What style of suit do you prefer?

[BennyVega]

Just curious.

 

[Prince]

Classic for me. Two button.

 

[commanderkeen]

3-button-SB because I'm tall and it works for me.

 

[JoshuaNY]

My first couple of suits were 3 button. But when I was in the market for a new one this past year I tried on a 2 button and a 3 button one day and the 2 made me look a few inches taller and a bit thinner then the 3. So that is what I wear now.

I love the look of DB, just not sure I could rock it.

 

[ackvil]

I prefer two buttons, also. At one time I had a few DB suits but they never felt comfortable to me.

 

[Agravic]

2-button SB - classic, versatile, timeless.

 

[Obiwan]

2 button, SB, side vent for me.

 

[mboschm]

3B SB, but by a really small margin over the 2B.

 

[gegarrenton]

I actually have mostly 2B, but I really prefer 3B. Weird.

 

[Niles]

Two button.

I liked double-breasted sport coats when I was in HS and college, because I had the build to pull it off. Now that I am much heavier, not so much. Two-button single for me.

 

[Predict]

2 button single breasted. I absolutely hate double breasted suits. I don't know why.

 

[Bob the aged Lurcher]

Three button, three piece suit

 

[BennyVega]

2 button single breasted. I absolutely hate double breasted suits. I don't know why.

Are you on the heavier side? DBs don't look good at all on heavier men.

I like 3-button single-breasted suits w/ vests.

I prefer 2, but own a couple of 1 button SB suits. No double breasted though, maybe it's time for a change.

 

[BennyVega]

I'm the only one here who prefers double breasted suits? Wow.

 

[jb4647]

3 button side vents and narrow lapels. I like the top button to be barely visible as it rolls into the lapel. Black or Navy...no pinstripes.

Here's my question. What's the deal with the latest style of making the jacket short?? A man's suit coat should be the length of being able to curl your fingers with his arms at his sides.

I know it's supposed to be the "Mad Men" look but I've seen countless movies/TV and photos from that era and men's jackets were not that short.

 

[joshuastar]

two-button, three piece.

I used to wear double-breasted suits, but then the 80s ended.
