It's not a 3 roll 2. It's just a 3 button jacket that is a bit tight in the torso
It's a typical savile row cut. Just not popular in the blogosphere at the moment

David Reeves should apologize to the Royal Guild of Savile Row tailors if such an organization exist. His cloths are a mess

once sent me a dead fish. I have gotten free stuff for review or just to wear, and if they were good enough, I probably would have no qualms recommending them, but they've never been good enough to recommend over better options.
re: NMWA and something MF mentioned
I like and respect gdl (as a poster and generally how he dresses). I'll get ties and squares from NMWA, though that's the extent of it. But he's done a pretty nice job building that business. I'm not speaking to the NMWA hype, but the way he's managed to build it and/or encourage it is impressive from a business standpoint. He's offering a variety of styles from a variety of places, and that's always a good thing. Again, not speaking of those blindly buying everything NMWA, but if you were gdl, would you tell them to stop or do what you can to keep up the frenzy?
I push* a lot of brands that I like on the Good Natured Advice Thread. I generally consider the balance of price vs quality when I do, and often people asking for rec's aren't looking to spend 1500 on a jacket (more like 5-600) or need to fill a lot of holes quickly (in which case, again, not looking for a 1500 jacket). And while NMWA has some nice jackets on sale around 800 sometimes, they rarely are the staples that I generally recommend.
In the last year or so, I've had three members, none affiliated with NMWA, ask me why I don't own any Formosa jackets (I don't recall if I've mentioned this here or just in conversation with Rambo). It's an unusual question. I think only one person didn't accept my answer (which was "they're very nice, but they don't really, really speak to me, and at that price, I have other options available" and to which he responded that I was crazy, they are amazing, and seriously, quit trying to be a hipster about shit and buy one I won't regret it).
* I've never received anything free from any of the brands that I regularly encourage others to buy. Though

What the hell is that button on the back of the tie?
Am I the only one finding somehting very odd in the angle or proporion of that gorge and lapel peak ?
Its more that he has such a baby face. Navy blue and a baby face is a bad combination. It accentuates the baby face.
