I remember a few months back there was a thread with fairly detailed instructions where some member showed how he took a steamer and turned a 3 button jacket into a 3-r-2. I can't seem to find it anywhere. Does anyone remember this thread or the original poster? I wanted to try it out with a few older SCs I had.

Just turn the steam on high and steam the crap out of it. What have you got to lose? There is no right or wrong way. Come on man, give it the steam!! I don't know why they make 3 button fronts anyway. Nobody wants it.

I think that was the one warning against steaming a lapel into 3/2.
