I bought a used sport coat online on a whim a few months ago because I liked the fabric pattern and because it was so inexpensive. It was a Barney’s store brand. It doesn’t have a vent, which I thought was odd. It must be a the jacket of a suit. The jacket says it was made in Italy, which may explain why there is no vent. Thanks for the info.
Sorry, I disagree with your observation that the single vent being the most popular style jacket. I'm from Southern California. Ninety-five+ percent of suits and jackets in the stores are double vented. It's rare to find a single vent and impossible to find a no vent jacket. I now live in Spain and, so far, 100% of suits and jackets are double vented. Sorry, I also disagree with you on big or portly men should consider wearing double vented jackets. Look closer, double vented jackets make your butt stick out and draw attention to an overweight build. Single vent breaks that big butt look. And no vent is very slimming. Just check out the movies of the 1930s to 1960s. You'll notice suits and jackets were mostly single or no vent jackets. The double vented jacket looks very good on a tall slim build. I wore the double vented jacket when I was in my 20s. That was in the 1980s and it was difficult to find double vented jackets back then. And now I desperately look for non-vented jackets. I have a great navy sport coat that is non-vented, and I get many compliments when I wear it to dinner parties or about the town. Just my thoughts, thank you for an interesting video.
I understand that in some places, the double vent is more popular. However, worldwide the single vent suit is sold and worn more often than double and no vents. Almost 20 to 1. That is not an observation. It’s a fact. The fit info that I provided in the video was also not my observation. It’s info that I’ve learned over many years of talking with suit makers, tailors, and studying men’s fashion. It’s the standard, but not absolute. With fashion, there are always things that break the norm, always ways to break the rules and look awesome doing so. It sounds like you’ve done that nicely.
Absolutely. Thinner people look good in a 3 button. Some athletic men. And then talk people who don’t like the 2 button. I’m tall but I prefer the two button.
The side with the vent has extra fabric. For it to look perfect, they'd have to match the fabric and replace the whole back panel with the vent added. IF they add just the vent fabric, the seam will show on the outside and it'll look awful. I'm currently modifying a suit pattern to add vents.
I like the double side vents. It looks nice in my opinion.

Thanks for the information sir!!!
My pleasure!
Double vent all the way.
Absolutely!
Are 3 button suits or sports jackets still in style?
Absolutely. Thinner people look good in a 3 button. Some athletic men. And then talk people who don’t like the 2 button.
I’m tall but I prefer the two button.

Will you be making a review on Indochino suits?
I did, 2 years ago. Was one of my first videos.
I have ventless Italian style suit but can I make it double/single vent??
Unlikely. And those who can do it will likely be expensive.
The side with the vent has extra fabric. For it to look perfect, they'd have to match the fabric and replace the whole back panel with the vent added. IF they add just the vent fabric, the seam will show on the outside and it'll look awful.
I'm currently modifying a suit pattern to add vents.
Can we add vent to no vent suit
Kirk Lazarus, quit trolling and watch the video. It’s in the video, just not on the thumbnail.
If it's the suit pattern before you cut the fabric and sew it, yes.
