That's the wonderful thing about bespoke. It's like Burger King: have it your way.I only have one sportcoat and I have two buttons on the cuff. Three is weird.

That's weird, not bad.

I think you need a drink, you seem stiff.
Actually a 24 hour Burger King just opened by my home. That's very bad for bespoke!

jcm isn't easy to fit. Having been at the fittings for and seen the jackets in person, I think that he and Edwin have landed on an optimal length for him without messing up other things. Those are MTM, and I believe the pocket placement is part of the pattern that can't be changed. Even so, I'd worry that placing them lower would throw off the visual balance by making the top look too long. Someone photoshop it! I need red lines.The only thing that I would change about those above jackets is that they look short to my eye. I would lengthen them and drop the pockets to be even with the lowest button.
Also, why do they only have three buttons on the cuffs? Is that something that was requested?

It is interesting my parent's neighbor who is an Italian tailor in NYC (who oddly is never mentioned on here) puts five buttons on suit jackets. I am not sure if it is a Tom Ford inspiration, but I find that distracting.
Interesting, I never noticed it on a blazer in the wild.
Brooks Brothers used to do two during the heydays of Ivy Style, although I don't know if they still carry on that tradition.
