Attractive Double Breasted Men's Suits

In clothing, Double breasted men's suits refer to a coat or jacket or similar garment having a very wide overlap in the front and, usually, two parallel columns of 2 buttons suit or snaps. (By contrast a single-breasted coat has a narrower overlap and one column of buttons.) Almost, some of the men suits are decorated with one column of buttons. Only those at the outer edge of the overlap actually fasten the two layers together. The others, placed on the outside of the outer layer, either serve no purpose or allow the overlap to be reversible. Business suit, wedding suits, fashion suits, Pea coats and some trench coats are traditionally double-breasted.

Double breasted suit coats are almost always kept buttoned. When there is more than one to fasten (as in a traditional six-on-two arrangement), only the top one need be fastened; in some configurations, the wearer may elect to fasten only the bottom button, in order to present a longer line.
