Crossed Suit

The Return of the Double-Breasted Suit for Men

 

Unlike a single-breasted jacket, where the panels meet at the buttons, the double-breasted jacket overlaps with two front panels. Naturally more fitted at the waist and slightly longer than a classic suit jacket, the double-breasted jacket is a cornerstone of the modern business wardrobe. Highly fashionable up to the 1950s, it is now making a strong comeback in contemporary men’s closets.

Discover Fursac double-breasted suits: striped, patterned, or solid, each piece allows you to project an elegant, refined, and timeless style.

 

How to Wear a Double-Breasted Suit

 

Like any classic suit, the double-breasted look is traditionally paired with a shirt, tie, and leather shoes. For a more relaxed vibe or cooler weather, a Fursac man may break the rules with a turtleneck or crew-neck sweater under the jacket.

When seated, you can leave your jacket open, but always button your double-breasted jacket when standing to maintain a clean silhouette and prevent the overlapping panels from widening your frame.

Fursac Suits: European Craftsmanship with a Semi-Traditional Method

Every double-breasted suit from Fursac is crafted using meticulous semi-traditional techniques, distinct from standard ready-to-wear methods that rely on heat-fused finishes and reduce garment longevity. Each sleeve is carefully made in Europe by skilled artisans, with the jacket lapels reinforced with a wool and natural horsehair canvas. This tailoring ensures flexibility, sharp lines, and excellent structure for your suit.

 

Fursac and Italian Master Drapers

 

Passionate about fabrics and dedicated to offering only the finest materials, Fursac collaborates with leading Italian drapers. These partnerships allow the Maison to select flawless textiles and create suits—both double-breasted and three-piece—that combine French elegance with renowned Italian textile craftsmanship.

 

The Art of Tailoring by Fursac

 

Driven by a commitment to quality, Fursac favors a semi-traditional tailoring approach for all its garments. Wool canvas and horsehair stitched inside the lapels, minimal use of fusing, and natural materials for shoulder pads and sleeve heads: every detail ensures remarkable flexibility, structure, and precision.

Whether in-store or online, Fursac advisors are available to help you choose the perfect style, color, and length for your double-breasted suit.
