HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)

Nope - just a ‘hard three’ button suit.
All mine are like that around 20 suits and around 20 odd jackets. The style comes and goes but was very much the trend in the sixties when FM’s suit was made.

Ah. I see the third button now.

Indeed. It's funny because when I had suits made for me the tailor was insistent that my height meant that a one-button jacket was best, but I think find that both the hard 3 and 3-roll-2 work for me if the cut is right. The other one I have of this vintage is a grey DB and both are cut without vents as was the style at the time. That shouldn't work either according to accepted wisdom, but it does!
