Your grandfather wore one. So did Cary Grant. And fifty years from now, the double-breasted jacket will still command a room. That kind of staying power demands quality that matches - fabrics that hold their structure, seams that survive decades, buttons that never loosen.

The classic double-breasted suits are experiencing a major comeback, appearing from red carpets to every boardroom. This article reveals why double-breasted suits are winning over fashion-forward men during this season.
The world of men's fashion is vast, but there are few combinations as timeless and versatile as the pairing of jackets and chinos. Whether you're heading to a business meeting or a casual brunch, this combination never fails to impress. Let's delve into the elegance and adaptability of this duo.
About Double Breasted Jackets:
A Tailored Double-Breasted Jacket is the perfect way to highlight your personality. It's classic and perfect for business occasions. If you are searching for a more casual version, you can design your own version and choose from different colors, fabrics, and extras.
What is a double-breasted jacket?
A double-breasted jacket has two parallel columns of buttons with overlapping front flaps, creating a wider, more structured chest. It typically features peak lapels and a six-button configuration (though four-button styles exist too). The silhouette is bolder and more authoritative than a single-breasted jacket, making it a favourite for men who want to stand out. At Hockerty, you can customise every aspect — from the number of buttons to the lapel width and fabric.
When should I wear a double-breasted jacket?
A double-breasted jacket works for more occasions than most people think. Pair it with matching trousers for formal events, or wear it with chinos or dark jeans for a smart-casual look. It is especially effective at business dinners, networking events, and weddings where you want presence without a full suit. The key is confidence — a well-fitted double-breasted jacket always commands attention.
Does a double-breasted jacket suit every body type?
Yes — when it fits properly. The overlapping front adds structure to the torso, which is especially flattering for slimmer builds. For broader men, choosing a slightly narrower lapel and fewer buttons keeps the proportions balanced. The beauty of a custom double-breasted jacket is that every dimension is tailored to your body, so it works regardless of your build. Hockerty's AI measurement system ensures the right fit from the start.
Should I button all the buttons on a double-breasted jacket?
Traditionally, you keep a double-breasted jacket buttoned when standing and may unbutton when sitting. On a six-button jacket, only the middle and bottom functioning buttons are fastened — the top pair is decorative. Some modern styles play with this convention, but the classic approach always looks sharp. When you design your jacket at Hockerty, you choose which buttons are functional versus decorative.
Can I customise the fabric and details of my double-breasted jacket?
Everything is customizable. Choose from 500+ fabrics — wool for year-round versatility, linen for summer, velvet for evening wear. Then personalise the lapel style and width, button configuration, pocket type, lining, and even add a monogram. The 3D configurator shows you a realistic preview before you order, so there are no surprises.
