    Your ability to place garments in their historical context is priceless. A double breasted peak lapeled jacket, (sport coat or suit) is always elegant and a step above the usual and the ordinary. I have a few of both and they ALWAYS attract attention without being ostentatious.

    I believe you forgot to mention that there was a resurgence of double breasted jackets in the eighties and nineties, with looser fits, as opposed to the sixties and seventies, where the skinnier modernist suits and the suits from the "Disco" era prevailed.
    These looser double breasted suits from the eighties/nineties were mostly associated to those who worked in finance, especially in banking. The style was also pushed by brands such as Giorgio Armani until the nineties and slowly faded throughout the 2000s until current times.

    Things fathers forgot to teach their sons. Thank you so much for teaching generations how to find their own style and keep it classy. I am a double breasted attracted woman myself. I think it enhances aspects of a man I find attractive. One of the first serial killers caught using FBI behavioral science applications, the profiler said he would be wearing a double breasted suit. Though they arrested him in his jammies, they allowed him to change. He changed into his double breasted suit. It is still my favorite cut.

    Hiya Prof-
    It's a shame how "fashion" dictates taste...
    Many men could benefit from say a double breasted jacket, higher rise trousers and specific necktie widths, proportionate to their specific body type.
    But somehow, the industry has convinced most men to try and fit into the "skinny suit" and they seem to sell PLENTY of them.
    Regardless if the guys buying them look like dookey 😂
    By the way... That particular jacket you're wearing! Absolutely beautiful.
