4 Button Suit


WARNING: NOT FOR "iGENTS" or the meek at heart. 4 button suit, very high button position with angled pockets and overlapping ticket pocket. This style is the quintessential "mod suit" made popular in the mid 1960s and saw a resurgence in the mid 1990s as a "high designer" staple cut. The 2 button suit may be en vogue and de rigeur in the 2000s, but the 4 button suit will definitely set you apart as someone with "suss". Seen here accessorized with Nick Hart-Aquascutum penny collar buttondown shirt.

This suit is currently available as MTO and there are certain details that the suit comes with that are NOT customizable:
-2" notch lapels
-angled pockets w/overlapping ticket pocket
-very high button position
