Re: The particular sack suit button stance.
The jacket Fitzgerald is wearing isnt the same, the top button comes in under the breast pocket by about the distance the brooks one is over it

Not to my eye. Closer spacing than the brooks example for sure.

Re: The particular sack suit button stance.
They're close too they just starting higher???
I agree the spacing on the first jacket is mental but the other ones you've posted aren't really the same. I know a three button hacking jacket would traditionally allow for close high button stance for riding a horse I wonder if the use away from equestrian pursuits allowed for less practical design. But thats just me guessing

Re: The particular sack suit button stance.
Sorry ive just seen the date of the first one if that Brooks is late sixties then your probably getting that longer Cardin silhouette coming into fashion youll see a lot of jackets giving a much morw tubular look. Although im not sure he ever had spacing like that his jackets certainly gave a similar long edwardian look

Re: The particular sack suit button stance.
I've seen the "above-breast-pocket" stance on brooks suits and jackets from the very late 1960s-early 1970s.

Re: The particular sack suit button stance.
Is that a slightly flared sleeve too?
