And it’s the hotness.

Many punches have been thrown in the 2-Button vs. 3-Button jacket debate, and while there will probably never be a clear winner, we would like to throw our weight behind the 2-button camp. Our argument emphasizes the visual lines created by the cut of the jacket instead of any stylistic of fashionisitic differences. Sticking to classic, flattering lines is always appropriate, and the deeper V created by the 2-button cut beats the boxy 3-button any day. And in honor of football season, we’re using telestrator technology to teach.
