damn, you have to have a torso like a frickin' centipede to wear that thing. I'm sure it's great if 2 kids want to stand on top of each other to sneak into a club

It's funny because with that bulge in the stomach area, it does look like two kids standing on top of one another.

Someone asked me if three buttons were coming back?

A: They are if I say they are.

Whilst I strongly prefer 2 button suits, I have a very nice 2.5 button suit that I adore. High cut 3 buttons are out of style; balance 3 and 2.5 button suits look normal to me

I'm very much a fan of it, it stands out from all the two buttons. Here's my 3 button jacket by Louis Copeland.
