Most men write off the double breasted blazer before they’ve given it a fair hearing. Too formal, they think. Too much. And if we’re being real, a badly cut double breasted does nobody any favors. The buttons pull, the lapels flatten, the whole thing reads like a costume. But the right one is a different conversation entirely. A well constructed double breasted with a proper six on two button configuration and a lapel that rolls correctly is one of the most commanding things a man can put on. It works over tailored trousers for serious occasions and it works with dark denim when the fit is relaxed enough to allow it. We’ve been looking specifically at cuts that don’t require you to be built like a model to wear well, and fabrics that move past the standard navy into territory worth getting interested in. These are the double breasted blazers that change the mind of anyone who thought they weren’t for him.
