What makes this double-breasted suit different
A peak lapel built for a double-breasted jacket
The 4.25 inch peak lapel points up toward the shoulder, which draws the eye outward and makes the chest look broader. It is the classic lapel for a double-breasted jacket and gives the suit a confident, formal line.
Super 150s wool from Italy
Super 150s is a fine worsted wool with a smooth, soft hand. At 270 gm it has enough body to hold the shape of a structured double-breasted jacket while still feeling comfortable through most of the year.
Half-canvassed, not glued
A floating canvas runs through the chest and lapels, so the jacket keeps its shape, the lapels roll naturally and the front moulds to you the more you wear it.
Bemberg lining and side vents
The navy Bemberg lining breathes better than polyester and lets the jacket slide on easily. Side vents keep the back clean when you sit down or reach into your trouser pockets.
How to wear a blue double-breasted suit
Keep the jacket buttoned when you stand; a double-breasted jacket is cut to be worn closed. For weddings and evening events, pair it with a white shirt, a burgundy or navy tie and black leather shoes. For business, a light blue or white shirt with a dark tie keeps it sharp without being loud. The trousers also work on their own with a knit or an open-collar shirt.
Order your size
Standard size. Choose your jacket size (36 to 52), your length (Short, Regular or Long) and your trouser waist and inseam.
My measurements. Enter your chest, stomach, seat, shoulder, jacket length, sleeve, trouser waist and inseam, with your height and weight.
My favourite suit. Lay a suit that fits you well flat, measure it, and we copy those numbers.
Every measurement has a picture guide in our suit size guide. See the full custom suits collection, add a custom dress shirt, or compare this jacket with our single-breasted royal blue Italian wool suit and navy Italian wool suit.
Frequently asked questions
How many buttons do you fasten on a six-button double-breasted suit?
On a six-button double-breasted jacket you normally fasten the middle button, along with the inside anchor button. The top pair is decorative, and fastening the bottom button is optional.
Is a double-breasted suit good for a wedding?
Yes. A blue double-breasted suit with a peak lapel is a strong choice for a groom, a groomsman or a guest. It looks more formal than a single-breasted suit and photographs well.
Does a double-breasted suit suit every body type?
It works for most men when the fit is right. Because this suit is made to your size or measurements, the chest and waist are cut for you, so the jacket sits close without pulling.
What is a Super 150s wool suit?
Super 150s describes how fine the wool fibres are. A higher number means finer fibres, which gives a softer, smoother cloth with a refined drape.
What is included?
A two-piece suit: the double-breasted jacket and matching trousers in the same blue Super 150s wool.
How long does it take to make and deliver?
Your suit is made in 10 to 12 working days, or 3 to 5 working days with urgent stitching on request. Shipping is free worldwide and tracked: delivery after dispatch takes 8 to 10 working days to the USA, UK, Canada and Europe.
How do I care for a wool suit?
Dry clean only, and not too often. Hang it on a shaped hanger, brush it after wearing and let it rest a day between wears.
