Two or Three Button
Just a few comments: The fronts look a little shapeless and could use more waist suppression. The back doesn't look too bad in this regard. It looks like you have a low right shoulder and a low left hip, neither of which has been corrected for. The shoulder issue can be fixed either with... -
Thom Browne-Say It Ain't So!
While this news is being widely reported, FWIW, Browne himself denies it. -
Long term vest fit
No, it won't help your vests that are already too tight. I suggested it for future, larger vests. As I said already, there's no way to make your current vests larger except possibly with a whole new back. -
Hugh Jackman hosting the Oscars - Black / White Tie
Maybe, but I doubt it for one significant reason: white tie, more than any other form of dress is about rules. It's as close to a uniform as a civilian gets, and there is virtually no leeway regarding the details if one still wants to be correct. Modern individualists dress abominably in... -
how to make a bespoke Jacket (Darren Beaman)
Not necessarily. It may indicate that the jacket was bespoke, but bespoke makers often put their own labels inside jackets, anyway. More likely it was just removed by a previous owner at some point. -

Button placement on morning coat?
Looks good! I think the vintage standard, and what this would originally have been worn with, would be trousers with a much higher rise and a significantly shorter vest. The result is that less of the vest shows below the morning coat fronts, like so: Still your coat looks great, and... -
Long term vest fit
A dart is a tapered seam that is let into a piece of fabric to shape it. Your suit coat probably has them in front, running from the lower chest down to or through the pockets; your dress trousers probably have them in back above each pocket. The dart I mentioned is placed at the armhole... -
Long term vest fit
First, I wouldn't worry about a custom vest losing its fit, unless you lose your fitness. Neither wool (the front) nor rayon (the back) stretch much, and if your vest is tight enough you'd be more likely to rip the seams out than to have it lose its shape. Second, if you're buying a vest... -

A Package from Pasadena, or How to Get from Savile Row to Ames, Iowa in Only 13 Years
Are all four of the buttonholes on the sleeves working? Some Savile Row houses only cut through the lower two, for just this situation. The faux stitching on the upper two can be picked out, the sleeves lengthened, and one or two new buttonholes made in the proper location below. Even so, I... -
The Double Breasted Silhouette
That's exactly what I did with my brown DB pictured above. Well, mine was 4x1 and I had my tailor add another buttonhole, converting it to 4x2. Before: After: -
The Double Breasted Silhouette
Take a look at this photo of a single-breasted suit. The principle lines of emphasis are marked in red: the lapels and the single buttoning line along the front of the jacket. This is simple, and all the lines go basically in one direction. That's why many people say they're more flattering... -
Hugh Jackman hosting the Oscars - Black / White Tie
It's not so much a matter of what I think people should or should not wear, as much as a recognition of the state of things in the modern world. There is a consistent trend in menswear that has been in operation for two centuries or more. What is considered standard attire moves to the realm... -
Hugh Jackman hosting the Oscars - Black / White Tie
Not so much a joke as a costume. He demonstrated perfectly why white tie is, for all intents and purposes, dead as serious formalwear in the modern world. Don it, and everyone immediately knows you're going to do a song-'n-dance routine. It's sad, but it's true. Note that he wore black tie... -

Two or Three Button
You're right. It is SB. I posted not because it could shed light on the DB-vest aspect of the discussion, but because I think it is an example of a well-proportioned two-button jacket with peak lapels. -
Two or Three Button
Just personal preference. I'd say it looks better to button your jacket when you are not wearing a vest, though the vest gives you the option of leaving your jacket open. It's never wrong to button your jacket. -
Two or Three Button
I've always thought the proportions of this suit were just about perfect. You could raise the top button a little--an inch or so--but not too far.
