😂😂😂 4x1. 4x8 wtf arguing over buttons, the best👍
Real passion and knowledge here!
This is how a civilized debate among gentlemen does look like. But yeah this was funny 😂
As always, the music is too loud and not needed. Would be much better without it.
Disagree that it was too loud. Agree it wasn't really necessary.
Great content, gents. The disagreement over the button configuration was amusing - nice try, Austin. As ever, you have presented a stunning outfit as the centre piece and shown it in alternative styles that are all imaginatively put together. While I have a double-breasted navy blue blazer, having a similar type of jacket in a beige / biscuit tone has never been on my sartorial radar. After seeing this video, it is now! All of my suits are double-breasted; single-breasted just does not cut the mustard for me. This year (2023), I ditched my single-breasted dinner suit in favour of a pristine vintage 70+ year-old double-breasted edition. Originally bespoke, and oozing quality, only minimal alterations to the trousers were required by my local tailor to make it a perfect fit. Correctly accessorised, it looks the business.
I got my first double-breasted from Circolo 1901 recently, and it's quickly become my favourite blazer. It's unstructured and doesn't crease easily, so I wear it for flying. Definitely planning on getting more.
It all comes down to the cut, fit, and fabric. Cucinelli cord double-breasted jacket has been a staple in my wardrobe for years alongside Brioni DB suits.
First # of total buttons, second # of working buttons...4x2
I know some factories that use that code.
Sure, I've had other single-breasted jackets paired with odd-pants and such, but the very first suit I got was actually double-breasted. Jaded pockets, no vent and wide lapels. I absolutely love it and wish that I had more occasions where I could wear it more.
I had one made because I really wanted one for a long time. It has patched pockets, no shoulder padding, wider lapels and 1/3 lined.
It's a 6 on 2 and I'm so chuffed.
Absolutely. If you can find one.
I always thought this was a four on one look. If I had this made bespoke, I’d probably specify removable buttons - the ability to swap button colours would make this jacket even more versatile.
It's a 4 on 2.
Yes I'd love being able to add brass buttons to make it look more like a blazer on occasions and a suit on others!
It’s a button 2, show 2…

This channel is having guidance from decent tailors. I like the debate and agruement about buttons too😂. I have learned a few things I did not know about style as well.
Great to hear!
@@RampleyandCo I have a new navy 6 button double breasted blazer. When standing and walking, should I leave the botton button undone as I would a single breasted? Or keep the button at the bottom done up? Personally I like the symmetry and showing off all 6 buttons (as opposed to just 5 being shown). But wondered what the etiquette is? Thanks
Love the final ensemble with the black turtleneck. The color contrast is beautifully chic.
Thank you so much for your kind comment. We're thrilled to hear that you loved the final ensemble!
Dude took it personally at 3:53 😂😂😂
😂
Try again! Best part of the video was the look on the face of the guy on the left
Is a double breasted blazer (and also coat) suitable for slim men?
I am 6ft and 75 kg with a slim, yet athletic physique.
Yes.
Yes.. Is not good for short and fat people, this video fails to describe the stature and build of the wearer.
Despite being a retired Royal Navy officer, I don't favour them. If I were to buy one, it would be a blue blazer.
could you do a video or share your thoughts on wedding suit options for a groom besides a black tux
One of the best segments you both have presented. Filled with intel! Love how this jacket lends itself so well to various sartorial situations. Would like hear some styling tips on whether it’s ever acceptable to keep the buttons undone. My sense is it would detract from the whole aesthetic. And would patch pockets as an option add informality to a still splendid garment? What about slanted pockets? Maybe for a Part II. Austin looking cool today and giving Chris a run at it. 😊 🥂
Thank you…Austin is a very stylish guy.
I leave DB jackets undone…and I love a patch pocket on a blazer
@@chrismodoo6563 You guys are terrific! I know “sprezzatura” is an Italian term but these tips are right on par with creating nonchalant elegance! Love it. Thanks!
@@gerardanthony9834 thank you and the first rule of s*********a….is we never talk about it. Thank you and Happy New Year!
3:50 onward, mister on the right is very conceited and condescending. this is ungentlemanly and should have been edited to exclude this.
Agreed. Blasted live. 👎
My right or your right?
I like the darker DB suits with darker buttons. Kind of hides the ‘bullet hole’ look.
DESIGNS CAN BE AS MODERNIZED AS EVERYTHING ELSE...!
I own strictly double breasted...hides the fat better 😂
Can a guy, 5'10 & 100kg wear a DB jacket?
Anyone can wear a double-breasted blazer and look fantastic. However, it's important to ensure the jacket doesn't extend too far below the belt, regardless of your height.
Gentlemen enjoy your D.B.!!!!!
Is ironic to discuss DB when neither of them were wearing it on this vid. One big thing they failed miserably here on this vid is first focus on the stature and build of the wearer. IMHO if you are short and fat, is going to make you wider and shorter. If you are short but more normal build have a more cropped length (not traditional) so it doesn't make you look too short. DB is very hard to wear unless you wanna look like Princes Charles in the 90s and 2000s as is very dated. Also with a DB, you need to button it up, unless you wear it as a fashionable blazer (which should be oversized) with your Balenciagas
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
I can think of no greater compliment than to be associated with the style of the Prince of Wales in the 90s. Long Live The King!
