double-breasted jacket

Two-button-row coat

A double-breasted jacket has two parallel columns of buttons on the front, with one side of the fabric overlapping the other significantly before fastening.

This creates a broader, more formal silhouette than single-breasted styles: He wore a double-breasted jacket to the interview.

The design is traditional in suits and blazers, often associated with power dressing or vintage elegance.
