Choose your suit
You already chose how many buttons you want for your suit jacket but there are still many other options available to design a unique suit. The lapels become less important as they are shorter on a 3 button suit.
The 3-button suit, refined and worn well
The third button changes everything. See how our customers wear this classic silhouette—for board meetings that demand authority, ceremonies that call for tradition, or simply because they prefer the longer lapel line that two buttons can't offer.

While fashion chases the next trend, the 3-button suit stays where it's always been—in boardrooms, courtrooms, and any room where authority matters. This isn't about being fashionable. It's about being unmistakable.

What is the 3-button suit rule?
The classic 3-button suit follows the "sometimes, always, never" rule from top to bottom. The top button is optional, the middle button should always be fastened, and the bottom button stays open. This rule ensures optimal movement and an elegant drape.
Is it OK to wear a 3-button suit today?
Absolutely. While 2-button suits are more common, the 3-button style is experiencing a revival. It offers a classic, sophisticated look perfect for conservative business environments and formal occasions. Choose a modern slim fit for contemporary appeal.
When should you wear a 3-button suit?
A 3-button suit works best for formal business settings, traditional industries, and ceremonial occasions. It's particularly flattering for taller men as it creates balanced proportions. For modern events, ensure the cut is contemporary rather than boxy.
What buttons do you button on a 3-button suit?
Follow the "sometimes, always, never" guideline: top button optional (sometimes), middle button always fastened (always), bottom button never closed (never). When sitting, unbutton all buttons for comfort. This etiquette applies to all well-fitted suits.
Can I customise my 3-button suit at Hockerty?
Yes. At Hockerty, you design every detail: lapels, pockets, lining, and button style. Choose from over 150 premium fabrics. Our AI-powered measurement system ensures your custom 3-button suit fits perfectly and flatters your frame.
