Too many buttons up near your neck.

Suit, shirt and p/square: Herringbone Tie: Saks Fifth Ave Socks: Brooks Brothers Shoes: Herring Reading
Suit is charcoal, I suppose? Quite good! It's almost too basic to call it inspired by PG, but if it is, well done. I agree that the shoes might be a bit too light, a dark brown would have been perfect. Understated, but very well done.

If your lapels can be fixed, it might be a good idea to fix them. Just my 0.02, not trying to be an asshole or anything. Your colour combinations are nice.
I do appreciate your comments - I see now you're clearly trying to be constructive. Perhaps my jacket is not a true 3 roll 2.5... but it most certainly looks odd when the top button is done so I don't think it's a 3 roll 3 either. Let's settle and create a new term: 3 roll 2.75 or to be precise 2.74635049

Did not know converting them somewhat was an option. Will look into that.

Another resurrection...

But isn't the middle button the only button to be buttoned in a true 3 button?

No - you can button the top button as well.

That's why the guidance for buttoning from top to bottom button goes: sometimes, always, never

The sweater is a very dark green, in case it isn't showing up like that. Hey Oregetrix, can you tell me about your camel sportcoat? Is that J. Press?

Still very cold in NOLA. 25 degrees this morning...that is an arctic blast down here!

Have a good one!

Technically speaking, a 3R3 will have all buttonholes (including, of course, the top one) finished on the outside of the jacket. For a 3R2.5 or a 3R2 the top button hole is finished on the inside of the jacket as the role never intends it to be visible from the outside.
