Hello, I’d like to start off by saying that I enjoy your blog a whole lot. That being said, can all three button single-breasted jackets be worn as a 3-2 roll or is that only an option for some? Thank you.

Thanks. Not all 3-button jackets are meant to be 3/2 rolled. Lots of those suits you see sportscasters wearing are meant to be buttoned at the top — frankly, I think they look bad.

You might be able to have a jacket like that re-rolled/pressed into a 3/2 roll, but I’ve never tried or had someone try it for me. I just avoid wearing and buying such jackets.
