What are your thoughts of three-button suits, blazers, and sports jackets? Most single-breasted suits nowadays are two-buttoned, but before around the 1970s, three-buttoned was very common, if perhaps not quite overtaking two-buttoned since the early 20th century.

3-roll-2 and 3-roll-2.5 are both classic and in-line with today's trends (at least among the well dressed). I still like full 3-button suits, but it's in general slightly dated look if you're just trying to blend in.

FWIW, 3-button was very comment in the late 90s/early 2000s as well.

Thank you for your comment. I find myself liking the look of Victorian Age through Edwardian Age three-button suits or jackets with odd trousers.

I prefer the ones with two buttons.Maybe it's just me but I don't like it when things are not organized in uneven numbers.

So you prefer three buttons?

What I meant was numbers like 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and numbers that are easily divided by 2.

What you said was "I don't like it when it's not uneven"

LOL, I'm not either of these posters, but it's a bit of a miscommunication with regards to semantics. No harm.

three-button jackets are fine as long as you button all 3, especially while sitting. makes for a very refined silhouette.

Why stop at 3 when you could have 10?

It was an obese British King that made it the standard to fashionably unbutton the bottom button, and eventually, it went from preference to custom.

I would say the main factor is dependant on your build. If you are slender or have muscle, the 3 button can make the chest area look a lot better and fitted. If you have a large stomach and are out of shape, the 2 button covers your fat gut better.

Yes, 2 button are what you'll see 9 out of 10 times but honestly, I think the 3 stands out more and it has a longer history so it's a talking point if you want to go there.

While technically it's rather formal but as most people associate 2 buttons with suits, I think the 3 can look casual and it's obviously derived from a military tunic.

Henry Cavill sometimes wears the 3 buttons.
