A paddock model jacket is meant to be worn with both buttons buttoned; this is possible because they are in a different location than on a standard two-button suit.<br /><br />Somehow, I doubt the model in the picture you linked is wearing a paddock style jacket (the top button is too low, for one).Young Fogeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-32971057106867780432009-04-13T22:49:00.000-07:002009-04-13T22:49:00.000-07:00Diego,

I'm not a big fan of a "hard" 3 button, and have been known to press vintage three buttons into 3/2. I'm also fairly hard-lined on plain front pants, though I have been known to make exceptions.Giuseppehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11582043853388196139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-82155259613984170352009-04-13T22:27:00.000-07:002009-04-13T22:27:00.000-07:00Here's a question- I've noticed your suits and odd...Here's a question- I've noticed your suits and odd jackets to be 2 button or 3/2.

I'm not sure it's the best thing for a wedding, though you will probably look better than just about anyone else there. <BR/><BR/>Unlike you, I do not have fabulous thrift stores to cater to my sartorial desires, and what little I find almost never fits. The best I've found so far is a $10 blue-on-blue tiny houndstooth odd jacket. Pros: cheap; made in England; great colors for me. Cons: stained (removed by the cleaners); broken buttons (easily replaced); needs serious alterations (but fits in the shoulders).<BR/><BR/>Still, I manage to get bargains: last week, I bought a $550 suit that had been marked down 50%, then another %50. With a $10-off coupon, it cost $138 (including tax). Not bad for a brand-new designer (Joseph Abboud) suit. Next task: scrape together the dough for alterations (the clerk recommended against their in-store service).<BR/><BR/>Now: <I>please</I> show us the necktie--it sounds great!Young Fogeynoreply@blogger.com
