Just wanted to say that I think Bertie would only ever wear a 6 button 4 pocket single breasted waistcoat. I respect your choice but the more I get into vintage 3 piece suits the more I won't wear a modern 5 button 2 pocket waistcoat. Cheers, Peter Hello,

I have them on one tweed odd jacket, and the tweed is so heavy that the working buttons just seem to add even a bit more bulk to the sleeve. Not much, but more than I wanted to pay an extra $50 for. :-) The only pocket I really left out was the ticket pocket, and most of my jackets have them too. The only reason I left it out was because the suit I'm cribbing from doesn't have them. I made a few choices like that, things that I really prefer that I didn't do on this one. I was going to add a monogram to the inside of the jacket until Jeeves talked me out of it, he said that monograms are for gentlemen who are prone to forgetting their own names. He totally agrees with me about the Thurston braces and the madder ties though. Part of what I'm really trying to show people is that if you see a look that you like a great deal it's not that hard to replicate it.

But then, I rarely carry anything in them because I don't want to ruin the lines. I do hope that you check in with Jeeves on this; Bertie was known to have a few off-beat choices.
