What? Buzz, overhyped, backlash...?

I think Marinella have been in overhype/backlash for some time.

This is a wiki thread on iGent MC hype cycle and I am merely one contributor here. Everyone's view of the cycle is different as evidenced by the various opinions expressed above.

That said, I'd note that SF Frontpage is clearly passed its hype peak with only 1 viewer for the forum at this particular moment in time.

Hypish going down to backlash.

Wait, for a true three? I don't recall seeing any love here for a 3 roll 3. Have I missed a big fad?

I have misread the question...I thought "3 Piece suit" instead of "3 button suit"...

They're backlash of the backlash of the backlash...They have never recovered from the nineties..

That will look better with the top button undone. It does not appear to be a true three.

Even if it were a true three, I would not worry about it. A true three can look good when properly proportioned, regardless of what SF would have you believe.

I have one of those RC suits, al-dej. It looks great. It might be my favorite suit. It's really closer to a 2.5 when you have it on. (Who knows, maybe we'll be ahead of the next hype curve).

I am fine with it even if it is a true 3 button. I am not that influenced by SF groupthink.

Its just that I thought that a true 3 button is supposed to be a classic design. To be frank I didnt even know what a 3 roll 2 or 3 roll 2.5 was before I joined SF. I thought there were 2 button, 3 buttons SBs and 6 x 2 DBs.
