Double Breasted Suits

Our Mens Double breasted suits have a distinct set of characteristics that set them apart from the single-breasted style:

• The Overlapping Front: The most noticeable feature they have is the overlapping front flaps of the jacket. This creates a double layer of fabric across your chest.This is where the "double-breasted" name comes from.
• They Have Two Columns of Buttons: Because of the way the jacket crosses over in front, they have always had two parallel columns of buttons which help make them decorative. The number of buttons on the jacket can vary depending on the style. They usually have four, six, or eight buttons, but only one or two are actually functional for fastening. We have long known that the 6X2 button front suits are the most popular.
• They Emphasize the Waist: One of the benefits of wearing the style is the way the jacket is cut and buttoned naturally draws attention to your waist, helping you create a more defined and often more masculine silhouette. We have always felt that this can be particularly flattering for those with a broader build, as it helps you create a V-shape.
• The Jackets Have Peak Lapels (Usually): Most of our Double-breasted suits come with peak lapels. These wider, pointed lapels help enhance your shoulders and gives the suit a more formal and powerful look.
• They Give You More Formal Appearance: Due to their design and historical associations (they originated from military uniforms), the cross-over look generally will give you a more formal and sophisticated image than the single-breasted look.
• You Should Always Wear Them Buttoned: Unlike conventional style jackets, which can be worn open, you should always wear double-breasted jackets buttoned so the jacket maintains the proper drape and style. Otherwise they just look sloppy.

We Feel Wearing a double breasted suit allows you to stand out with style

I feel that one of biggest benfits that no one seems to talk about is that not many men wear double-breasted suits. Any engagement that you show up to will immediately let you stand out in the crowd because everyone else is wearing an ordinary single breasted suit. People are going to be wondering who you are and what you do for a living. Things that just wouldn't happen if you were just wearing a regular looking suit.

In essence, the unique features of wearing a double-breasted suit is to combine or create a look that is:

• They Are More Formal: They are great for wearing to important events like weddings and business events.
• The Jackets are More Structured: They Emphasize your physique with its defined silhouette.
• They are More Distinctive: They Help You Stand out from the more common single-breasted style.

These are the qualities that help make the double-breasted style suit a powerful and stylish choice for you when you want to project confidence and sophistication.
