Not my blazers or pics. What do you think? Not noticed one with 8 buttons before. Is the beige one a blazer or an orpaned suit jacket?

Looks like you have to be Day-Lewis thin and at least 6'2" to pull that off, respectably.

8x3 means 8 buttons with the highest fastening button 3 from the bottom.
