort of disappear, its all been about 1 or two buttons for a while. Its just the fashion cycle its either 2 or 3 buttons, natural shoulders or structured shoulders, relaxed fit or slim fit. I have started doing 3 buttons a little more recently they look rather modern to my eyes now. I have been quite tempted to make myself up a 4 button suit actually.

IMO, the 3-button sports coat never left. Perhaps the designers are recently emphasizing it more, but it's a classic configuration. My go-to blazer is a 3-roll-2.

Since I'm tall and thin, I don't like the usual 3-button configuration much and 4-buttons would look silly on me. When I want to look fashion-forward, I wear a one-button jacket with peak lapels.

I have to see one person looking good in a 4 button suit...

maybe the music man...

are you making a suit for steve harvey?

 

[duggyald]

four button - from the neck down. now that's a sight!

 

[David Reeves]

Oh believe me I would make it look good. Thinking sort of Hardy Amies ultra mod looking.
Certainly thinking mohair, something like this but higher button stance slimmer lapels of course:

 

[Ianiceman]

That looks really nice as a hard three David but please no higher on the button stance or you'll look strangled. Open up the front quarters a bit and I always think slanted pocket flaps emphasize the hips and look feminine. Great colour and fabric.
