Booth only wears blue sportcoats with matching pants
I own way more grey than I do blue and I wouldn't ever wear a sport coat with matching trousers. I may be much more austere than most, but I do have certain standards.

To be fair I just inquired about it, but I stand by that I would never get a 3 cuff button anything. I don't think it looks good. I am sure other's agree.


Just like my heart. Vox requested to see it via Twitter:

Why do you assume I don't already have one?

I get SCs with 4 buttons and then unbutton them to various configurations, so that at any given time, it appears I have either 4 buttons, 3, or 2...

Domenico Caraceni used to put 3 buttons (as the Roman Caraceni still do), most florentines put also 3. I like 3 in sportcoats and 4 in suits save for Neapolitan informal suits or jackets where I put 1.

I just assumed all girls were the same. Since my ex would've broken up with me sooner if I showed up to the beach in a suit I assumed the same for you. Hence the statement about us finding you a drink and a babe, preferably all in the same night.

I just realized I have a Steed suit with three buttons on the sleeve. I have no idea why I asked for it.
