Many of these issues that we are already so accustomed that not even knowing the answers on them are not trying to get them. Because they are accustomed to such a position of things and consider them to say for themselves.
But another interesting feature of the jackets.
The main rule of wearing jackets with three buttons: "Sometimes, always, never" - sometimes fasten the upper buttons, always average, and never - lower. If the jacket has two buttons, then always fasten the top. The same rule is valid for vests: the lower button must remain estagued. This is an unshakable standard of male fashion (women are usually allowed to flash the lower buttons). Designers of men's costumes often even cover jackets and vests with such a calculation so that they look more successful with the estailed lower button.
It is impossible not to agree that this is a rather strange rule - why in general, to sew this button, if no one ever fastens?
Where did this tradition come from?
The answer goes back to the King Eduard VII, who suffered from a fair fullness. When Edward VII was still a prince Wales, and the jackets were just beginning to go into fashion, the vest became a narrow-to-the future king and he stopped glazing the lower button, so that the vest was better to England and British colonies also stopped glazed down the lower buttons.
The editor of the GQ magazine Robert Johnson believes that the "Theory of Eduard" is not always perceived seriously, but the historians of the British fashion consider it an indisputable fact. The truth is that the lower buttons of the vest and jacket Eduard did not fasten for various reasons. The jackets are arched from the bottom because they came to replace the surpets for riding.
The story of the "Theory of Eduard" is best understood by Sir Hardy Amis, English fashion designer, almost four decades who served as the personal tailor of Queen Elizabeth II. His fashionable house on Savvar Row is famous for its superbly stitched men's costumes, so Sir Amiis knows something about costumes, and about thin taste.

During speech, read in 1992 for the Royal Society for the Support of Arts, Production and Trade, he traced the history of the English male costume from 1670 to the present day. A modern one-breasted suit was first introduced in 1906 and usually talked about him as a jacket pair. His jacket was supplied with three buttons, but slightly different from modern - he was intended for everyday socks and had a free cut, so that his master looked more successful, holding the reins. Thus, the jacket pair began to gradually displace traditional sleeves for riding. And since Surtuka, the third button was above the waist line, then people in the jacket had to spread the lower buttons so that the clothes were sitting without folds when the owner is riding a horse.
Then Edward VII decided that the upper button should also be squatted to look more ordinary, and the jacket was held only on the middle button.
Leo knows what makes
When the jacket couple was widely widespread as casual wear, Edward VII continued to leave the lower button eclipped in memory of the sleeve for riding. Well, his vests are arched from below, because Eduard was very complete.

According to the Oxford Dictionary of the National Biography, Eduard famous for the legendary appetite and no less legendary interest in male fashion. According to Sir Amis, the tradition of spreading the lower buttons of the village we are also obliged to Eduard. He left the bottom buttons of the vest spread, because he suffered from excess weight, and the rest copied his style. This fashion was followed by the entire British Empire, but not an American continent. However, today to spread the lower button is considered the norm and in America. In the face of modern vests it is envisaged that the lower button will not be fastened.
Today, the jackets mostly have two buttons, although the version with three buttons is also found. In any case, follow the covenants of Eduard and leave the lowest from the button unlucky.
