Weird Blazer Button Stance?
I'm looking at this blazer, but the button stance seems super weird and low to me. Am I crazy? (PS: it's 44L if that helps)

Button stances have risen as suits have gotten shorter and tighter. Lower button stances are better IMO as they prevent the dreaded "shirt triangle".
I'm not an expert on tailored clothing by any means but I think it's possible this jacket is meant to be an actual 3 button, rather than a 3 roll 2 as it's styled in the picture.
Also a 44l is gonna be pretty long so this might just be too long for the mannequin. You can ask them to take another picture without the hand in pocket and with the top button buttoned and see if it looks better.
Here's another photo showing the length. Looks like the middle button is about 12" up on a 32 1/2" long jacket
And a couple more 44Ls from the same seller
And here's me in a blazer I currently own that's 31in long. Button may be a tad high but I think it's close to the right spot
Ultimately I'm clearly past the point of analysis paralysis so if it's funny to my eye I'm not going to spring for it 😅 but I appreciate everyone trying to help me learn!
Good call, you will never run out of things to buy on eBay
