Square button on a sports-coat
Recently, I was watching Rush Hour 3. So, so movie. However, I was greatly impressed by Max von Sydow's wardrobe.
One scene in particular stayed with me. Max von Sydow is in a hotel room with the model/actress Noemie Lenoir's character. He has on a roll-neck and a well-cut SB sports-coat. I can't remember if it was 2 or 1 button. But the button was a square button. Nothing too in your face, but it was a nice touch.
Has anyone come across this before? What are your thoughts on a square button on a sports-coat (say in a POW check)?
Have a good day,
Bolaji

Re: Square button on a sports-coat
I would say the biggest question would be if Lenoir is in the room, what are you doing noticing buttons at all?

But to answer your question, and i havent seen the buttons, I wouldnt do it unless the suit is:
1. For casual situations or you work in a fashion forward industry.
2. You are a Bond villain.

Re: Square button on a sports-coat
Wouldn't it be potentially more difficult for a square button to pass through a buttonhole? I'm envisioning problems if the side of the button does not meet directly with the hole and a corner of the button causes a snag. Also, if the square butons on the cuff are not aligned, it might look a little sloppy.
