Wonderful video Hugo, your advice regarding the single button was especially informative. I had not really considered a single button outside formal wear, but as part of a three piece suit it seems very stylish and a logical choice. For my next three piece I will definitely go with peaked lapels and a single button.

This video actually shows everybody that you can wear a total different jacket / suit depending on one specific detail that will make a huge difference (something we would hardly notice) which is great. As far as I'm concerned, make the lapels wider has had an enormous impact. I couldn't believe the way I look with 2 more cm. Great video that explains lots of things ! Cheers.

Other jacket design options I learned about while doing research: - lapel style option: notched, peak, shawl ( like on tuxedos) - lapel width: slim, standard, wide - lapel pin button hole: working, decorative, none - ticket pocket: yes, no - ticket pocket style: flapped, piped - pocket style: none, straight or slanted, flapped or piped - sleeve button count: 0-4 - sleeve button holes: with or without - back vent: double/side, single/center, none - canvassing: none, fused, half, full - pick stitching: yes or no - breast pocket: none, patch, patch x 2 So, as one can see, and Hugo points out, there are many ways to customize even just the jacket.

I love your description of the 3-roll-2 jacket and why it exists.

Good evening Hugo and Sonya I hope you are both keeping safe and well, firstly may I just say it is always a pleasure to receive a notification for new content from your channel, secondly Hugo I must commend you on some absolutely stunning pieces/jackets and thirdly thank you so much to you both for your commitment to releasing such valuable content which in riches all of our lives, kind regards your friend Ryan..

Dear Brian, you probably have noticed we are now mixing different formats. I think it's the good balance for this channel. All my best, Hugo

A well cut, traditional, two button jacket will actually have a cutaway after the top button, so if you do try and button the bottom button it will pull the jacket out of shape and ruin the lines of the jacket. A jacket that is designed to have both or all three buttons closed is called a paddock jacket and the cutaway begins after the bottom button. Legend has it it first started when King Henry got too plump to button the bottom button of his riding jacket and left it unbuttoned and then everyone else followed suit (pun intended)

Brooks Brothers has used the three roll two. I pray we don’t go back to 1970s wide lapels and bell bottoms. Thank you for your perspective on these suits. Very informative and personal.

Hugo, I just discovered your channel and I'm amazed by your passion. I'm Italian and I share the same enthusiasm for fashion and style. Now that most workplaces are switching to casual wear it's becoming harder to leave the house without someone asking "Are you going to a wedding?". But I don't mind that, in fact I think that on the flipside we are also entering an era where, precisely because you don't have to just "dress for work", dressing well is becoming even more so than ever before, a form of expression. Not to "dress to impress", but because like you said, if you appreciate beautiful things in life dressing well can be just another aspect of that (although of course I'm not saying that if you dress casual you don't appreciate beautiful things!). Keep up the amazing work!

I think that 3 button jacket is kinda functional.. i live mostly in Canada, Montreal & also Southern Greece, Island of Crete.. many times in Autumn season temperature will be around 15 deg cel with not too much wind.. So usually i will wear a wool suit with a 3/4 long wool over-coat.. Brrrr so many times by late afternoon a very strong wind will start blowing & the temperature will drop another 5 deg.. So all the wind just blows down my chest & it just gets so cold, so to be able to have a 3rd button just to close the chest abit more i think is very functional..

With a MTM service in a company which offers only online orders, it's really hard to get good results the first time. I tried shirts from TailorStore, and the result was worse than off the rack shirts for the first 2 shirts produced (although I took my measurements several times to be sure with the help of another person; and that shirts aren't the hardest clothing item to produce with a good fit). Their customer service was great however, and they allowed me to re-order another shirt for free twice. But I think that fittings and measurement sessions in-store are definitely required to get a good fit with MTM services in a decent amount of tries (and time). The skills of a tailor cannot be replaced just with automatic computations based on a few home-made measurements!

I couldn't agree more for the tailors (as you know I'm a die-hard bespoke customer). However, some MTM salons have made tremendous progresses and are delivering very decent quality.
