Double-Breasted Suits for Men
A well-tailored suit remains the defining element of a truly complete wardrobe.
Double-breasted Suits
The double-breasted suit is a deliberate, authoritative choice. Unlike its single-breasted counterpart, it is engineered for immediate command, providing a distinct, structured silhouette that defines professional intent. This is the suit for moments when subtle confidence must transition to undeniable presence.
Our high end precision tailoring ensures the double-breasted structure maintains its sharp, modern profile without becoming bulky or dated. The signature wide lapels, typically peaked, balance the six-on-two button stance, creating an optimal V-shape that broadens the chest and slims the waist. The fit is contemporary, moving beyond traditional, boxy silhouettes to deliver accessible luxury that performs in high-stakes environments.
We craft our double-breasted suits exclusively from premium Italian fabrics, sourcing resilient and finely-milled wools from heritage partners like Vitale Barberis Canonico. This commitment to world-class material ensures the suit maintains its structure and drape for lasting wear, a vital consideration for the discerning professional seeking investment-grade tailoring.
While inherently formal, the modern double-breasted suit is highly versatile. It transitions seamlessly from a critical boardroom meeting to an evening event. For a relaxed, confident look, consider unfastening the interior button and leaving the jacket open, allowing the construction to speak for itself. It remains an unmistakable symbol of sartorial confidence.
Double-breasted Suits FAQ
How should a double-breasted suit jacket be buttoned?
The rule is straightforward: button the top button of the two functioning buttons. The bottom button of the two functioning buttons is typically left undone for optimal fit and movement. The interior jigger button must always be secured to maintain the jacket's structural integrity and clean line across the chest.
Is a double-breasted suit still considered modern?
Yes. The modern double-breasted suit has been refined, moving away from the loose, exaggerated styles of the past. Our high end tailoring introduces a sharper, closer fit and a slightly shorter jacket length. This contemporary engineering provides the authoritative structure of the classic style but with a confident profile suited for today's professional landscape.
What is the benefit of premium Italian wool in a double-breasted suit?
The core benefit is resilience and drape. The double-breasted design requires a fabric with integrity to hold the lapel roll and maintain the jacket's structure through the torso. Superior Italian wool, such as those milled by our partners, provides the necessary density and recovery properties to ensure the suit looks sharp and commanding throughout a demanding day.
