This 3 button looks like a very high stance, with the bottom unbuttoned. http://www.josbank.com/menswear/shop...1_10050_100225

Looks fairly standard to me.

The buttons are almost where the top two buttons on a 3-button jacket should be. It would look okay if the jacket were cut for both to fasten.Originally Posted by Matt S
Makes me wonder... Is it possible to take a 2 button and change it to a 2 roll 1 after the fact?

If the bottom button is high enough and the suit has a soft construction it will work. The Duke of Windsor has his 2-button single-breasted jackets cut for both buttons to fasten, and as he got older he stopped buttoning the top button. And it worked because the jackets had a soft construction.

Would you, gents, share your thoughts w/ me on this buttoning stance? Sorry for the poor pic quality. It was about 5:00 a.m. and... you know.

Thank you, gents. My next blazer must have a higher buttoning point, though. Would you risk some comment about the waist?

I just believe it is a bit low. Despite this another (link bellow) is a three button, the buttoning point seems higher, which let my waist more marked (I guess).

Any higher and you risk looking as bad as the jacket that started the discussion. It could go an inch lower and still look find. The button stance looks the same on your 2-button and 3-button blazers, though it looks like the top button on the 3-button blazer would look best unbuttoned. It's pulling too much, which suggests it wasn't meant to be fastened.

That suit is untouched. It arrived, unworn and NOS. All I did was have the pants hemmed. That waist is how it came. Further, that is not a sack and it is not intended to look like a traditional sack. It is darted, it has quite constructed shoulders, very open quarters and it has flapless pockets. It is antisack. MikeOriginally Posted by MBreinin
