Why would you buy a jacket with odd lapels in the first place? Or a three button jacket and try and put a 3/2 in it anyway?

I can only speak for myself, but I dig the jacket as a three-button and was only trying it out to see how it'd roll. I have a steamer in my closet and could just as easily set it back so it's no big deal. A button can easily be popped off and sewn back on the opposite side if it had worked out, so that's kind of a silly point. It's a great jacket as is, but would have been perfect rolled to the 2nd button. It's a low enough stance so I've decided to steam it back into place and keep it as is though.

WM what belt do you have on btw, is it vintage? I'm after a thin brown leather belt myself.

Just to chip in on this one.

My jacket has just through this transition....... WITHOUT my knowledge!

Today I have fallen victim to a clueless Spanish drycleaner who has pressed out my lovely 3/2 roll on my HB tweed jacket.

Surely someone who prides themselves on being a 'professional' must've come across a 3/2 jacket in the past?

You win some, you lose some?........ I can't stop losing!

Looks better done up to the 3rd in my opinion, Japanese style!

Shirt looks well mate, I've got to take mine to the tailor to be made into a short sleeved job for the summer. Finishes about 4 inches above my wrist. Wicked cloth.

On Henry they mostly look like that, too... But I can see what Sammy means - sometimes a BD collar that's too tight gives a similar impression. I must admit that I am myself not extremely picky about that, I would wear it with a tie, too - but I also like that classic BB collar roll with a tie better. I think Henry's shirts look best without a tie anyway. Or probably with a tie, but with the top button undone, in a "Moose" kinda way. But that's just personal preference. Unfortunately I am outta money at the moment... Hm. The day will come...

Very casual today...

Lands' End Super T (with breast pocket) light grey
Lands' End Durable Goods Sweatshirt (shortened by the alterations tailor as sleeves and overall length were really long, rest fits very nicely) light grey, too
Lands End woven belt burnt orange
Lands' End navy chinos (traditional fit, slightly tapered), no break
Sebago Fairhaven boots brown suede with Timberland / Red Wing-esque laces (yellow/red)
Lyle & Scott "Vintage" unlined Hooded Parka Surf Blue (preppy fashion stuff but it was cheap and looks better than I thought on me so I gave it a try)
