double-breasted coat

Two-row button jacket

A double-breasted coat has two parallel columns of buttons on the front, with one side overlapping the other to fasten.

This style provides extra warmth and a more formal, structured silhouette than single-breasted coats: He wore a double-breasted coat with peaked lapels.

The design appears in overcoats, peacoats, and suit jackets.
