Ultimate Guide To Double Breasted vs Single Breasted Jackets | RMRS Style Videos

About this video

Centeno compares double-breasted and single-breasted jackets, explaining the structural differences between them and offering guidance on when each style works best. He argues that single-breasted jackets are more versatile and practical for most men, while double-breasted jackets suit those seeking a more formal, fashion-forward look and can work well for larger or shorter men when properly tailored.

Key takeaways

• Centeno identifies the key visual difference between jacket styles: double-breasted jackets have overlapping fabric with multiple buttons (both functional and decorative), while single-breasted jackets have a single column of working buttons
• Centeno recommends that double-breasted jackets should always feature a Y-formation button pattern (not V-formation), peak lapels, double vents or no vents, and jetted or flat pockets—never patch pockets
• Centeno argues single-breasted jackets are more versatile and common, making them easier to find and more affordable, while double-breasted jackets require neckwear and work best for men with specific body types or those wearing suits frequently
