Double breasted jackets


Double breasted jackets are back again this winter. The intention of the double breasted jacket originally was to hide a fuller figure. However, now the cut is much has been brought right up to date. 

Now, its all about broad shoulders and slim cuts - highlighting the ideological masculine physique. Opt for a longer lapel line that extends into the waist. This will create height and a slimmer waist. This more contemporary cut paired with some traditional cloths - pinstripe, herringbone and houndstooth - will give your jacket that 'classics with a twist' look.


You’ll also be pleased to hear that you can revive your waistcoat from the depths of the wardrobe this season as we see more and more men in three-piece suits. Similarly with the double breasted jacket, in order to highlight a slim waist you want to have a waistcoat with a deep v-shape. However, for the style conscious individual, waistcoats with more than five buttons and a shorter v-shape are really big this season.
