Your Thoughts on 3 Button Sleeves

[Superfluous]

What are your thoughts on 3 button sleeves on suits/sport coats.

They're fine.

How's the recovery from your injury going for you?

I hate Tony Romo. I don't know why I draft him every year.

I don't know which god of tailoring proclaimed four sleeve buttons to be the norm but I don't think it should be set in stone. All my suits and sports jackets are three butto fronts, and there's a nice symmetry if they also have three sleeve buttons but I don't sweat it if they don't. When I get round to going bespoke it will be three for me.

No regrets yet.

I don't think too many people would notice or care whether you have 3 or 4 (or 2 or 5 or none for that matter) buttons on your sleeves, so I would agree that 3 is fine.

FWIW (And I think not much) it was the Duke of Windsor who had only four button cuffs.

Four button sleeves on suit coats; three button sleeves on sports coats...unless they have a single button fastening in which case one button sleeve as well!

Better than 4 buttons for a sport coat, but not as good as 2 buttons or just one.

2-5 at most.

How about two on one sleeve, three on the other. I have a coat like this. It's badass. I get compliments all the time.

I think people actually would notice either 2 or 5, but 3 or 4 seem fine.

I threw up a little bit in my mouth.
