Which One Is Right For You? Single or Double-Breasted Suit

Which One Is Right For You? Single or Double-Breasted Suit

Start With the Foundation: Function, Fit, & Flair

When designing your custom jacket, the number of buttons is more than just a detail—it’s the foundation

Single-Breasted Standard

Effortless. Versatile. Timeless.

Single-breasted jackets are a modern classic—universally flattering and endlessly wearable. Whether you’re heading to a business meeting or a cocktail event, this is the jacket that adapts to your lifestyle.

• Two-Button
  Our most popular style—more than 80% of our clients opt for this one. The balanced cut suits nearly every build and occasion.
• One-Button
  Sleek and slightly more formal, with a deeper button stance that elongates the torso. Perfect for shorter frames or black-tie-inspired looks.

Three-Button (3-Roll-2)
A subtle nod to traditional menswear. The lapel gently rolls over the top button, delivering a touch of vintage charm for those who appreciate heritage tailoring.

Bottom Line:
If you’re building your first custom jacket, or need a go-to for daily wear, a single-breasted style is the foundation of a well-dressed wardrobe.

The Double-Breasted Statement

Sharp. Structured. Unapologetically Bold.

Double-breasted jackets speak volumes without saying a word. With strong shoulders, defined lines, and unmistakable presence, this silhouette is for those who live—and dress—with intention.

6×2 Configuration
The classic six-button layout with two fastens. Think powerful, polished, and perfectly traditional.

4×2 Configuration
It’s a cleaner, contemporary take. No top-row “nipple buttons,” just sleek sophistication and the same signature wrap.

Best For:
The style-conscious client who loves tailoring and isn’t afraid to turn heads. It’s a bolder choice, but when it’s cut to your frame—it’s a showstopper.

Which One is Right for You?

• Looking for flexibility? Go with a two-button single-breasted.
• Want a minimalist formal edge or need to visually lengthen the torso? Try a one-button.
• Ready to level up your look with confidence and structure? Double-breasted is your move.
