I am sure some of you are aware that we love double breasted suits here at Jack Bunneys. (Those of you who saw episode 1 of the Vlog, will know we are 'big fans') However it has beens some time since double-breasted suits have been on-trend for wedding suits! So when considering how we was going to incorporate double breasted into our stock for 2014 wedding suits, we had a number of issues to consider. Number 1: fit. Double-breasted is notoriously difficult to fit, if we were going to hire a DB, we would have to have a range of sizes from 34 chest up to (at least) 44 chest, in short, regular and long. For me that ruled out hiring double-breasted suits. Double-breasted wedding suits should be fitted and to fit a double breasted suit correctly you have to make each one 'made to measure'.
Number 2: How to make the groom look like a groom? We simply added a few touches to make the double-breated suit stand out. We added real mother-of-pearl buttons (on the front and cuffs) and we added an ivory lapel hole, these ivory touches added a special wedding significance to the suit jacket, whilst keeping the look of a traditional double breasted blazer. We also used a coloured shirt (rather than standard white) with a stiff white colour. This again added a special wedding significance whilst keeping that traditional look.
I would like to introduce, new for 2014: Double Breasted Wedding Suits
The centre suits (double breasted) are made to measure only. The suits either side can be hired and are called 'The York'
