PC Waistcoat Options: 3 vs 5 Button

[BCAC]

Macmillan,
thanks for the reply. I've been tossing this idea around as well and really like this option.
Does anyone else agree? If I can get more use out of the Argyle, I sure would like to!
I've been thinking that a PC would be a bit too formal for times when I'm at a wedding or non-black-tie-event.

What say you Rabble?

I agree. Excellent idea.

Hi Paul,

I agree that the barathea Argyll with two waistcoats is a great way to get flexibility without the expense of buying everything at once. You can then get a PC or a doublet at a later date if you so desire.

In my view, the PC is evening wear only, and should really only be worn with a 3 button waistcoat.

As an aside, I think the gauntlet cuffs of the Argyll make it a shade dressier than the Braemar or Crail variants.
