How To Button A Suit Jacket Properly | Two-Button, Double-Breasted, Three-Roll-Two
About this video
Sacawa explains the correct buttoning techniques for the three most common suit jacket styles: two-button, two-and-a-half button (three-roll-two), and double-breasted jackets. He details which buttons to fasten for each style to achieve the proper fit and appearance.
Key takeaways
- Sacawa argues that for two-button jackets, only the top button should be fastened, never just the bottom or both buttons together
- Sacawa recommends buttoning only the middle button on two-and-a-half button jackets, though the top button may also be fastened in cold weather for extra coverage
- Sacawa emphasizes that double-breasted jackets have a hidden inner anchor button that must be fastened to maintain proper jacket structure, with the top outer button being his preferred choice for the visible buttons
