No where, and I mean no where, in the business world is a double-breasted jacket the symbol of professionalism. No one who wears a business suit in a professional setting, from CEOs to senior managers to salespeople to anyone else, chooses a double breasted jacket. I’ve never seen Ed or JL in a double breasted jacket. I’m not sure what the dress code is on the 4th floor, but I can bet that every person on that floor who is wearing a jacket is going single breasted, even flight ops guys who are not in the pilot uniform. A well-fitted, tailored single breasted jacket is the professional norm. We are following some norm that was in place when legal segregation was still a thing. Time to update to todays vision of a professional look.

As a rule, the double-breasted suit is appropriate anywhere a single-breasted suit goes. While it is considered more formal than the single, its bold styling in the warmer months – as seen with the peacocks at Pitti Uomo – the double-breasted is now the choice with more flair.Jan 3, 2021

I’ve less than 5 years left and I’ll spring for the single breasted jacket ASAP, if for no other reason than it’ll bother the type that’s in love with the horse blanket.

I like it though, and favor no change. It’s no less comfortable than any other suit, and I think it looks good.
